Job Description Summary

In this role, you own the global strategy, lifecycle, and performance of Colibrium Additive’s metal additive printer portfolio – including hardware, software, materials, and peripherals. You are the person who turns market insight and customer needs into a winning, profitable product portfolio.

Job Description Summary

You will lead the product management function end-to-end: setting the vision, shaping the roadmap, and making the key trade-offs that drive revenue, margin, and share growth. You will define how our products compete and win, and you will be accountable for delivering safe, high‑quality, reliable solutions that customers trust for their most critical applications.

Working at the intersection of technology and business, you will partner closely with Technology/Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Service, and Sales/Marketing. Together, you will translate strategy into measurable outcomes in Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost, while accelerating the adoption of metal additive manufacturing worldwide.

If you are excited by the opportunity to combine strategic leadership, technical depth, and commercial impact—and to leave a tangible mark on an industry in transformation—this role gives you the platform and scope to do exactly that. We are keen to appoint a suitable candidate in the near term, so we encourage you to submit your application promptly.

Top Responsibilities

Set and deliver annual and multi‑year targets for margin, revenue, share, price realization, and investment allocation.
Define and track portfolio KPIs tied to customer value and reliability: uptime, yield, cost‑per‑part, warranty performance, customer satisfaction.
Own long‑term portfolio strategy across hardware, software, and materials.
Govern and prioritize NPIs, variants, and end‑of‑life transitions aligned to customer outcomes and regulatory requirements based on alignment and in close collaboration with the primary customer and stakeholder GE Aerospace.
Establish product management standards and tollgate governance with clear release criteria, verification/validation, and EHS compliance.
Monitor product quality and compliance; drive CAPAs with Quality and Engineering to timely closure.
Build and lead the PM team; define standards, competencies, and best practices.
Ensure process discipline, decision quality, clear roles/RACI, and effective escalation pathways.
Align Technology/Engineering, Materials/Process, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Service and Sales/Marketing on strategy, priorities, and launch/field readiness.
Remove roadblocks and ensure clean handoffs; track SC/Mfg readiness through established forums without assuming execution ownership.
Define differentiated value; set pricing, packaging, and commercial terms.
Partner with Sales/Marketing on segmentation, positioning, launch readiness, collateral, and enablement.
Translate customer and regulatory needs into prioritized, testable requirements.
Simplify configurations/options to improve deliverability, cost, and customer outcomes while protecting value.
Anticipate customer needs, regulatory trends, and technology inflections; identify opportunities in applications, materials, software, and services.
Conduct market and competitive analysis; measure value vs. alternatives and adjust roadmap accordingly.
Identify and evaluate adjacencies, alliances, and partnerships that accelerate adoption and enhance outcomes.
Integrate emerging regulatory requirements into MGPP, NPI, and release processes with Quality, EHS, and Engineering.

Have a proven track record leading diverse, international teams, motivating people and driving results across regions.

How Your Success Will Be Measured

Portfolio gross margin expansion and price realization.
Installed base reliability (uptime, yield, cost‑per‑part, warranty trends).
On‑time delivery of NPIs and lifecycle transitions.
Customer satisfaction, competitive win rates, and share gains.
Portfolio complexity reduction and cost‑out without eroding customer value.
