About Us Imagine a company with technology leadership of over 160 years, yet it operates with the energy of a startup. Ingersoll Rand has dedicated itself to Making Life Better for its employees, customers, shareholders, and planets. We produce innovative and mission-critical flow creation and life science technologies - from compressors to precision handling of liquids, gasses, and powers - to increase industrial productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. Supported by over 80+ brands, our products are used in various end-markets including life sciences, food and beverage, clean energy, industrial manufacturing, infrastructure, and more. Job Overview Help Build What's Next in Industrial Automation. ARO Fluid Management, a premier global industrial brand within Ingersoll Rand, is ready to take advanced dispense to the next level-and we're looking for the product leader who can help define where we go next.
The Global Product Manager, Advanced Dispense and Piston Pumps will lead a proven portfolio while accelerating one of the business's biggest growth opportunities: two-component (2K) dispensing applications. The opportunity is to take ARO's proven piston-pump technology and help transform it into scalable, repeatable advanced-dispense solutions that move, meter, mix and apply adhesives, sealants, foams, coatings, lubricants and other critical materials with precision. These solutions support automotive assembly, battery production, solar manufacturing, marine, coatings, lubrication and automated manufacturing-including applications that may not even be on the roadmap yet.
As Global Product Manager, you'll define and execute the full portfolio strategy and lifecycle, with a strong focus on finding new applications, customers, markets, channels and system opportunities. You'll work closely with customers to understand how they manufacture, uncover unmet needs, translate the voice of the customer and market into clear product requirements, and partner with Engineering to turn opportunities into scalable products, systems and services. Serving as the global connector across Sales, Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, Marketing, Service, regional teams and customers, you'll shape product roadmaps, lead new-product development and gate reviews, analyze global market and business data, and develop the application stories and commercial tools that help sales teams win. You'll also ensure the portfolio remains competitive, profitable and aligned with evolving customer applications, market needs and industrial standards. We're looking for a product leader who is curious, commercially minded, technically credible and growth-oriented-someone willing to step into an unfamiliar application, ask the right questions, engage customers and technical experts, test assumptions, learn quickly and challenge the status quo. With Advanced Dispense positioned as a significant strategic growth area for ARO, this highly visible role offers the opportunity to partner closely with business leadership and help shape the next generation of industrial fluid handling and automation.
