• Develop business cases and pricing strategies across markets with a focus on profitability and competitive positioning.
• Create clear value propositions, key messaging and product positioning for commercial use.
• Develop and ensure high‑quality product documentation (manuals, IFUs, quick guides, troubleshooting) together with relevant functions and contribute hands‑on when needed.
• Train Marketing and Sales globally to ensure teams are confident in product knowledge, applications and messaging.
• Lead commercial readiness and rollout planning for a competitive new product introduction.
• Collaborate with Product Planning and Commercial teams on forecasting and demand planning; support Operations to ensure product availability.
• Work cross‑functionally to ensure alignment, strong launches and consistent global execution.

• Advanced degree within Life Sciences (e.g., biology, microbiology, biotechnology, immunology, molecular biology or similar).
• 7+ years of Product Management experience within the IVD industry, preferably with a focus on infectious diseases.
• Proven track record with global portfolio and product strategy, LCM and NPD.
• Strong analytical capabilities and sound decision‑making, you work data‑driven and business‑oriented.
• Clear, effective communication and strong stakeholder management skills across functions and time zones.
• You thrive in a broad role where you both set the direction and execute hands‑on.

You will take global responsibility for a strategically important portfolio in a smaller, international organization with approx. 600 employees, short decision lines and high scientific expertise.
