About the role
Trystar is seeking an Offering Manager – IOI to lead our new offering development agenda. This role will identify market opportunities, validate them, and ensure Trystar’s innovation investment is aligned with customer needs and achievable returns.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain a disciplined pipeline of new offering opportunities, prioritized by market size, strategic fit, competitive differentiation, and feasibility within Trystar’s capability base.
- Develop investment-grade business cases — market validation, customer evidence, competitive landscape, financial modeling, and build/partner/buy analysis — that drive confident go/no-go decisions.
- Own the stage-gate framework that advances programs from concept to pilot to commercial launch, ensuring appropriate validation at each stage and clear accountability for outcomes.
- Define the readiness requirements for new solutions transitioning to OM-Commercial/Demand ownership, ensuring positioning, pricing inputs, and sales enablement are in place before launch.
Qualifications
- 7+ years of experience in product management, innovation management, new business development, or offering development in a B2B industrial, electrical, or technology-intensive business.
- Demonstrated track record of identifying, validating, and commercializing new solution offerings that generated measurable revenue impact.
- Strong market research and customer discovery skills — able to conduct VOC, synthesize qualitative and quantitative data, and build investment-grade business cases from primary research.
- Experience with agile, scrum, stage-gate or phase-gate new offering development processes with accountability for program governance and cross-functional coordination.
- Financial modeling capability — market sizing, P&L projection, and investment return analyses that withstand executive scrutiny.
- Comfort operating under significant ambiguity where neither the problem nor the solution is fully defined — requiring intellectual resilience and fast, iterative thinking.
- Proven ability to integrate AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot) into core workflows — research, modeling, communications, synthesis — with demonstrated examples of how AI accelerated output quality or speed.
Preferred skills
- Experience in electrical power systems, energy transition, industrial automation, or adjacent technology-intensive markets with direct involvement in launching new solution offerings.
- Technical depth in power electronics, digital/software systems, energy storage, or related fields sufficient to engage credibly with RDE and Application Engineering teams.
- Experience evaluating technology acquisition targets or strategic partnerships as inputs to a new offering pipeline.
