You will join a growing business area where you can make a real impact, working closely with experienced colleagues both locally and across the MEKO Group.

Your responsibilities

As Product Manager at FTZ, you will work within MEKO's Commercial Vehicle Division, supporting the development and management of several product groups within Heavy Commercial Vehicles.

Based on sales and profitability objectives, you will collaborate with colleagues to ensure that the right product range, competitive pricing and accurate product information are in place, while maintaining close dialogue with suppliers and internal stakeholders.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Identifying, initiating and supporting projects for the launch of new products.

• Managing product phase-in and phase-out activities.

• Maintaining and administering product information in catalogues and PIM systems.

• Acting as a product expert within your areas and supporting the sales organization with technical knowledge.

• Contributing to the development of an attractive and competitive product offering for customers.

This is a broad, hands-on role combining operational product management with opportunities to contribute to commercial development. You will have regular contact with suppliers, sales teams, product colleagues and logistics functions.

You will work closely with the local Head of Commercial Vehicles and the Group Category Manager, who provides strategic category direction and support. The position does not include personnel management.

Din Profil

Your profile

Your understanding of Heavy Commercial Vehicles and their components is the most important qualification for this position.

We are looking for someone with relevant experience from trucks, trailers, buses or a closely related heavy-duty industry.

• A structured, service-minded and proactive approach to your work.

• An interest in product development, assortment management and commercial opportunities.

• Good communication skills and the ability to collaborate across teams and countries.

• Fluency in English, both spoken and written.

The following qualifications are considered advantages rather than requirements:

• Previous experience as a Product Manager, Product Specialist or Category Manager.

• Experience with Excel, ERP systems such as AX or Enterprise, or Product Information Management (PIM).

• Strong analytical skills and experience working with product or sales data.

• Danish or other Nordic language skills.
