Product Manager Hardware

Our client is a European medtech scale-up. Their device is sitting on people's kitchen counters and helps thousands stay in their own home longer by dispensing the right medication at the right time. As Device Product Manager, you own its future.

This is not a backlog role. You define the product strategy. You own the end-to-end roadmap for hardware and firmware. You decide which features ship, which markets to enter next, and how to transition between product generations without losing customer trust. You influence, without managing, R&D, QARA, Cloud Product Management, Commercial, Operations, Finance and Customer Support.

You report to the Head of Device Product Management and work closely with the R&D Product Development team in the Netherlands.

Key responsibilities

•       End-to-end strategy and 24-month roadmap for the device's hardware and firmware portfolio.

•       The full lifecycle — from concept to launch through end-of-life — including generational transitions where customer trust, revenue and cost efficiency collide.

•       Expansion into new target markets, grounded in user needs.

•       Product performance: NPS, usability, field reliability, gross margin, and the device's contribution to company profitability.

•       Stakeholder alignment across seven internal functions, plus customers, suppliers and development partners.

Who you are

•       5+ years in hardware or device product management, with at least one product led from concept to launch.

•       Medical device experience, you treat regulatory frameworks (MDR, ISO 13485, IEC 62304) as a design parameter, not an obstacle.

•       Proven track record managing products through end-of-life, transition, or generational change. This is not a greenfield-only role.

•       Strong influence-without-authority skills across R&D, Quality, Commercial and Finance.

•       Data-driven decision-making, with the ability to balance qualitative and quantitative evidence.

•       Bachelor's or Master's in Engineering, Business, or related field.

Beyond the CV

High accountability, broad scope, nine measurable KPIs that will sometimes push against each other. No hidden layers of authority. In return: ownership of a device that matters, in a company small enough that your decisions compound quickly, and large enough that the product is already in the hands of the people it was built for.
