At Hitachi Energy's Capacitors business in Ludvika, we are looking for a Local Product Manager who will play a key role in ensuring our products meet customer expectations, regulatory requirements, and market demands across Europe.

In this role, you will be the vital link between Global Product Management, feeder factories, sales teams, engineering, and customers. You will drive local implementation of product strategies, support business growth, and ensure our portfolio remains competitive, compliant, and aligned with evolving customer needs.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys working cross-functionally in a dynamic international environment while contributing to the advancement of sustainable energy solutions. This role is based in Ludvika, Sweden, and requires frequent presence at the office due to the nature of the role.

• Experience from product management, technical sales, application engineering, or a similar customer- or product-oriented role is beneficial, but not a requirement.
• You have a commercial mindset and an interest in understanding customer and market needs, combined with the ability to work with technical topics.
• Familiarity with the European energy market, customer qualification processes, standards, or regulatory requirements is considered an advantage.
