In parallel, you will lead lifecycle management of the existing portfolio, with a strong focus on securing sustainable growth, profitability, and competitiveness through clear positioning, pricing strategies, and portfolio optimization across regions.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Own the portfolio strategy, performance and roadmap—and prioritize initiatives with the greatest business impact.

• Gather and translate market and customer insights as well as competitive intelligence into clear decisions and priorities.

• Lead LCM from launch to phase‑out; ensure updates, optimizations through product care, and wins in the existing business.

• Develop business cases and pricing strategies across markets with a focus on profitability and competitive positioning.

• Create clear value propositions, key messaging and product positioning for commercial use.

• Develop and ensure high‑quality product documentation (manuals, IFUs, quick guides, troubleshooting) together with relevant functions—and contribute hands‑on when needed.

• Train Marketing and Sales globally to ensure teams are confident in product knowledge, applications and messaging.

• Collaborate with Product Planning and Commercial teams on forecasting and demand planning; support Operations to ensure product availability.

• Work cross‑functionally to ensure alignment, strong launches and consistent global execution.

What You Bring

• Advanced degree within Life Sciences (e.g. biology, microbiology, biotechnology, immunology or similar).

• 7+ years of Product Management experience within IVD, preferably with a focus on infectious diseases/respiratory diagnostics.

• Proven track record with global portfolio and product strategy, LCM and NPD.

• Strong analytical skills and sound decision‑making—you work data‑driven and business oriented.

• Clear, effective communication and strong stakeholder management skills across functions and time zones.

• You thrive in a broad role where you both set the direction and execute hands‑on.
