Position Overview
This Product Line Management Manager role sits at the point where portfolio strategy, supply, and profit meet. You will manage the product life cycle and optimise SKUs — rationalising the portfolio without commoditising it, phasing out non-strategic and lower-margin products, and putting controls in place so similar new SKUs do not multiply. You will monitor quality and service, resolve issues quickly, and build contingency plans for key product lines in case of source disruption. At constrained assets, you work with Product Leaders and Global Supply Chain to allocate product for the best global profitability while weighing long-term customer and strategic impact. You will lead end-to-end source changes and manufacturing transfers affecting APAC, from assessment through product qualification, customer transition, and full commercialisation, and recommend sourcing and asset utilisation improvements that raise profit, ROIC, and profit velocity, lower product costs, and improve cash flow. You will also track competitors’ operations, capabilities, cost position, and go-to-market strategies, and support capital planning so future growth is not limited by supply. The role has no direct reports and calls for strong analysis with Power BI and similar tools.
