Through your entrepreneurial thinking and action, your experience of the market, your contact with customers in the industry, your deep understanding of all processes and methods in product management and technical development, you will lead your team successfully and raise the company to the next level.   

You will succeed in this role if you have a unique blend of business and technical understanding to create and present decision proposals based on facts from the market. You will be able to manage and implement these quickly and profitably according to investment decisions. You possess the ability to translate complex relationships and solutions into understandable and visual representations and strategies, as well as present these both internally and externally.  

Your main abilities should include an excellent form of communication and great people skills since you will be communicating with all departments in the company at both management and employee level, as well as interacting with partners, customers, the press, and analysts.  

As a Head of Product, you will form a powerful team and ensure the economic success of the company by constantly developing new innovations, going into new markets, and increasing sales as well as profitability in a sustained manner.
