Head of Products – Breaker Booms, Lahti, Finland

Do you want to own a global product business, from strategy to profit?

Our breaker boom systems help mines and quarries break oversized rock safely at crushers and grizzlies. As Head of Products – Breaker Booms, you lead our global boom offering through the whole life cycle: from concept and development to launch, life-cycle management and end of life. You have the technical, commercial and financial responsibility for the products: product performance, quality and safety, market positioning and offering, as well as pricing, gross margin and product cost.

Boom system engineering and manufacturing are done together with our joint-venture partner in France. This means that a big part of the role is leading the partnership well: you set the direction and make the product decisions, and our partner does the manufacturing.

Your responsibilities

• Set and execute the product strategy for the boom offering: which segments we serve, and how we position our products in the market.
• Work closely with sales and the Sandvik sales areas as a key stakeholder and build deep customer and application insight through regular contact with customers and the field.
• Own the product roadmap and development portfolio, and decide which projects start, stop and get priority.
• Own pricing, margin and cost development across all sales channels, for new equipment, parts and service.
• Lead product requirements, system architecture, verification and validation.
• Lead customer-specific development projects, from customer needs and solution concept to delivery.
• Lead the engineering cooperation with our partner in France, with shared priorities, gate reviews, clear decision rights and the right capacity.
• Make sure that products meet the relevant directives, standards and certifications, and build safety and sustainability into the product design.
• Lead and develop the product development and management team in Lahti (Chief Engineer, Product Manager, R&D Engineers and Application Engineer), and work well with global R&D functions in a matrix organization.

Your profile

Must have

• Several years of experience in R&D, engineering and product management or product line leadership with industrial equipment, with responsibility for business results and pricing.
• Understanding of selling through indirect channels, such as sales areas and dealers.
• Experience of engineering in delivery projects. You can turn customer and application needs into a working solution and support project sales.
• Experience of leading and growing an expert team: you can recruit, build new capabilities and grow the team as the business grows. You build trust quickly and you are good at both strategy and practical work.
• Experience of leading engineering work with partners or teams in other countries.
• Fluent English.

Nice to have

• Knowledge of mining or quarry processes.
• Knowledge of breaker booms, hydraulics, control systems or automation, for example tele-remote solutions.
• Finnish or French.
