About this job

Our client designs and manufactures analytical instruments and digital laboratory software used worldwide. Alongside its hardware platforms, it develops specialised software solutions that allow laboratories to collect, manage and interpret complex analytical data.

As laboratories generate increasingly large volumes of analytical data, software platforms that manage, process and secure this information have become critical to laboratory operations, regulatory compliance and scientific productivity.

Customers include industrial laboratories, research organisations, quality control facilities and contract testing labs. Through a combination of instrumentation, software and services, our client helps laboratories improve data integrity, workflow efficiency and regulatory compliance.

They are currently strengthening their digital product strategy, with a strong focus on expanding the commercial impact of their laboratory software platforms.

This position has been created as part of the company’s strategic expansion of its digital product portfolio. While the business has a strong heritage in scientific instrumentation, the next stage of growth will be driven by software solutions and new digital business models.

To support this transition, the company is seeking a Product Manager – Digital Products who will take ownership of the strategy, positioning and growth of its laboratory software platforms.

In this role, you will lead the development and commercial expansion of two core laboratory software products used by analytical laboratories worldwide.

You will act as the link between customers, sales teams, and software development, ensuring that the product roadmap reflects real laboratory needs while supporting long-term commercial growth.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Defining the product vision, roadmap and positioning for the company’s digital solutions
• Identifying new business models and monetisation strategies for laboratory software products
• Translating customer requirements into clear product specifications and development priorities
• Working closely with software development teams and technical partners to guide product evolution
• Supporting global sales teams in positioning and selling software solutions
• Conducting market analysis and competitive research to identify opportunities for growth
• Contributing to the development of the company’s next generation digital platform
• Engaging with key customers, industry partners and internal stakeholders to drive product adoption

This role offers the opportunity to influence how a global scientific technology company evolves from a hardware-focused business toward a modern digital and software-driven model.

We are looking for someone who combines technical curiosity with strong commercial thinking.

You enjoy understanding complex technical environments but are equally comfortable discussing strategy, customer value and market opportunities. You are able to navigate between different teams and cultures, translating technical concepts into clear business opportunities.

The ideal candidate is:

• Strategic and analytical
• Comfortable working with both technical and commercial teams
• Curious about laboratory technologies and scientific software
• Able to simplify complex topics and communicate clearly
• Autonomous, proactive and comfortable working in an international environment
• Proficiency in Mandarin will be a strong advantage

This role will suit you if you enjoy working in an international and technology-driven environment, where you can influence both product development and commercial strategy.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Play a key role in shaping the future digital strategy of a growing scientific technology company
• Work with international teams across Europe and Asia
• Contribute to the development of new software products and business models
• Interact with leading laboratories and industry experts worldwide
• Operate in a flexible and largely remote working environment

The company values initiative, collaboration and long-term thinking, and offers the opportunity to grow within a business investing strongly in innovation.

The role is part of an international product team working closely with R&D, marketing, sales and technical partners.

The working model is flexible and remote-friendly, with occasional international travel required to meet customers, partners and internal teams.

Key elements of the offer include:

• Salary in the range of 70,000€ to 95,000€ / £60,000 - £80,000 depending on experience
• Performance-related bonus
• Private medical insurance
