DESCRIPTION

Join our collaborative team at Thermo Fisher Scientific, where you'll help shape the future of digital solutions for bioprocessing. As Senior Manager, Product Management – Connected Bioprocess Solutions, you will lead the strategy and execution of a portfolio of software, automation, and digital products that help customers improve productivity, process performance, and operational efficiency.

This is a highly visible leadership role responsible for defining product strategy, developing long-term roadmaps, and delivering innovative solutions that address evolving customer needs. You will identify market opportunities, guide portfolio investments, and partner across the organization to deliver differentiated solutions that support both customer success and business growth.

Reporting to the Director of Product Management, you will lead a team of Product Managers while working closely with R&D, Software Engineering, Commercial, Marketing, Operations, Manufacturing, and Strategic Business Development.

You will develop business cases, support annual operating plans, lead new product introductions, and monitor portfolio performance throughout the product lifecycle.

The role also requires building strong relationships across internal teams and external partners to accelerate innovation and ensure solutions meet the evolving needs of customers worldwide.

As a key product leader, you will engage directly with customers, commercial teams, and industry stakeholders to gather market insights, validate product direction, and strengthen Thermo Fisher's leadership position in bioprocessing technologies.

This role offers an opportunity to influence the future direction of Thermo Fisher's digital product portfolio while helping customers improve process performance through innovative technology solutions.
