Job Description
PurposePerkinElmer is seeking a Regional Product Manager to support the commercial organization in the EMEA Region and help implement the regional Inorganics strategy. This role coordinates between central product management and the regional sales and marketing teams — providing the product expertise, competitive response capability, and local market intelligence that the field organisation needs to win in customer-facing situations.
The Regional PM is the product line's voice in the field. They are the person a regional sales manager calls when a deal requires deep product knowledge, when a competitor launches a new instrument, or when a key customer wants to understand how the product line meets their specific application needs. They bring the centre's strategic thinking to the region, and the region's market reality back to central product management.
This role will analyze win/loss data, capture critical regional VOC input, facilitate demand creation activities in the region, track regional KPI’s and drive financial performance and actions needed to achieve.
