Product Manager for Market leading Processing & Extrusion Ice Cream Systems

About the Role

We are looking for a Product Manager to take ownership of a key part of our equipment portfolio within production line solutions.

In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring that our products are well-defined, competitive, and effectively executed across the organization — from development and engineering to delivery and lifecycle performance.

You will operate at the intersection of technology, business, and operations, acting as a central point of coordination between Engineering, Sales, Production, and other stakeholders. In addition, the role includes managerial responsibility for employees within both our Danish and Turkish organization, ensuring alignment, performance, and integration with the broader product and engineering setup.

The role is less about detailed engineering design and more about driving alignment, making decisions, and ensuring overall product success across teams and geographies.

You will play a key role across the full value chain, combining product ownership with people leadership:

People Leadership & Team Development

• Lead, manage, and develop a team based in both Denmark and Turkey
• Set clear goals and expectations, and follow up on performance, development, and engagement
• Support employee growth through coaching, feedback, and development planning
• Ensure a strong team structure with the right competencies to support current and future needs
• Foster a collaborative, accountable, and high-performing team culture across locations

Product Leadership & Alignment

• Act as the central point of ownership for your product areas
• Align priorities and direction across engineering teams, commercial functions, and operations
• Ensure a consistent approach to how products are developed and delivered across teams and geographies
• Take responsibility for products from development through delivery and ongoing improvement
• Balance customer needs, technical feasibility, cost, and delivery performance
• Drive decisions on standardization versus customization

Operational Execution & Performance

• Ensure that engineering and product decisions support efficient project execution
• Work closely with production, supply chain, and teams globally to ensure scalable and manufacturable solutions
• Identify and drive improvements in products, processes, and ways of working

Commercial & Market Alignment

• Support sales teams in key customer dialogues and larger bids
• Contribute to pricing, cost structures, and overall product competitiveness
• Translate market and customer insights into product priorities

Strategy & Continuous Improvement

• Translate strategic direction into concrete product plans and initiatives
• Drive long-term improvements while supporting ongoing business needs
• Balance strategic development with day-to-day operational demands

Resource & Organizational Alignment

• Ensure effective prioritization and allocation of engineering resources
• Align team capacity with business needs and project demands
• Facilitate collaboration across teams, functions, and locations

Your Profile

We are looking for someone who brings a strong combination of leadership, business understanding, and technical insight:

• Experience in product management, engineering leadership, or a similar role
• Background in engineering, industrial equipment, or production environments
• Proven people management experience, ideally in an international or cross-cultural setup
• Strong leadership skills — able to drive alignment both with and without formal authority
• Good commercial understanding and ability to balance technical and business decisions
• Experience working across functions in a matrix organization
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Fluent in English (written and spoken)

Why Join Gram Equipment
