Pitch is absolutely delighted to be working with this fantastic leading distributor of interior furnishings.  Following an exciting period of growth, they are looking for an Assistant Product Manager to join the team and support one of their key categories.  You will be working in a product or brand role currently and perhaps looking for your second role to take that next step in your career.

In this role you will be required to:

• Manage the performance of a portfolio from cradle to grave.
• Conduct continuous market and competitor research to inform range reviews and planning for NPD.
• Monitor trends and commercial performance across your portfolio.
• Liaise with factories in the Far East to discuss sourcing requirements and scope out costs.
• Manage the NPD process through to commercialisation.
• Liaise regularly with customers, the sales team and cross functional colleagues, including some customer facing work.

To be considered for this role you will need to be able to demonstrate:

• Previous experience within a product or brand role.
• Some understanding of the NPD process from beginning to end.
• Some exposure of supporting the delivery of new ranges to market.
• Some experience of managing obsolete products out of a category.
• An excellent commercial acumen.
• A background ideally within consumer product development in industries such as homewares, gifting, interiors, baby or FMCG.

This company is a fantastic business to work for. They genuinely support their team and love to allow them the autonomy to develop and grow. If you are truly driven and passionate about product management and want to move into a role that will allow you to grow the experience you already have, this could be the role for you.
