Senior Product Manager - Security & Environmental Sensing
INFICON is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the strategy, discovery, and delivery of our Security and Environmental Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC‑MS) products—solutions that protect people, infrastructure, and the environment worldwide.
This role is designed for a product leader who thrives in a product operating model: someone who owns outcomes, partners deeply with customers and cross‑functional teams, and drives products from problem discovery through scalable, commercially successful solutions.
You will have end‑to‑end ownership of the product lifecycle, from setting product vision and strategy to validating customer value, driving adoption, and ensuring long‑term sustainability. You’ll work closely with engineering, applications, sales, operations, and external partners to solve some of the world’s most critical sensing and security challenges.
What You’ll Do
Own Product Strategy & Outcomes
- Define and evolve a clear product vision, strategy, and roadmap aligned to INFICON’s market attack plans and long‑term growth objectives
- Own business outcomes, including customer value, market adoption, and commercial performance
- Balance near‑term execution with long‑term platform thinking
Lead Customer‑Centered Discovery
- Engage directly with global customers and field teams to uncover unmet needs, validate problems, and test value hypotheses
- Apply design thinking and lean startup principles to evaluate new technologies, markets, and use cases
- Ensure product decisions are grounded in real customer insights—not assumptions
Partner to Build the Right Solutions
- Work closely with engineering and applications teams to translate customer problems into scalable, high‑impact product capabilities
- Maintain tight alignment between technical feasibility, market need, and business viability
- Champion agile product development with a strong bias toward learning, iteration, and continuous improvement
Drive Product Delivery & Lifecycle Management
- Own and communicate product roadmaps, tradeoffs, and sequencing decisions
- Lead cross‑functional teams through launches, lifecycle transitions, and product evolution
- Resolve internal and external product escalations with a focus on customer outcomes
Enable Commercial Success
- Shape market positioning and value propositions in partnership with marketing and sales
- Negotiate and manage commercial and legal agreements with technical partners and key stakeholders
- Support field teams with clarity on product intent, differentiation, and customer value
Measure What Matters
- Define and track product success metrics that reflect customer value and business performance
- Regularly communicate insights, learnings, and results to senior leadership
- Use data to inform decisions, prioritize investments, and course‑correct quickly
What We’re Looking For
- A senior‑level Product Manager with experience owning complex, technically sophisticated products
- Comfortable operating in ambiguous, dynamic environments with true end‑to‑end accountability
- Fluent in modern product practices (discovery, experimentation, agile delivery, outcome‑based roadmapping)
- Strong collaborator who can influence across engineering, sales, applications, operations, and leadership
- Experienced engaging directly with customers and translating insight into differentiated products
- Able to balance customer value, technical constraints, and commercial realities
