Technical product manager

• drive and continuously improve the full product lifecycle of your product group


• translate strategy into concrete technical decisions and development projects


• connect teams and stakeholders as the technical lead and set direction

As a Technical product manager at Quooker, you take the lead in developing and improving the Reservoirs product group; the heart of our boiling water systems. You decide what is needed to improve products in terms of quality, manufacturability, and cost efficiency, or when products should be phased out. You make sure those improvements are successfully delivered.

You translate strategy into clear technical objectives and actionable assignments for development teams. By identifying opportunities and bottlenecks at an early stage, you provide direction through impact analyses and well\-founded prioritization. You define and prioritize product changes and development initiatives, ensuring clear requirements, aligned decision\-making, and a consistent focus on customer value throughout the process. At the same time, you translate product and project demands into realistic capacity requirements.

Within your product group, you maintain a complete overview of all ongoing changes and understand their implications for design, the supply chain, planning and capacity. You bring structure to complex situations, make well\-considered decisions and set clear priorities. This enables you to constantly strike a balance between innovation, reliability and manufacturability.

Working closely with R\&D teams such as Systems, Electronics and Mechanics, you collaborate effortlessly with both internal and external stakeholders. You ensure that everyone has access to the correct technical information and naturally become the recognized expert within your area of expertise.
