Job Summary

About the role

We are creating a new Product Manager position to strengthen GRAMs team as part of our ongoing effort to elevate the companys structure and keep growing and innovating in the industrial weighing sector.

This person will take full ownership of our product portfolio and act as the connection point between R&D Marketing Sales and Operations. It is a central role that needs dedicated focus and one of the key additions we are making to the team at this stage of the company.

About our products

GRAM manufactures industrial weighing instruments. Our products combine a significant mechanical component integrated electronics and embedded software all designed for industrial environments. We reach our customers through both direct online sales via our e-commerce platform and through a network of distributors across multiple countries.

This is not a software product role and we are not looking for someone from that background. If your experience is in SaaS Agile ceremonies and user story mapping you will probably find our world unfamiliar. What we need is someone who understands how industrial products are designed manufactured documented and sold and who can speak credibly with engineers as well as with commercial teams.

Tasks

What you will do

You will own our products end to end. Concretely that means:

New product launches. You will run the launch of new products as an end to end project coordinating everything that needs to happen across departments: the product catalogue technical manuals translations into all the languages we sell in publication on our websites launch newsletter entry in the price list packaging definition sales team training and product setup in our ERP. When we launch you are the person responsible for making sure it all lands correctly.

Product updates and new features. When R&D adds a new feature to an existing product or releases an improved version you translate that into what each department needs: the updated materials for marketing the talking points and training for the sales team the specification updates for operations and the revised content for our web presence.

Ongoing product ownership. You will make sure every product in our catalogue has up to date accurate and relevant information across all our channels. Manuals specifications images web content technical documentation. The experience that any customer or distributor has when looking up our products online should be consistent current and useful.

Bringing the market back to R&D. You will collect and synthesise feedback from sales teams distributors and customers and bring that voice into our R&D discussions. Our product direction should be shaped by what the market actually needs and you are the person who makes sure that signal reaches the people who build the products.

Sales team training. You will train our commercial teams on new products new features and the technical detail they need to sell well. You are the technical reference point they turn to when they need to understand how something works.

Requirements

What we are looking for

An engineer or someone with equivalent technical formation and the mindset that goes with it. Our products are mechanical electronic and software integrated and you need to genuinely understand what is inside them to represent them well to the rest of the business.

Beyond the technical background the person we hire needs to have a proactive doer mentality. This is not a role with everything set up and waiting for someone to execute. It needs to be shaped by whoever takes it on and the beginning will not be easy. We are looking for someone with the energy and drive to define how product management works at GRAM build the processes that are missing and push things forward without waiting for instructions.

Concretely the person we hire should:

  1. Enjoy working across multiple departments and be comfortable with the administrative and coordination side of product work which is a large part of the role.
  2. Translate well between engineers salespeople marketers and operations people each of whom has a different language and different priorities.
  3. Be organised and reliable. Much of this work is about making sure many parallel tasks land on time and in coordination with each other.
  4. Communicate clearly in English and in Spanish. Catalan is a plus.
  5. Have experience with industrial or B2B technical products in companies that sell both directly and through distribution networks.

We are less interested in formal Product Management certifications than in evidence that you have done this kind of work well in a real company with real products.

Benefits

What we offer

A role with genuine impact at a company going through a serious transformation. You will report directly to the CEO and work closely with the heads of R&D Marketing Sales and Operations. Your decisions will shape how our products reach the market and how our product range evolves over time.

Competitive compensation and a working environment that values direct communication and genuine ownership. We are a company in motion not a bureaucracy and the person who takes this role will have real space to define how product management works at GRAM.
