Direct Line Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

We're looking for people who put their innovation to work to advance our success - and their own. Join an organization that ensures a more secure world through connecting and protecting our customers with inventive electrical solutions.

We are seeking a Product Line Leader for the nVent CADDY Electrical brand, a globally recognized portfolio of engineered electrical fastening solutions.

It's a senior leadership role for someone comfortable owning outcomes in a highly matrixed, global environment.

** This is a full time, direct-hire position with a hybrid work schedule of 4 days/week on-site in Solon, OH.**

• Partner closely with engineering, operations, sourcing, and supply chain leaders to influence capital allocation, investment priorities, cost structure, capacity decisions, and execution tradeoffs-without direct line authority.
• Drive pricing strategy across regions in collaboration with sales and pricing teams, using analytics to improve margin, consistency, and governance.
• Guide product roadmaps across sustaining engineering, targeted innovation, new product development, and go-to-market (GTM) execution, balancing nearterm performance with longerterm competitiveness.
• Identify and evaluate adjacent markets and product opportunities within the electrical pathway, collaborating with internal engineering and manufacturing capabilities to expand the portfolio over time.
• Serve as the senior business and product leader for product portfolio, influencing senior leadership and contributing to long-term, enterpriselevel goal setting.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a small team of Product Managers responsible for major segments of the global business.

YOU HAVE:

• Bachelor's (B.A. or B.S.) degree in engineering, business, or an equivalent area.
• 12+ years of experience in engineering and/or product roles, with demonstrated growth in scope or accountability, and direct responsibility for physical, electromechanical, or hardwareenabled products within product management, product leadership, or closely related commercial product roles.
• Proven P&L ownership or accountability for a product line or business, including pricing and profitability responsibility.
• Proven direct people management experience, including an ability to guide and mentor a team of global Product Managers.
• Strong analytical capability and experience applying data to pricing, portfolio simplification, and investment decisions; advanced Excel skills strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to lead through influence-working effectively across engineering, operations, supply chain, sales, and marketing in an interconnected organizational environment.
• Background in electrical, industrial, or adjacent engineered products, including industries where products are sold through distribution channels is highly valued.
• Ability to travel up to 25%, including internationally, for business-related needs.

• A dynamic global reach with diverse operations around the world that will stretch your abilities, provide plentiful career opportunities, and allow you to make an impact every day
