THE ROLE Reporting to the Senior Product Growth Manager (Wound) - Ostomy, this exciting role offers the opportunity to help shape the future of wound care products within Eakin's Global Ostomy & Wound business. As our Product Executive (Wound Care), you'll play an important part in bringing innovative products to market and enhancing existing solutions that make a meaningful difference to users' lives.

While you'll be part of the wider Ostomy team, your primary focus will be on our wound care portfolio. You'll gain exposure to the full product lifecycle, supporting products from initial concept and New Product Introduction (NPI) through to market launch, ongoing portfolio management, and end-of-life planning. Working closely with colleagues across Product, Insights, Commercial, and Operational teams, you'll help ensure our product offering remains both commercially successful and focused on user needs.

A key aspect of the role is acting as the voice of the user within the business. You'll gather, analyse, and interpret customer and user feedback, working alongside Product Managers and Insights colleagues to translate these insights into product improvements and future innovation opportunities. Your contributions will help shape product requirements and influence the development of new solutions that deliver real value to our users.

This role would suit someone who is naturally curious, customer-focused, and passionate about understanding user needs. You'll have the opportunity to collaborate with a range of stakeholders, influence decision-making, and help foster a culture where user insights are at the heart of product development, communication, and proposition design. If you're looking for a role where you can combine analytical thinking, collaboration, and creativity while contributing to products that positively impact people's lives, we'd love to hear from you.
