Perkin Elmer is seeking an Operations Product Manager - UV to support the ongoing execution of the product portfolio for an assigned analytical instrument product line. This role exists to ensure that the Strategic Product Manager and NPI Product Managers are free to focus on strategy, market development, and new product introduction — by providing dedicated ownership of the day-to-day operational product management work that keeps the existing portfolio running smoothly and competitively.

The Operations Product Manager is a junior-to-mid-career product management role, working under the direction of the Strategic PM or VP Product Line. Their scope is defined and delegated — they are not expected to set portfolio strategy or own roadmap decisions, but they are expected to execute with discipline, elevate intelligently, and develop toward broader product management responsibility over time.

We are offering a hybrid working contract split between home and our offices in High Wycombe.

• Maintain the UV product line's SKU catalogue — adding new configurations, managing change notifications, and retiring discontinued products in coordination with Operations and Supply Chain
• Support UV product lifecycle decisions (introduce, sustain, end-of-life) by preparing the operational analysis that informs the Strategic PM's recommendations to the VP
• Own end-of-life communications and phase-out execution for discontinued products — coordinating inventory rundown, customer notification, and field communication
• Maintain accurate product documentation — specifications, compatibility matrices, regional configuration guides — as the product line evolves through sustaining changes

• Administer and maintain the product line price book — updating pricing in systems, managing price exception tracking, and preparing periodic price review data for the Strategic PM's approval
• Support periodic list price review cycles: gathering competitive pricing data, preparing margin analysis, and coordinating system updates following approved changes
• Process special pricing requests within delegated authority limits; elevate above-threshold requests to the Strategic PM with supporting data

• Serve as the first point of triage for field quality escalations and supply chain issues — gathering information, routing to the appropriate owner (Quality, Manufacturing, Supply Chain), and tracking resolution to closure
• Maintain live escalation tracker for the product line; provide regular status updates to the Strategic PM and VP Product Line
• Coordinate with Operations and Supply Chain on parts availability, lead times, and backlog — communicating timeline impacts to commercial stakeholders

• Support the sales organisation with product configuration guidance, compatibility questions, and order-specific queries that require product management input
• Maintain and update competitive comparison resources, product FAQs, and technical specification sheets as product and competitive information evolves
• Track key product line KPIs — order intake, backlog, inventory, and field feedback — and provide regular reporting to the Strategic PM
• Support NPI launches with operational readiness tasks: SAP setup, price book entry, configuration guide development, and sales team resource publication

• 2–7 years of experience in product management, technical marketing, product operations, or a closely related commercial or operational role within scientific instrumentation, analytical instruments, or laboratory equipment
• Familiarity with product lifecycle management concepts: SKU…
