Market Product Manager

The Role

Fisher & Paykel is one of New Zealand’s best-known brands, a global company with a strong heritage and ambitious plans. Our New Zealand origins, curious nature and passion to develop luxury products designed around people are core elements that make us unique.

Driven by our brand values of being real, generous, curious and sustainably minded, as a team we take a collaborative approach, have a culture where ideas are heard, and are united in our leading goal to be the world's most human-centred, #1 premium appliance brand.

We are entering an exciting new phase in the evolution of our luxury brand, as we expand our presence in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland into a state-of-the-art three-site campus. Our Global HQ in Penrose, Distribution Centre in East Tāmaki and our world leading Global Experience Centre in the Grey Lynn.

Connected across the Auckland isthmus, our campus sites combine to tell the story of our people, our brand and our future legacy. These bespoke, purpose-built developments located strategically across the region will see Fisher & Paykel create a centre for excellence in appliance design and innovation in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The Opportunity

We are on the look-out for a commercially savvy Product Manager to join our New Zealand Distributor Business, who is a strong influencer with an agile mind set. Tasked with managing the product lifecycle from new product introduction to end of life, as the expert of the product line portfolio, this role will deliver sound insights that drive portfolio growth across the dual brands of Fisher & Paykel Appliances and Haier.

This is where you come in

You’ll be responsible for the planning and execution of the product line strategy and driving portfolio optimisation ensuring correct positioning and mix of high performing products, and rationalising of low performing products. You will proactively plan and execute new product introductions and activity to maximise revenue and margin, deeply understanding the product line & associated brands, and their price positioning in market.

You will have the ability to build a strong understanding of the product line’s financial performance, providing regular, robust market insights of product line to Global Product Managers. Collaborating closely with all channels to devise strategies that will support their channel, you will ensure cross-functional alignment with stakeholders across all teams.

To be successful in this role, you will respond to competitor activity, ensuring right product, through to analysing success of product lines. You will ensure a seamless, brand aligned representation of F&P and Haier’s brand value proposition applied across all customer touch points.

So that's the role who are you?

We are looking for someone who is not only passionate about products but has the ability to influence and lead across the business to ensure their commercial success. You will have experience in dealing with multiple stakeholders to help drive growth and to execute on agreed plans.

You are also comfortable operating in situations where there is some level of ambiguity. You'll inherently know how to extract and analyse information and concisely present this to all the relevant stakeholders. In time, you will be seen as a trusted category expert within our business.

You will ideally have previous working experience in a product management role within consumer goods, luxury goods, FMCG, or even in a category analyst role? A key component of what you have to offer is that you've got a genuine interest in the business and our product portfolios.

What We Offer

We can give you the rare opportunity to move into a large, complex global organisation headquartered in NZ, where you will gain wide exposure across the business. This role has diverse and exciting challenges and the chance to continually learn and develop.

Along with a competitive salary, flexible working, ongoing development and excellent growth and progression opportunities, as a valued member of our team you’ll enjoy generous discounts on Fisher & Paykel and Haier products, life & disability insurance, discounted medical cover, access to our superannuation scheme, access to our leading Whanau/Family leave offering, our subsidised staff café, and free parking when you are on-site.

All this, coupled with great leadership and backed by a world leading heritage brand that is consistently ranked as one of New Zealand’s most Trusted Brands… year after year.
