Job description

Overview

The Opportunity

This is a high-impact, hands-on commercial product management role focused on the day-to-day performance, optimisation and growth of our Enteral Nutrition portfolio.

You will take ownership of commercial planning, forecasting, supply chain partnership, product lifecycle management, launch readiness and portfolio performance. You will work closely with Sales, Finance, Supply Chain, Regulatory, Scientific Affairs, Homecare (Calea) and regional and global colleagues to turn complex inputs into clear decisions and practical action.

Alongside portfolio ownership, you will be a senior member of the Nutrition Marketing team. You will use your expertise and collaborative leadership to coach colleagues, share strong practice and help raise the overall operating standard of the team, without direct line management responsibility.

The role will suit an experienced commercial product manager who combines strong operational discipline with curiosity, pace and a willingness to work in the detail.

Responsibilities

What You Will Do

Portfolio performance and commercial leadership

• Lead the day-to-day commercial management of assigned lines within the Enteral Nutrition portfolio.
• Monitor revenue, market performance, margin, risks and opportunities, and recommend actions to support sustainable growth.
• Develop and execute annual portfolio plans aligned to agreed business priorities.
• Translate market insight, customer feedback and performance data into clear commercial recommendations.
• Support pricing, profitability, portfolio optimisation and investment decisions.

Forecasting, S&OP and supply chain partnership

• Own and continuously improve portfolio forecasts, working with Sales, Finance, Demand Planning and Supply Chain.
• Play an active role in S&OP, ensuring assumptions are robust, transparent and grounded in market realities.
• Monitor inventory, stock requirements, product availability and supply risks, taking early action where required.
• Lead the commercial response to supply constraints, shortages, product changes and other operational issues.
• Ensure portfolio plans reflect manufacturing, supply and operational capacity.

Product and portfolio lifecycle management

• Manage products and SKUs through all stages of the lifecycle, from evaluation and launch through optimisation, rationalisation and discontinuation.
• Identify portfolio gaps, duplication, risks and opportunities, and develop evidence-based recommendations.
• Coordinate commercial, regulatory, supply, device and customer considerations across relevant stakeholders.
• Support regional and global discussions on new products, range changes and lifecycle decisions.

Launch readiness and execution

• Lead commercial readiness for new products, line extensions, range changes and lifecycle events.
• Build robust launch plans covering forecasts, pricing, margin, stock, customer needs, sales readiness and success measures.
• Coordinate cross-functional delivery and resolve issues that could affect launch quality or timing.
• Monitor post-launch performance and act quickly when results or operational delivery differ from plan.

Customer and market understanding

• Build a strong understanding of Enteral Nutrition markets, customer needs, clinical pathways, procurement dynamics and competitor activity.
• Engage with customers and relevant external stakeholders to keep decisions grounded in real-world needs.
• Work with Sales and Scientific Affairs to convert customer and clinical insight into practical portfolio actions.
• Represent Fresenius Kabi at relevant customer meetings, industry events and conferences.

Cross-functional and team leadership

• Build trusted working relationships across Sales, Finance, Supply Chain, Regulatory, Scientific Affairs, Homecare and regional and global teams.
• Influence decisions and create momentum without relying on formal authority.
• Coach and support colleagues through expertise, constructive challenge and practical knowledge sharing.
• Bring clarity to complex issues, with clear options, recommendations, owners and next steps.
• Contribute to continuous improvement across product management practices, tools and ways of working.

Qualifications

Desirable experience

• Healthcare, medical nutrition, pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostics, consumer healthcare, OTC or medical consumables experience.
• Enteral Nutrition, Oral Nutritional Supplements, tube feeding, dysphagia, clinical nutrition or related portfolio experience.
• Experience working with healthcare professionals, clinical stakeholders, procurement teams, commissioners or key opinion leaders.
• Familiarity with the ABPI Code, BSNA Code or comparable industry codes and governance frameworks.
• Experience working across local, regional and global organisations.

What Success Looks Like

• You rapidly build a strong understanding of Enteral Nutrition, Fresenius Kabi processes and the local and regional stakeholder network.
• Forecasting, S&OP inputs, supply chain collaboration and responses to portfolio queries become more robust, timely and self-sufficient.
• You raise the quality of commercial product management through coaching, constructive challenge and practical support to colleagues.
• You demonstrate the curiosity and openness to learn how Fresenius Kabi works, while bringing relevant external experience and fresh thinking.
