Descripción del empleo

GWBD Operations manufactures top quality plumbing products for the residential & commercial building industries in the USA under three heritage brands — PRIER Products (frost-proof wall/ground hydrants, sill faucets, hose bibs, boiler drains, lead-free plumbing brass, est. 1881), Stern-Williams (terrazzo mop sinks, drinking fountains, shower towers, est. 1962), and FIAT Products (mop service basins, shower floors, laundry tubs, commercial faucets, est. 1919) — sold through multiple channels including retail, wholesale distributors, mechanical/plumbing contractors, and institutional end-users.

We’re hiring a seasoned Senior Product Manager to own portfolios across our brands — driving the strategy, roadmap, and P&L that keep GWBD’s products specified, stocked, and in the ground for another century. Success looks like faster time-to-market, stronger new-product ROI, and roadmaps the whole business can rally behind.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

• Category management and full P&L accountability for assigned product portfolios — pricing, margin, and portfolio rationalization.
• Market intelligence and Voice of the Customer processes that turn distributor, rep, contractor, plumber and engineer input into actionable insight.
• Product strategy and multi-year roadmap development aligned to channel and end-user demand.
• NPD pipeline development and execution end-to-end, with a sustained focus on Vitality Index (% of sales from recent new products).
• Business case development — market sizing, ROI, and investment justification — for new products and platform extensions.
• Input to Long Range Planning (LRP) and the Annual Operating Plan (AOP), partnering with Sales, Marketing, Engineering, Quality, and Operations.
• End-to-end launch leadership — rallying R&D, Manufacturing, Purchasing, Marketing, and Sales around a shared plan, then tracking performance against targets and driving course corrections when results fall short.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Minimum 7 years of product management experience, with a track record of owning P&L and product strategy.
• Technical or engineering background strongly preferred; manufacturing-sector experience required, plumbing/building-products industry a plus.
• Demonstrated success building and executing NPD pipelines and improving Vitality Index performance in a Stage-Gate or similar process.
• Skilled in market research, VOC methodologies, and translating insight into product requirements and business cases.
• Experience contributing to Long Range Planning and Annual Operating Planning cycles.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, Marketing, or a related field; MBA and proficiency with ERP/CRM tools such as Plex or Salesforce preferred.
• Strong cross-functional leadership, negotiation, and communication skills; a curious, detail-oriented, adaptable team player who thrives on multiple concurrent projects.
• Willing to work full-time on-site in Grandview, MO, with travel up to 30% to visit customers, reps, trade shows, and manufacturing facilities.
• Authorized to work in the United States.
