Do you want to influence the direction of a product portfolio used in some of the world's most demanding industries? At Øglænd System, we are looking for a commercially driven and strategically minded Global Product Manager to lead the long-term development of our Support Systems portfolio.

In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring that the portfolio remains competitive, profitable, and aligned with customer and market needs. As the commercial owner of the portfolio, you will work closely with Market Organizations, Local Product Managers, Engineering, R&D, Technical Marketing, and other key stakeholders to identify opportunities, prioritize investments, and drive portfolio improvements. You will balance customer value, market demand, and technical feasibility to ensure the portfolio remains relevant and competitive across global markets.

This is a role for someone who enjoys connecting customer needs, technical capabilities, and business priorities while creating long-term value for customers and the business.

Key Responsibilities and Impact

Translate customer needs, market opportunities, and business objectives into clear portfolio priorities, business cases, and roadmap decisions.

Continuously improve portfolio performance through lifecycle management, maintenance initiatives, launches, and structured phase-outs.

Partner closely with Market Organizations and Local Product Managers to ensure portfolio decisions are market-driven and commercially sound.

Act as the commercial voice of the portfolio across development, sales enablement, and go-to-market activities.

What Makes You a Great Fit

We think you are someone who combines technical expertise with commercial drive and who enjoys connecting customer needs, engineering capabilities, and business priorities. You are curious, structured, and confident working across functions, cultures, and markets. You bring ownership, sound judgement, and the ability to create clarity in complex situations.

You are equally comfortable discussing technical solutions with engineers, market opportunities with sales teams, and portfolio priorities with senior stakeholders. Most importantly, you are motivated by developing products and solutions that create long-term value for customers and the business.

What you need to bring

Experience in a commercially oriented role such as Product Management, Portfolio Management, Business Development, Technical Sales, or Technical Marketing.

The ability to combine technical expertise with commercial judgement to drive portfolio decisions and create customer value.

Strong business acumen and analytical skills.

Experience working across technical and commercial functions in an international environment.

Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

We are looking for candidates with both technical and commercial experience. While a relevant engineering degree is strongly preferred, significant relevant experience may compensate for formal education.

At Øglænd System, you will join an international organization with strong engineering heritage, market-leading solutions, and ambitious growth plans. You will have the opportunity to influence the future of a strategically important product portfolio, collaborate with colleagues across the globe, and help shape solutions that enable some of the world's largest energy, infrastructure, marine, and industrial projects.
