[Hiring] Product Manager @Green LED Lighting Solutions

Role Description

We need one person to own the product line end to end: what we sell, how it is configured and priced, what we build next, and how it gets from a factory drawing to a spec sheet a lighting designer trusts. This is a hands-on seat reporting to the CEO in a lean, AI-leveraged company. You write the specs, build the pricing, and chase the samples yourself.

Product line and roadmap

• Own the full catalog: linear pixel, architectural linear, signage, and entertainment product families
• Build a 12 to 24 month roadmap tied to rep and specifier demand, margin, and supply risk
• Rationalize the line: what to retire, consolidate, or re-source
• Set list and channel pricing and keep price books current for reps and distributors

New product development

• Write product requirements (optical, electrical, mechanical, controls, certification)
• Run development with internal technologists and contract factories from concept to launch
• Manage certification paths (UL/cUL/ETL, DLC where relevant, IP ratings)
• Track cost, landed cost, and lead time, including tariff and country-of-origin exposure

Configuration, data, and documentation

• Own configuration rules in our CPQ so reps can quote configure-to-order products without errors
• Keep item, BOM, and product data clean in Business Central
• Own spec sheets, install guides, IES files, and website product content

Go-to-market

• Launch products with training, sales tools, and pricing for reps and distributors
• Be the product voice with lighting designers and architects on spec-driven projects
• Turn field feedback, warranty data, and quote losses into roadmap decisions

Year one goals

• Catalog audit in 30 days
• Approved roadmap and refreshed price book in 90 days
• First new or revised product family through samples in 6 months
• Two or more launches shipped in 12 months

Qualifications

• 3+ years in product or product line management for physical products, ideally LED lighting, signage, or entertainment lighting
• LED fundamentals: drivers, CCT/CRI, binning, thermal, voltage drop, IP/IK ratings
• Lighting control: DMX/RDM, SPI pixel protocols, 0-10V, DALI
• Hardware taken from requirements to launch with overseas contract manufacturers
• Pricing models, cost roll-ups, and margin analysis in Excel
• ERP item/BOM data and CPQ or configurator tools (Business Central and Elfsquad a plus)
• Clear technical writing in professional English, plus strong spoken English for calls with North American reps and designers
• Daily use of AI tools to move faster
• Based in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, or Brazil, working at least 9am to 3pm US Eastern
• Able to invoice as an independent contractor
• Occasional travel to Moncton NB, Las Vegas NV, trade shows, and factories

Requirements

• Not a fit if you want to manage a team of PMs rather than do the work
• Your product experience is software only
• You need a mature process and complete data before making a call
• You are not comfortable owning a number and being measured on it

Benefits

• US$3,500 to US$5,000 per month, paid monthly in USD
• Independent contractor engagement, fully remote from Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, or Brazil
• Direct line to the CEO and real ownership of the product line
