[Hiring] Portfolio Manager @Fictiv

Role Description

CNC is the largest business in MISUMI Americas’ custom manufacturing portfolio, and turning is one of its fastest-growing processes. The Portfolio Manager, Lathe / Turning owns the business development and growth strategy for Fictiv’s turning offering — CNC lathe production turning and Swiss-type (sliding-headstock) machining — within the broader CNC line of business. This role is accountable for turning current momentum into a scaled, profitable line of business: finding and winning new turning demand, shaping how we position and sell turned parts, and following production programs through to on-time delivery. Success means profitable growth in turning bookings and margin, a stronger pipeline of turning production programs, and close, flexible collaboration across Sales, Marketing, Solution Engineering, Program Management, and regional teams — this is a highly cross-functional role, not a formal chain-of-command one.

Areas of Responsibility

• Own the business development strategy and growth plan for the lathe/turning line of business, setting bookings and transaction-margin targets aligned to the CNC organization’s growth goals.
• Identify and pursue new turning demand — prototype through production — partnering with Sales and Marketing to target the customer segments where turning growth is concentrated (Product Innovation accounts, Machine Builders, and MRO).
• Use demand, quoting, and win/loss data to find where turning is under-served, mis-positioned, or losing to competitors, and turn those findings into concrete growth actions.
• Serve as the internal subject-matter reference for turning and Swiss-type machining (DFM, tolerancing, workholding, threading, secondary operations, material machinability).
• Support production-turning pursuits end to end: scope requirements, validate feasibility, and track production programs against their schedules.
• Establish and report turning metrics (bookings growth, transaction margin, quote-to-order conversion, autoquote coverage, on-time delivery).
• Work in a highly collaborative, flexible team structure, without relying on formal reporting lines, to move quickly on opportunities.
• All employees are expected to maintain and contribute to the QMS.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial), Operations Management, or related field — or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 5+ years of experience in CNC turning, with meaningful exposure to business development, commercial strategy, or growth ownership.
• Direct working knowledge of CNC lathe and Swiss-type turning technologies.
• Familiarity with production program management.
• Strong commercial/business-development instincts.
• Comfortable operating in a flexible, matrixed, highly collaborative team structure without needing formal authority.
• Excellent communication skills to translate technical considerations into business terms.

Physical Demands

• Standard office/remote work environment; primarily computer-based work (video calls, quoting tools, reporting); no unusual physical requirements.

Travel

• Ability to travel as needed (estimate ~40% annually) to support customers, manufacturing partners, and regional operations (team meetings, trade shows, customer visits).
