About the Role

We are looking for a Product Manager to take ownership of a key part of our equipment portfolio within production line solutions.

In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring that our products are well-defined, competitive, and effectively executed across the organization — from development and engineering to delivery and lifecycle performance.

You will operate at the intersection of technology, business, and operations, acting as a central point of coordination between Engineering, Sales, Production, and other stakeholders. In addition, the role includes managerial responsibility for employees within both our Danish and Turkish organization, ensuring alignment, performance, and integration with the broader product and engineering setup.

The role is less about detailed engineering design and more about driving alignment, making decisions, and ensuring overall product success across teams and geographies.

Your Responsibilities

You will play a key role across the full value chain, combining product ownership with people leadership:

People Leadership & Team Development

Lead, manage, and develop a team based in both Denmark and Turkey

Set clear goals and expectations, and follow up on performance, development, and engagement

Support employee growth through coaching, feedback, and development planning

Ensure a strong team structure with the right competencies to support current and future needs

Foster a collaborative, accountable, and high-performing team culture across locations

Product Leadership & Alignment

Act as the central point of ownership for your product areas

Align priorities and direction across engineering teams, commercial functions, and operations

Ensure a consistent approach to how products are developed and delivered across teams and geographies

Take responsibility for products from development through delivery and ongoing improvement

Balance customer needs, technical feasibility, cost, and delivery performance

Drive decisions on standardization versus customization

Operational Execution & Performance

Ensure that engineering and product decisions support efficient project execution

Work closely with production, supply chain, and teams globally to ensure scalable and manufacturable solutions

Identify and drive improvements in products, processes, and ways of working

Commercial & Market Alignment

Support sales teams in key customer dialogues and larger bids

Contribute to pricing, cost structures, and overall product competitiveness

Translate market and customer insights into product priorities

Strategy & Continuous Improvement

Translate strategic direction into concrete product plans and initiatives

Drive long-term improvements while supporting ongoing business needs

Balance strategic development with day-to-day operational demands

Resource & Organizational Alignment

Ensure effective prioritization and allocation of engineering resources

Align team capacity with business needs and project demands

Facilitate collaboration across teams, functions, and locations

Your Profile

We are looking for someone who brings a strong combination of leadership, business understanding, and technical insight:

Experience in product management, engineering leadership, or a similar role

Background in engineering, industrial equipment, or production environments

Proven people management experience, ideally in an international or cross-cultural setup

Strong leadership skills — able to drive alignment both with and without formal authority

Good commercial understanding and ability to balance technical and business decisions

Experience working across functions in a matrix organization

Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

Fluent in English (written and spoken)
