    • Maintain a strong pipeline of potential acquisition targets to support product line and business strategies.  
    • Provide competitive insights and recommendations on pricing, new introductions, specifications, and positioning; stay close to customers and competition.  
    • Drive revenue and margin results through product modifications, cost reductions, margin analysis, forecasting, positioning, pricing strategies, advertising, and promotion.  
    • Manage complete product lifecycle, including development oversight, obsolescence planning, long-term support, and handling of recalls or field issues.  
    • Establish financial goals, forecasts, and performance tracking for the product line.  
    • Partner with sales teams by delivering product/application expertise, trade show support, training, strategic account development, technical consulting, competitive strategies, and feature/benefit summaries.  
    • Lead creation of customized marketing tools (technical catalogues, brochures, sales guides, presentations, articles, press releases, web tools, technical papers) tailored to local market needs.  
    • Represent Powell on industry standard and code committees to influence and stay ahead of regulations.  

    Minimum Qualifications

    • B.S. degree in Business, Engineering, Marketing, or a related field; MBA preferred. 
    • 7+ years of experience in a manufacturing-driven electrical products company.  
    • 3+ years of experience in product management or product marketing in a comparable industry (e.g., power distribution, switchgear, electrical equipment).  
    • 1+ years of experience in new product development and cross-functional team environments.

    • Advanced financial and analytical skills.  
    • Proven ability to influence others and build strong cross-functional relationships.  
    • Exceptional multitasking and attention to detail under multiple priorities.
