We are currently seeking a Sr. Manager, Product Marketing, to join our Air Conditioning Technologies Team!

The Senior Manager, Product Marketing owns the go-to-market strategy, positioning, and commercialization of HVAC product portfolios across residential and/or commercial segments. This role is accountable for translating technical capabilities—efficiency, electrification, controls, refrigerants, and system solutions—into clear, differentiated value propositions that drive adoption through distributors, manufacturer reps, contractors, and specifying engineers.

Serving as the hub between Product Management, Sales, Channel Marketing, Training, and Communications, the Senior Manager ensures successful new product introductions (NPI), lifecycle management, competitive readiness, and consistent messaging aligned to business growth objectives.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities include the following:

Product Positioning & Value Proposition

• Define and own product positioning, segmentation, and value messaging across HVAC categories (e.g., heat pumps, furnaces, VRF, controls, IAQ).
• Translate technical features, regulatory requirements, and system-level benefits into compelling, customer-facing narratives.
• Develop persona-based messaging for contractors, distributors, reps, engineers, and end users.
• Maintain messaging frameworks that evolve with market conditions, incentives, and competitive dynamics.

Go‑to‑Market Strategy & New Product Introduction (NPI)

• Lead cross-functional NPI planning and execution from concept to launch and post-launch optimization.
• Develop launch playbooks including positioning, pricing strategy inputs, competitive comparisons, sales tools, and channel activation plans.
• Partner with Sales, Channel Marketing, and Training to ensure readiness and alignment at field and partner levels.
• Track launch success metrics (time-to-first order, attach rates, pipeline contribution, adoption velocity).

Competitive Intelligence & Market Insights

• Own competitive intelligence, including feature/benefit matrices, battlecards, and objection handling tools.
• Monitor market trends such as electrification, efficiency standards, refrigerant transitions, and utility incentives.
• Leverage VOC, win/loss analysis, and field feedback to continuously refine positioning and roadmap inputs.
• Provide insight-driven recommendations for Product Management and leadership.

Sales & Channel Enablement

• Deliver sales enablement tools including sell sheets, spec guides, system selectors, calculators, presentations, and case studies.
• Partner with Channel Marketing and Training to support contractor and distributor education programs.
• Ensure materials are optimized for counter, jobsite, and digital use.
• Enable consistent messaging across all regions and sales motions.

Lifecycle Management & Portfolio Optimization

• Support product lifecycle decisions including launch, sustainment, line extensions, and phase-outs.
• Coordinate messaging for regulatory changes, efficiency updates, and product transitions.
• Align with Supply Chain and Sales on availability, substitution strategies, and communication timing.

Performance Measurement & Continuous Improvement

• Define KPIs tied to product adoption, pipeline contribution, and revenue impact.
• Analyze sales and ship-through data to identify gaps and opportunities.
• Use insights to optimize positioning, messaging, and go-to-market tactics.

Leadership & Cross-Functional Influence

• Lead and mentor product marketing managers and/or specialists.
• Act as a strategic partner to Product Management, Sales Leadership, Marketing, and Engineering.
• Influence without authority in a matrixed organization to drive alignment and execution.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in marketing, Business, Communications, or related field.
• 10+ years in channel or trade marketing within HVAC, building technologies, or industrial B2B.
• Experience in HVAC, building technologies, or industrial B2B manufacturing is strongly preferred.
• Proven track record leading NPI go-to-market programs and portfolio messaging.
• Ability to translate complex technical products into clear customer value propositions.
• Strong presentation, storytelling, and stakeholder leadership skills.
