Do you enjoy leading cross-functional initiatives at the intersection of technology, commercialization and lifecycle performance? At AmbaFlex, we're looking for a Product Manager who can connect market opportunities with the organization and turn product ideas into globally launch-ready solutions.\nWho are we?\nAt AmbaFlex, we are the global leader in spiral conveyor solutions. Our systems keep production and logistics processes moving for some of the world's leading companies in food & beverage, e-commerce fulfilment, parcel logistics and manufacturing.\nInnovation is at the heart of everything we do. That's why we continuously invest in new products, smarter solutions and technologies that create value for our customers worldwide.\nProduct Manager - Product Introduction & Lifecycle\nAs Product Manager, you act as the Industry Product Lead for an assigned portfolio. You connect Industry Business Development, Technology/Engineering and the functions that must sell, produce, install and service the product. Business Development drives market development and key accounts, while Technology owns technical design and validation. You own the integrated introduction and lifecycle-readiness process that brings all contributions together.\nYou work across Idea-to-Market, Market-to-Order and the feedback loop from Order-to-Cash. From portfolio mapping and gap analysis to business-case preparation, stage-gate coordination, global launch, regional onboarding and post-launch follow-up, you ensure products become commercially usable, operationally repeatable and fully supported solutions.\nWhat you'll do\nMaintain a structured product and portfolio map, including lifecycle status, variants, gaps and improvement priorities.\n\nTranslate insights from consultants and architects, system integrators, end users and regional teams into clear requirements together with Business Development, the Industry Application Engineer and Technology.\n\nPrepare decision-ready gap analyses, value propositions and business cases for new products, product improvements and lifecycle decisions.\n\nAct as the internal project manager for product introductions and major lifecycle changes, using an integrated plan, stage-gates, owners, milestones, dependencies, risks and clear definitions of done.\n\nCoordinate readiness across Technology/Engineering, Product Engineering, Operations, Quality, Marketing, Sales and Service, while specialist functions retain ownership of their technical content and sign-offs.\n\nCoordinate the market-introduction package and regional onboarding: training, battlecards, whitepapers, webpage content, presentations, consultant specification material, system-integrator guidance, demonstrations and exhibition preparation.\n\nEnsure visibility and completion of product, operational and service deliverables such as PDCs and configuration guidance, product data and BOM status, production/test checklists, manuals, compliance readiness, spare-parts packages, maintenance concepts and pricing alignment.\n\nSupport first-of-kind and pilot introductions, capture lessons learned and turn them into product, documentation, training, service and process improvements.\n\nRun post-launch reviews, monitor adoption and performance, maintain the lifecycle-improvement backlog and drive agreed actions to closure.\n\nWhat success looks like\nProducts launch with a complete sales, service, operations, documentation and technical-readiness package.\n\nRegional teams are trained and equipped before launch, with one consistent product story and clear application/configuration guidance.\n\nLate blockers and ad-hoc firefighting are reduced, while customer and field feedback is converted into measurable lifecycle improvements.\n\nWho should apply?\nWe're looking for a technically minded, commercially aware and highly structured professional who enjoys bringing people, technology and market ambitions together. You lead through influence, create clarity across functions and follow through until the complete result is delivered.\nYou bring:\nA Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Business Engineering, Product Management or a comparable technical-commercial discipline.\n\nSeveral years of experience in product management, new-product introduction, commercialization or technical project/program management within a technical B2B environment.\n\nA proven ability to translate customer and market needs into clear requirements, business cases, priorities and executable plans.\n\nExperience leading cross-functional product introductions in an international matrix organization, preferably without direct authority over all contributors.\n\nWorking knowledge of stage-gate/product-development processes and sufficient technical understanding of configuration, BOM/product data, testing, documentation, compliance readiness, serviceability and spare-parts concepts.\n\nStrong project-management, analytical, communication and stakeholder-management skills across technical, operational and commercial teams.\n\nFluency in English and willingness to travel internationally when needed.\n\nExperience within intralogistics, automation, industrial equipment or capital goods - particularly in a market involving consultants, system integrators and end customers - is considered a strong advantage.\nWhat we offer\nA visible role with the opportunity to professionalize and shape our end-to-end product-introduction and lifecycle process.\n\nThe opportunity to influence products from early market need through global launch and continuous improvement.\n\nClose collaboration with highly skilled commercial, application, engineering, operations, marketing and service teams.\n\nAn international scope, working with colleagues and regional organizations around the world.\n\nPlenty of room for personal growth and professional development.\n\nAn entrepreneurial environment where initiative, ownership and innovation are encouraged.\n\nCompetitive employment conditions and flexible working arrangements.\n\nJoin us today!\nReady to turn market opportunities into complete, globally supported product introductions and help shape the future of our product portfolio?\nApply today and become part of the AmbaFlex team.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6419,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Manufacturing","Industrial Machinery"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-15T23:53:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":27,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.61,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":105,"expected_fill_days":79,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:49:22Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ambaflex-product-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ambaflex-product-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T20:45:48Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":40574,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":669088},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=669088"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fambaflex-product-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fambaflex-product-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fambaflex-product-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ambaflex-product-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fambaflex-product-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":949998}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ambaflex.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":949998},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
