Manufacturing | Injection Molding | B2B Industrial Products
Confidential Client
Overview
We are partnering with a well-established, growth-oriented manufacturer serving industrial and OEM markets to identify a Product Manager. This role will lead product planning, lifecycle management, and go-to-market strategy across a broad portfolio of injection molding products.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who understands the realities of tooling, materials, manufacturing constraints, and customer-driven design, not a purely software or consumer-goods product background.

- Manage full product lifecycle management (PLCM) from concept through end-of-life
- Translate customer, market, and sales input into clear, actionable product requirements
- Partner closely with engineering and manufacturing to ensure products are feasible, competitive, and profitable
- Conduct market and competitive analysis within injection molding and plastics markets
- Develop and manage beta programs, pilots, and product validation efforts
- Set pricing strategies aligned with margin, revenue, and asset utilization goals
- Deliver annual product line revenue, profitability, and asset plans
- Collaborate with Marketing on new product launches, positioning, and messaging
- Train sales and customer-facing teams on product features, applications, and value propositions
- Support trade shows, key customer visits, and periodic travel to manufacturing and distribution locations
- Contribute to product data governance including PIM systems, ERP integration, e-commerce, and product catalogs
Required Background & Experience
- Direct experience with injection molding is required; This may include molded components, tooling-driven products, resins/materials, or plastics manufacturing environments
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or related field (or equivalent industry experience)
- 3–5+ years of progressive experience in product management within a manufacturing environment
- Proven ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, operations, sales, and marketing
- Strong understanding of cost drivers, margins, tooling considerations, and manufacturing scalability
- Experience supporting B2B customers and industrial or OEM markets
- Familiarity with ERP systems, PIM platforms, and Microsoft Office tools
