Duties and responsibilities

Seaonics is establishing a Product Management function to drive standardisation, reuse and commercial strength across our portfolio of mission-critical handling equipment (cranes, gangways, LARS, A-frames, W2W systems). We are looking for a Product Portfolio Manager to lead this function.
Seaonics already has Product Line Owners distributed across Engineering and CS, in Norway and Poland. The PPM provides the framework, portfolio view and commercial rigour that lets them spend their time well on the product side, and aligns the product lines into one coherent portfolio across CS and Engineering.

• Own the portfolio framework on behalf of CTO: planning, resource allocation, roadmap and stage gates
• Drive the product evolution process: prepare and facilitate decisions on when to evolve a line, when to standardise and when to break new ground
• Work with the Product Line Owners and Sales to strengthen commercial discipline (margin, reuse, win rate), and equip sales department with price matrices and reuse logic for productized lines
• Coordinate the commercial and marketing material across the product lines, together with Marketing, Sales and the Product Line Owners, so the portfolio is presented consistently to the market.
• Build business cases and defend capex for product initiatives, representing these towards the CTO, CEO and senior leadership
• Act as the bridge across Sales, CS, Engineering, GSU and the Product Line Owners, formalizing field and market feedback into the roadmap
• Chair the regular product prioritisation forum and drive product priorities proactively

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, business or similar 3-6 years from product management, business development, technical sales or engineering, ideally in offshore, maritime or industrial equipment
• Experience with business cases, capex justifications and commercial analyses, including pricing strategy and competitive positioning
• Comfortable with margin, cost, pricing, payback and simple financial modelling
• Good understanding of technical products, without needing to be the deepest expert
• Fluent in English; Norwegian is an advantage

SEAONICS works systematically for inclusion and diversity and encourage everyone to apply, even if your competence does not match 100% the above.

This employment may require a background check, or security clearance by the Norwegian National Security Authority.

Personal qualities

• Able to influence without formal line authority. Earns trust through clarity, structure and commercial insight
• Structured and organised; builds frameworks from scratch
• Strong communicator across commercial, technical and operational language
• Driver and commercial mindset: gets things done, follows up, asks what this is worth and to whom
•  We encourage women to apply for this position

We can offer

• Inspiring working environment with challenging tasks in an exciting and international team
• Opportunities for learning and personal development
• Flexible work hours and competitive salary and benefit package
• Company health services
• Good pension and insurance agreements
• Modern office facilities

SEAONICS and VARD recognizes the importance of having fun at work, this is why with VARD Social you will have the chance to bond with colleagues through new experiences and shared interests. The social offer varies throughout the year and includes activities like 'walk and talk' during lunch hours, fjord cruises, cooking lessons, go karting, football practices and wine tasting, just to name a few. 

With the right blend of fun, expertise and hard work, we are creating ships for the future. Join us!
