DISCOVER
As a Product Manager at Sauna360, you will guide products through their full lifecycle, from early concept to launch and beyond, helping ensure they meet real customer needs while delivering strong business results. You will partner closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Quality, and Project Management to bring ideas to life and keep products performing in market.
You will operate within a stage gate development model and serve as a key connection point across teams, translating customer and market insights into clear product direction.

YOUR RIPPLE EFFECT
-
Do you enjoy taking products from idea to reality and seeing them succeed in market? Own assigned products across the full lifecycle, from early concept and discovery through development, launch, and ongoing performance, ensuring products deliver on customer needs, quality expectations, and business outcomes.
-
Can you turn real customer insights into meaningful product decisions? Gather and synthesize voice of customer input from customers, dealers, sales teams, and field data, translating those insights into clear product requirements, user experiences, and positioning strategies.
-
Are you at your best when collaborating across teams to deliver results? Act as a central connector across Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Quality, aligning on priorities, managing trade-offs, and helping drive execution forward.
-
Do you thrive in structured product development environments where clarity and discipline matter? Lead product execution within a stage gate framework, ensuring milestones are met and that teams are prepared for successful, on-time product launches.
