SKU & Portfolio Management

• Own the SKU lifecycle end-to-end, including new item setup, active management, rationalization, phase-out, and obsolescence, with clean cutover plans to avoid stranded inventory.
• Analyze performance by SKU and product line — sell-through, velocity, margin, returns, dead stock — and provide quarterly rationalization recommendations.
• Run the product line review cadence: identify gaps against competitive sets, price points, channel requirements, and market trends.
• Build costing, pricing, and gross margin recommendations for new items, and maintain price files and channel-specific price structures.
• Maintain the rolling 24-month product roadmap by channel, aligned to business objectives and the new product development calendar.

Product Information Management

• Own the product master: build and enforce the attribute schema, taxonomy, and naming conventions for every SKU across our lines.
• Serve as the single source of truth for product specifications, certifications, and compliance data, including cULus, ETL, CSA, ENERGY STAR, DLC, Title 20/24 & JA8, damp/wet location ratings, and electrical ratings.
• Manage photometric and technical assets, including IES files, LM-79/LM-80 reports, cut sheets, installation instructions, Revit/BIM files, and dimensional drawings.
• Ensure product data is complete, accurate, and formatted to meet the requirements of downstream channels, including distributor data pools, retail item setup, and e-commerce platforms, providing publishing teams with clean, ready-to-use information.
• Drive data completeness and accuracy as measurable KPIs, with regular reporting and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Partner with IT and Operations on PIM and ERP workflows and act as the business lead for any future PIM or DAM implementation.

Product Marketing & Sales Enablement

• Write the product story: fact sheets, spec sheets, feature/benefit hierarchies, comparison charts, catalog and web copy, packaging copy.
• Translate engineering language into buyer language — for a specifier, a distributor counter person, a big-box merchant, and an online shopper. Each one needs a different version of the same facts.
• Build and deliver product training for internal teams, independent sales reps, and customers — launch decks, knowledge base content, competitive positioning.
• Manage launch communication: timelines, readiness checklists, and launch-readiness coordination to ensure a product is ready to be sold (data, assets, certs, samples, pricing).
• Support Sales and national accounts with product expertise on customer-facing activities, inquiries, and RFQs.
• Act as the product-information advisor to Engineering, Operations, Quality, Customer Care, Technical Support, and Sales.

QUALIFICATION & EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS:

• 3–6 years of experience in product management, product marketing, product data, category management, or merchandising, ideally in a manufacturing, building products, electrical, hardware, or consumer durables environment.
• Demonstrated ownership of large SKU catalogs and structured product data.
• Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups, and working with large data sets.

• Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional environment and manage competing priorities.

PREFERRED SKILLS:

• An engineering background, including a degree or diploma in electrical, mechanical, or industrial engineering, or equivalent hands-on technical experience. The role requires working with photometric reports, drawings, BOMs, and certification documents on a regular basis.
