46557# Position Purpose Own the end-to-end strategy, roadmap, and performance of private brand roofing and adjacent building products.

* Launch 3–5 new/renovated private brand SKUs in roofing under Top Shield (or successor brands) with targeted gross margin uplift of 200–300 bps.
* Improve SKU productivity: rationalize bottom-quartile items; achieve ≥15% YoY revenue growth in prioritized categories.
* Establish supplier scorecards and dual-sourcing strategies that reduce COGS variance by ≥5% while maintaining quality.
* Implement data-driven price ladders and value tiers that increase win rate versus national brands, documented via quarterly business reviews.# # Core Responsibilities## Product Strategy & Portfolio Management
* Define category strategies for roofing membranes, underlayments, sealants, fasteners, and accessories; set clear roles-of-line (good/better/best).
* Own product roadmaps, business cases, and stage-gate deliverables from concept through commercialization.
* Run quarterly line reviews: SKU rationalization, lifecycle stage decisions, and margin mix optimization.## Commercialization & Pricing
* Develop price architecture, pack/size strategy, and channel-specific assortments; partner with Sales on launch playbooks.
* Plan and execute new product launches (NPI) including positioning, claims, and merchandising assets; measure post-launch success (sell-in/sell-through).
* Lead cross-functional S&OP inputs: demand planning assumptions, cannibalization, and promo calendars.## Supplier & Quality Leadership
* Select and negotiate with manufacturers; drive total cost, terms, and service-level agreements.
* Partner with Quality to define specifications, first-article approvals, and ongoing performance monitoring.
* Maintain continuity plans (dual-source/backup tooling); manage cost engineering and VA/VE initiatives.## Insights & Analytics (Product Performance)
* Use advanced Excel/BI to analyze contribution margins, price elasticity, and market share; translate insights into actions.
* Create competitive benchmarking vs. national brands; refresh claims and packaging to strengthen differentiation.
* Publish monthly KPI pack: revenue, GM%, mix, on-time launch, supplier OTIF, warranty trendlines.## Governance & Compliance
* Ensure SDS availability and accuracy and coordinate code/standards approvals in partnership with Technical Services (supporting, not owning).
* Support warranty policy definition; track field feedback to drive corrective actions and product updates.# Role Differentiators vs. Technical Services & Analytics
* P&L and portfolio ownership (GM%, mix, productivity) rather than primarily training/events or case-by-case technical support.
* Strategic supplier selection and contract negotiation vs. transactional warranty processing.
* Market-backed innovation and commercialization leading launches vs. primarily monitoring code submissions and renewals.
* Price architecture and merchandising leadership vs. regional sales enablement ownership.#

* 3–5+ years in product management for building products; direct experience in roofing materials (membranes, underlayments, sealants, or fasteners).
