Start date: as soon as possible
Travel: Up to 20% (trade shows, studio visits, JDM/ODM partners)
Are you passionate about professional studio monitors and the craft of making music? Do you have a strong track record in hardware product management? Do you enjoy working in fast-paced, cross-functional teams to bring exciting and technically challenging new product ideas to life?
We are looking for a forward-thinking and experienced Product Manager to own one or more of our active studio monitor lines end-to-end - from customer insight and business case, through requirements definition and stage-gate development, to launch and life in the market. Reporting to the Head of Product, you will be the cross-functional centre of your line(s) and make trade-offs on features, performance, cost and timing that get exceptional monitors into the hands of the creatives, engineers, producers and mixers who trust ADAM Audio.
Role and responsibilities:
- You will own the full lifecycle of one or more assigned studio monitor lines through opportunity framing, pre-development, stage-gate delivery, release and post-launch.
- You will monitor, document and analyse customer needs, production workflows, competitor moves and channel dynamics through structured desk research, user interviews, studio visits, dealer feedback, industry research and product testing - turning that into a defensible point of view for the roadmap.
- Working in close collaboration with the sales regions during the entire PM process, you will build structured proposals and business cases for new products, refreshes and running changes - including ASP, target BOM, gross margin, volume scenarios and pricing recommendation - for evaluation by Product Leadership and the Exec Team.
- You will translate opportunities into concise PRDs with clear acceptance criteria, balancing user value against technical feasibility across acoustics, electronics, firmware, software, and mechanics.
- You will partner with R&D, Project Management, JDM/ODM partners, Operations and Marketing, to make trade-offs on features, performance, cost and timing to meet market windows and business objectives.
- You will act as the internal hub across ADAM Audio, ensuring coordination and information flow across R&D, Sales, Marketing, Operations and Support throughout development and commercialisation.
- You will support go-to-market with pricing strategy, competitive positioning, messaging and go-to-market artefacts (data-sheets, user guides, documentation); track post-launch performance and adjust strategy accordingly.
- You will monitor in-market response and quality (warranty rates, returns, support tickets, dealer feedback) and prioritise maintenance releases, firmware updates and running changes based on business and user impact.
- You will represent your products at internal and external events - trade conferences, dealer visits, product launches - and act as a credible point of contact for users.
- Individual and team development is important, and we will support you as you look for ways to grow and improve your personal knowledge and skills.
- We will also be looking for you to own and help improve our approach to engineering and design knowledge, including best practices, processes, and tools.
- There will be the opportunity to share knowledge and practices with all companies across the Focusrite group.
Skills and Experience:
- Minimum 5 years of Hardware Product Management experience in professional audio or consumer electronics.
- A working command of the loudspeaker stack to be a credible peer to R&D; you can specify a frequency plot and ask the right questions on the measurements.
- Strong commercial and financial acumen, with the ability to author a business case, build volume and margin scenarios and reason about unit economics.
- Confidence in designing and running listening tests, structured user interviews and studio…
