National Product Manager-Audio
About the role
Why this role exists (and why it is a good one) At Rentex, audio gear goes out show-ready and comes back cared for, and someone has to own that at national scale. The National Product Manager (Audio) is that person. You decide our best product choices, set the standard for how it is QC'd, packed, and repaired, and lead the Audio Product Coordinators who help make it happen every day. You are the audio voice in the room with Sales, Marketing, Operations, and leadership, and the person branches call when a signal path or an RF plan is not behaving. If you like turning a category into a system that just works, and building a team along the way, this is your seat.
Where you fit (reporting and where this goes next) You report to the Director of Innovation and Growth and lead the National Product Coordinators, Audio. This is the step up from the Coordinator role: a Coordinator who has shown real ownership of repairs, inventory readiness, and support is the natural candidate. From here, the path runs toward Sr. Product Manager, earned through results in category strategy, vendor management, capital planning, and team leadership.
