• Shape range architecture, line planning, lifecycle management and channel segmentation across the global product portfolio.
• Identify new category, market and product opportunities that can drive commercial growth.
• Partner with Design, Innovation and Development to bring new materials, technologies and product concepts to market.
• Work closely with Merchandising, Marketing, Sales and Operations to ensure strong alignment across seasonal strategies and global launches.
• Lead, coach and develop the Product team, creating a high-performing culture built around clarity, curiosity and collaboration.
• Continuously improve product processes, tools and ways of working to support faster, sharper and more effective decision-making.

What you'll bring:

• Significant senior-level product management experience within outdoor, sportswear, performance apparel, technical equipment or a related consumer category.
• A strong track record of developing and delivering product strategy and leading seasonal product creation.
• Strong commercial and analytical capability, with the ability to balance consumer needs, technical performance and business objectives.
• Deep understanding of consumer insight, market trends, competitive dynamics and product lifecycle management.
• Experience partnering closely with Design, Innovation and Development teams to bring products from concept through to market.
