• Collaborate with Sales and Finance to support the development of a rolling 3-5-year product roadmap based on commercial evidence.
• Develop business cases for new product introductions and portfolio changes, incorporating sales forecasts, pricing, margins and competitive positioning.

Pricing & Product Information

• Own and maintain the global price list, working closely with Finance, Sales and Operations to ensure pricing updates are accurate and communicated effectively.
• Ensure all product information remains current and accessible, including technical data, specifications, environmental information and configuration details.
• Manage the marketing implications of Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), assessing impacts on pricing, collateral and communications.
• Maintain the accuracy of product specification data within digital configuration tools, working alongside IT to ensure new products launch with up-to-date information.

Go-to-Market Support

• Translate technical and engineering information into clear, benefit-led messaging for customers and sales teams.
• Ensure marketing collateral accurately reflects the current product portfolio and category positioning.
• Act as the internal product expert, supporting sales teams with product knowledge, specifications, competitive positioning and commercial messaging.

Market & Competitor Intelligence

• Maintain an up-to-date understanding of market trends, customer needs, competitor activity and pricing.
• Conduct competitor analysis to identify opportunities and gaps within the portfolio.
• Develop knowledge of regional market requirements and advise the business on implications for product development and go-to-market strategies.
• Provide sales teams with market insight to support customer conversations.

Reporting & Insights

• Develop dashboards and reporting frameworks to monitor portfolio performance, product launches and market positioning.
