Technical Product Manager

Technical Product Manager

Position Summary

We're a leading provider of switching, monitoring, and control solutions for the power industry, serving utility, industrial power, and defense markets worldwide. We deliver high-quality, innovative products engineered for the most demanding applications.

The Technical Product Manager (TPM) for Switches and Meters is a senior, strategic role that bridges engineering execution with executive-level business strategy. Reporting directly to the Vice President, this position owns the full product lifecycle-from new product development proposals through international market expansion and acquired product integration.

Candidates must have direct Product Management experience on the manufacturing/supplier side, specifically within data center power infrastructure. We're looking for someone who already understands the data center market, its customers, and its applications-not simply someone who has worked in or supported a data center environment.

This role provides technical and commercial leadership across assigned product lines, ensuring technical excellence, competitive positioning, and long-term market success. The TPM applies data-driven decision-making, deep technical expertise, and rigorous market analysis to influence our global product roadmap and growth strategy.

• M&A Product Integration : Lead the technical and operational integration of products acquired through mergers and acquisitions, ensuring alignment with existing portfolios, systems, and go-to-market strategies.
• Data-Driven Decision Making : Leverage ERP, CRM, and sales data to analyze product performance, geographic opportunities, sales channel effectiveness, and new market entry opportunities.
• Pricing & Profitability Analysis : Develop and maintain pricing models, including elasticity analysis, to optimize margins across diverse markets and competitive landscapes.
• Technical Communication & Thought Leadership : Author and present technical briefs and white papers, develop internal product specifications, and solicit endorsements from customers and external industry partners.
• Field Leadership & Travel : Provide hands-on leadership through extensive travel (approximately 25%) to visit customers and sales representatives, and assess sales processes and market opportunities.
• Competitive Intelligence : Develop comprehensive benchmarking and competitive analysis reports to evaluate product performance, features, and positioning relative to competitors.
• Global Market Expansion : Identify and define strategies for expanding into new international markets and sales channels, supporting sustainable global growth.

Knowledge, Skills & Experience

• Technical bachelor's degree with 7+ years of relevant experience; MBA or other advanced degree preferred.
• Required : Direct Product Management experience within data center power infrastructure, gained on the manufacturing/supplier side.
• Strong technical background in electromechanical components, meters, and products used in energy distribution and generation.
• Advanced proficiency with ERP and CRM systems and large-scale data analysis, including reporting and database querying; experience with Infor Syteline (Infor CloudSuite Industrial) is a plus.
