The product/portfolio management team has strong focus on effectively defining and sustaining so-called blueprint solutions for the different market segments. This team owns the E2E solution, with focus on lifecycle support of all key building blocks of the solution: OLTs, ONTs and management solutions. All this in close cooperation with the respective PLM teams for these building blocks.

Are you passionate about creating best-in-class innovative solutions for the growing Campus LAN market and Data Center market, based on our strengths in PON technology? And do you like to work with our customers and partners in this space to jointly work the best-possible introduction scenarios with them? As part of the Market Development team, you will:

• Work closely with our partners, customers and (pre)sales teams to define and help develop the best possible end-to-end solution. With strong focus on supporting the “right” management solution for each segment: understand market requirements and translate them into product requirements.

• Closely cooperate with the FN PLM and R&D teams to come to a solutions roadmap, including proper handling of priorities and segmentation.

We are looking for a team player with business acumen and with good product/technical background, who will work closely together with peer (R&D and PLM) groups across different functional teams. You can conceptualize the big picture as well as dive into product details to deliver qualitative output.

You will pro-actively discuss with new and existing customers on their required management solution(s) and use this information to drive the (Enterprise) product roadmap.
