The Role

Together we are transforming how lasting affordable shelter is created for people globally. The NA Thermal portfolio is a significant part of the Shelter Solutions business. It includes the Styrofoam™ extruded polystyrene (XPS), Betafuse™ structural adhesive, Thermax™ and Tuff-R Polyisocyanurate (ISO) insulation, and ArmorWall™ Structural Insulated Sheathing product lines.​​

The NA Thermal Product Manager is responsible for managing the profitability and full lifecycle of a $400MM+ product portfolio with seven plants across the United States and Canada and several contract manufacturers. This Thermal Product Manager is responsible for maintaining the health of the Thermal Portfolio to ultimately drive long-term growth and profitability. The individual is directly responsible for the Styrofoam™ and Betafuse™ product lines and manages a Product Manager dedicated to ArmorWall™ and ISO.

This individual will report directly to the Shelter Solutions Global Product Director. However, success will depend most on working closely with functional leaders across the business to drive alignment across commercial, technical, and operational functions.

The Product Manager is responsible for ensuring the long-term health of the portfolio which ultimately puts the business in position to deliver consistent top-line growth while hitting profitability targets. The value the Product Manager brings to the role is directly related to how informed and aligned the team around the product manager is. In other words, success in this role is directly correlated with the leader’s ability to influence. The tools available to the Thermal Product Manager include but are not limited to:

In all stages of the development cycle and post-launch, the Product Manager plays a key role in aligning internal functions for each stage gate review and is ultimately responsible for ensuring new products move the portfolio forward in a strategically-aligned way.

• Maintaining an informed view of the competitive landscape. Insights into competition come in through every function. It is the Product Manager’s role to drive discipline in understanding how our competitors are approaching the market, how industry capacity is forecasted to change over the next few years. Armed with visibility into current and future gaps in the product portfolio, the Product Manager drives the organization to improve our competitive position.

• Stepping in to coordinating large-scope projects or challenging supply situations when cross-functional approaches are critical to success .
