There are not many opportunities to write your own job description, but this is one of them.
Having not had a Product Manager in the business before, you'll be the first one in, and with that, you can make what you want of this position. No "We've always done it this way" or big shoes to fill. You, your knowledge, experience, and attitude will make this a cracker of a role. They know what they want from a Product Manager, but you'll have free reign to implement and advance the role.
Ideally, you'll be applying for this role with experience as a Product Manager. What is most important, though, is that you are strong technically within the world of print, graphics, and large-format production. This role is overarching between Studio, Production, Sales, Marketing, and Client Services. You'll be both internally and externally facing, responsible for gathering, maintaining, creating, and updating tech specs. You'll be involved in projects from start to finish and in tech support and troubleshooting for internal departments and external customers. Honestly, there won't be much you won't be involved with.
You'll be joining a very sales-driven business. As a supplier of hardware and substrates to a niche market, they've always been driven by adding value, offering guidance, and generating revenue at decent margins. One thing they know where they can add extra value to the customer base, to their offering, and to upskilling their staff is with this role. You will be pivotal in the development and progression of this business.
When it comes to reputation, you'll be working for one of the front runners in this space. With 70 years of experience and nearly 50 members of staff, you'll be reporting into somebody who's been with the business for 11 years. Pretty steady. The knowledge and experience within this place is exceptional. The culture is strong and one that is collaborative and ambitious, with clear communication, progression opportunities, and a real sense of value-driven work.
You must be coming from the printing industry with exceptional knowledge of the large format, wide format, and exhibition graphics space. In what area you have this experience, we are flexible with, as long as you like the sound of the role; it's worth a conversation.
Interviewing now. No CV is needed to start a conversation, so please do get in touch as I doubt this one will be around for long.
