About the Role

We are seeking a Product Manager / Product Sales professional to lead our Power Products category, including wall taps, surge protectors, multi-outlet strips, and extension cords. This role owns category strategy and execution—from assortment optimization and pricing to competitive benchmarking and sourcing collaboration—serving as a key partner to retail customers in the hardware channel.

The preferred location is West Chicagoland; we are open to hybrid or remote candidates with the right experience.

Key Responsibilities

Own the Power Products category as the subject-matter expert, driving strategy, roadmap, and day-to-day category decisions.
Partner with retail hardware buyers and internal sales teams to support growth, line reviews, assortment planning, and execution.
Evaluate and improve existing assortments: identify gaps, recommend additions/changes, and rationalize underperforming SKUs.
Monitor market trends: track competitors, new product launches, pricing moves, promotions, and channel dynamics.
Develop pricing: build pricing models, margin targets, and recommendations aligned to competitive positioning and retailer requirements.
Drive product competitiveness: recommend features, specifications, packaging, and compliance needs to maintain or improve position in the market.
Support sourcing and supplier management: collaborate with factories and sourcing partners on cost, lead times, quality, specs, and production readiness.
Create product and category documentation: item setup details, spec sheets, sell-in materials, and category insights for internal and customer use.
Cross-functional leadership: coordinate with operations, quality, sales, marketing, and sourcing to launch and maintain products successfully.

Required Qualifications

Proven experience in product management and/or product sales within consumer products.
Strong category knowledge of power accessories (wall taps, surge protectors, outlet strips, extension cords).
Demonstrated experience working with buyers in the retail hardware channel (e.g., hardware retail, home improvement, regional chains, distributors).
Hands-on understanding of sourcing and factory collaboration, including cost negotiations, specifications, lead times, and quality considerations.
Track record of building assortment recommendations and pricing strategies based on market and competitor analysis.
Strong analytical skills and comfort working with data (POS, pricing, margin, competitive sets).
Excellent communication skills and ability to influence across functions.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with line reviews, planograms, and assortment strategy for retail.
Familiarity with relevant standards/compliance considerations in power products (as applicable to your product set).
Existing relationships in the retail hardware channel.

Work Location

Preferred: Chicagoland area
Open to: Remote or Hybrid (based on experience and business needs)

What Success Looks Like

Assortments remain competitive, productive, and aligned to buyer needs.
Pricing is defensible, margin-aware, and responsive to market changes.
New and improved products launch on time with clear specs and strong positioning.
Supplier collaboration improves cost, quality, and continuity of supply.

How to Apply

your power products experience,
retail hardware buyer experience, and

Pay: $80,000.00 - $130,000.00 per year
