The Product Manager owns the product line end to end, including the catalog, configuration and pricing, product roadmap, and the translation of factory drawings into reliable product documentation.

The position owns product families covering linear pixel, architectural linear, signage, and entertainment lighting. It develops a 12–24 month roadmap based on rep and specifier demand, margin, and supply risk; evaluates products for retirement, consolidation, or re-sourcing; and sets list and channel pricing. It also leads new product development from requirements through launch, including coordination with internal technologists and contract factories, certification paths, cost, landed cost, lead time, tariffs, and country-of-origin exposure.

The role supports launches with training, sales tools, and pricing for reps and distributors; represents products to lighting designers and architects; and uses field feedback, warranty data, and quote losses to inform roadmap decisions.

The position is fully remote within the United States. Occasional travel is required to Moncton, New Brunswick; Las Vegas, Nevada; trade shows; and factories.
