For division Rock Tools, we’re now looking for a Product Manager to take lead in our complete Down the Hole (DTH) product portfolio – someone with a doer’s attitude, great people skills and an agile approach that suits the broad audience.

Your job
In this position, you’re one of three product managers within our DTH product line, where you’re responsible for our product line and accessories used in mining and construction. You take lead in identifying, developing and evaluating our products – spanning all the way from new product ideas and enhancements to existing products or strategic product extensions – and you keep track of all phases of the life cycle for the products in our portfolio. Together with the sales organization and R&D, you create a profitable product offering and ensure a successful growth of the business. In other words, you enable our success in the field by translating research discoveries into usable and marketable products and by securing excellent service and product offerings to our customers.
One of the key success factors for us is the close collaboration together with sales areas and customers in driving continuously improvement and we take pride in truly understanding their requirements. To keep up this work, you explore the market, analyze our competition and share your knowledge through ongoing product introductions, product support and training. The location for this position is in Sandviken, although the right candidate can also be stationed at our site in Västberga, Stockholm or Tampere, Finland.
Your character
Indeed, we’re looking for someone with great communication skills. You’re independent and thrive when having a lot in your pipeline – making things happen and always striving forward, aiming for the best results.
In this position, diplomacy is a good thing, meaning you adapt and fit into any group or situation. You’re analytical, confident and resilient. You love to seize new opportunities and respond to changing market conditions. You also have a nose for business and enjoy building relationships with stakeholders, partners and colleagues all over the world. As for education and background, you hold a relevant degree and have experience from working with Down the Hole products or applications – and it’s a plus if you’ve been working with percussive rock drilling. You’re fluent in both written and verbal English, while additional language skills are beneficial.
