Job Description Purpose Perkin Elmer  is seeking an NPI Product Manager to serve as the dedicated commercial lead across the ICP-OES product line's active New Product Introduction programs, prioritized by the Strategic Product Director. This is a purpose-built role with one clear mandate: ensure that new analytical instruments arrive in market fully commercially ready — with the pricing, positioning, training, launch plan, and commercial tools that allow each to ramp revenue quickly and establish a durable market position.

The NPI PM owns commercial readiness from development program initiation through post-launch ramp. They work in close partnership with R&D, Applications Science, Marketing, and the field commercial organization — but they are not embedded in R&D. Their job is to represent the market and the customer in every program decision: challenging technical choices that create commercial risk, driving VOC to sharpen positioning, and ensuring the launch plan reflects what is actually needed to win — not just what is convenient to deliver.

This role requires deep program discipline, commercial instinct, and the interpersonal credibility to lead cross-functional teams without formal authority. The NPI PM must be comfortable operating in ambiguity, making evidence-based decisions under time pressure, and holding a high bar for commercial readiness even when program timelines create pressure to compromise.

Location:

Hybrid remote out of our Shelton, CT office with 1-2 days being available to work remotely, depending on the needs of the business.

Responsibilities Commercial Readiness Ownership
· Own the commercial readiness workstream for each assigned NPI program — defining what 'launch-ready' means commercially and driving the organization to achieve it

· Set and own launch pricing — building the pricing model from market research, customer willingness-to-pay data, competitive benchmarking, and lifecycle revenue objectives; developed in partnership with the Strategic Product Director and approved by the VP of Atomic Spectroscopy
· Define and track commercial readiness gate criteria for each NPI stage gate — ensuring commercial preparation keeps pace with technical development and that the launch team never arrives at gate approval without a complete commercial plan Market Requirements & Product Definition
· Own the Market Requirements Document (MRD) for each assigned NPI — working with the Strategic Segment Manager and conducting independent VOC to ensure requirements are grounded in customer evidence, not internal assumption
· Translate MRD requirements into a clear Product Requirements Document (PRD) that R&D can act on — making explicit priority trade-offs between must-have and nice-to-have requirements
· Serve as the primary commercial interface to the R&D program team — attending technical reviews, raising commercial risk flags early, and negotiating…
