Commercial Product Manager

About the Role

Fisher & Paykel Appliances, a globally recognized New Zealand brand, aims to be the leading human-centred premium appliance company. Operating from its Global Headquarters in Penrose and key sites in East Tāmaki and Grey Lynn, the company is innovating the future of premium appliances through design, market insight, and commercial expertise.

Opportunity Overview

We seek a commercially insightful Commercial Product Manager who approaches product management with a fresh mindset. This position is about challenging traditions and contributing new ideas to strengthen our product strategies, not just maintaining the current status quo.

Ideal candidates might come from industries such as FMCG, consumer electronics, retail, automotive, or beverages, where pricing, promotions, and profitability shape daily decisions. Understanding how to balance customer demands with commercial objectives is essential, as is the ability to convert insights into effective initiatives.

The role involves managing product strategy across the New Zealand market, from launching new products to phasing out older ones. Close collaboration with Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Global Product teams ensures portfolio optimization, pricing strategy development, and identification of growth opportunities.

We value natural curiosity, strong commercial acumen, and the confidence to respectfully challenge established views.

Candidate Profile

You are likely experienced in Product Management, Category Management, or a related commercial function within FMCG or similar consumer-focused sectors. Proficiency in analyzing pricing, profitability, and product portfolio performance is key. You thrive in teamwork-oriented environments and prefer influencing decisions through evidence and insight rather than authority.

Ambition is critical as this role is part of our leadership development pipeline, providing a pathway to future commercial leadership within the organisation.
