Senior Product Manager – Technical Building Products

Overview

Senior Product Manager – Technical Building Products. Our client is a privately owned, international manufacturer in the construction sector, recognised for its technical systems and strong commitment to sustainability. The group operates across multiple continents with several thousand employees and has been growing rapidly, underpinned by significant investment in R&D, new production facilities and a clear ESG agenda.

The business is transitioning to a regionally driven structure. A new regional leadership team is in place and has been tasked with professionalising operations, strengthening service levels and tripling regional revenues over the next few years, including expanding into new customer channels and preparing for substantial new manufacturing and logistics capacity.

As part of this transformation, the Senior Product Manager will take full ownership of a strategically important portfolio of technically complex construction materials.

Responsibilities include:

• Define and execute the product vision and roadmap for the regional product system.
• Lead development, optimisation, and launch projects using the group’s formal frameworks.
• Collaborate with R&D, technical, operations, and sales teams to ensure products meet or exceed performance, quality, and regulatory requirements.
• Raise technical standards, tighten compliance, and implement a market-led approach to product strategy and lifecycle management.

The role combines strategic product management, hands-on product marketing and cross-functional project leadership, reporting to the UK Marketing leader.

We are looking for a commercially sharp, technically credible product leader from within the building materials ecosystem, with deep experience of system-based products, strong cross-functional influence and a track record of driving category performance in demanding markets. The successful candidate will be comfortable in a changing environment, capable of stabilising and then scaling a critical product area, and supporting the development of a marketing leadership team.

Preferred background includes experience with manufacturers in one of the following technical building products categories: cementitious products, paint & coatings, adhesives & sealants, flooring systems and preparation, or ceramics. Other relevant experience in technical building products/systems will also be considered.

Candidates will ideally live in the North West or the West Midlands for easy access to an office.
