Fisher & Paykel is an iconic New Zealand brand, a global company with a strong local heritage. Our origins inspire our culture of curiosity and passion to develop solutions designed around people – these are some of the core elements that make us unique. We are driven by our values of being trusted, sustainably minded, innovative, generous and curious. As a team we take a collaborative approach and have a working environment where all ideas are heard, evaluated and tested against our leading goal - to be the world's most human-centred appliance brand. Fisher & Paykel Appliances design, manufacture, and market a full range of domestic appliances around the world. We are a global company built on a heritage of innovation and pioneering spirit that has seen us consistently deliver products tailored to our customer's needs since 1934.
The Role Our Global Product Managers help drive the strategic direction and profitable growth of our various product portfolios. You will develop a deep understanding of the global competitive landscape and use your innate ability to take hard and soft data from multiple sources and turn it into genuine insights. You'll also work closely with Chief Engineers, Industrial Designers, our regional teams and General Manager of your Product Line to ensure the relevant product portfolio is consistent with the business strategy and goals for Fisher & Paykel Appliances.
This is a product focused role that needs someone who can establish and maintain strong links between the Product Development teams and our global sales and marketing teams. As part of the central Product Management team, you will liaise with our regional Product Management and Marketing teams to assist them with thorough understanding of products, as well as leading new product introductions to ensure we deliver a positive and timely impact in the market.
So that's the role? Who are you? We are looking for someone who is not only passionate about products but has the ability to influence and lead across the business to ensure their commercial success. You will have experience dealing with multiple stakeholders to help compile business cases and briefs and to execute on agreed plans. You are also comfortable operating in situations where there is some level of ambiguity and will inherently know how to extract and analyse information, and concisely present back to all relevant stakeholders. In time you'll be seen as a trusted category expert, taking our vision and goals and understanding the role you need to play within that, and proactively create excitement to lever influence within the business to deliver great outcomes.
You'll thrive in a hands-on environment and will be great at influencing stakeholders across the business and throughout the product life cycle with great work, sound reasoning, and your natural collaborative style. On the technical side, you may have a bachelor's degree in business or another field.
You are likely to have previous working experience in Product Management, Marketing or even in a product development role, but don't let us pigeon-hole you. A key component of what you have to offer is that you've got a genuine interest in the business and a passion for our product offering. Finally, while a certain level of aptitude is important to us, the right attitude is crucial.
What we offer We can give you the rare opportunity to move into a large, complex global organisation headquartered in NZ. This role has diverse and exciting challenges and the chance to continually learn and develop.
Along with a competitive salary, flexible working, ongoing development, our leading Whanau/Family Leave policy and excellent growth and progression opportunities, as a valued member of our team you'll enjoy generous discounts on Fisher & Paykel and Haier products, life & disability insurance, discounted medical cover, access to our superannuation scheme, our subsidised staff café, and free car parking when you are on-site.
All this, coupled with great leadership and backed by a world leading heritage brand that is consistently ranked as one of New Zealand's most Trusted Brands… year after year.

If you believe that you have the skills, ability and desire to influence and lead across the business, then we want to hear from you! From the grandest of ideas to the smallest of details, every day we're turning our passion into performance and improving life through good design.
