On-siteMarketing$70k–$80k/yrFull-time

About the role

You'll be the bridge between innovative concepts and market-ready products, working cross-organizationally with Sales, Engineering, and Operations. In your first 6 to 12 months, you'll own the day-to-day work that keeps the product line running. As you grow into the role, you'll take on broader ownership, help evolve PLM from reactive to proactive, and have a clear path into leadership.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the go-to resource for Sales, Engineering, and Operations on product line questions and incoming requests
  • Create new part numbers and schemes for new product families, and keep the part number database current and accessible
  • Build new products and bills of materials in the ERP system, partnering with cross-functional teams
  • Cross-reference competitor solutions to viaPhoton's offerings, and help create spec sheets and product marketing materials
  • Partner with Sales and Engineering on new product development with a big-picture lens on supply chain, packaging, and downstream needs

Requirements

  • Have a bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience (MBA a plus)
  • Prior PLM experience is a plus, but we'll teach you the product
  • Direct customer-facing experience and the ability to build strong internal relationships across Sales, Engineering, and Operations
  • Communicate clearly, translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences, and move work through other teams — this is critical to the role
  • Be a self-starter comfortable with ambiguity, who figures out what's needed and finds the best path to a solution
  • Have technical aptitude and leadership potential — comfortable in product details, ready to grow into a future leader of the PLM function
