ABOUT THE ROLE
Reporting to the Senior Product Growth Manager (Wound) – Ostomy, this exciting role offers the opportunity to help shape the future of wound care products within Eakin's Global Ostomy & Wound business.
As our Product Executive (Wound Care), you'll play an important part in bringing innovative products to market and enhancing existing solutions that make a meaningful difference to users' lives. While you'll be part of the wider Ostomy team, your primary focus will be on our wound care portfolio.
You'll gain exposure to the full product lifecycle, supporting products from initial concept and New Product Introduction (NPI) through to market launch, ongoing portfolio management, and end-of-life planning. Working closely with colleagues across Product, Insights, Commercial, and Operational teams, you'll help ensure our product offering remains both commercially successful and focused on user needs.
A key aspect of the role is acting as the voice of the user within the business. You'll gather, analyse, and interpret customer and user feedback, working alongside Product Managers and Insights colleagues to translate these insights into product improvements and future innovation opportunities. Your contributions will help shape product requirements and influence the development of new solutions that deliver real value to our users.
This role would suit someone who is naturally curious, customer-focused, and passionate about understanding user needs. You'll have the opportunity to collaborate with a range of stakeholders, influence decision-making, and help foster a culture where user insights are at the heart of product development, communication, and proposition design.
If you're looking for a role where you can combine analytical thinking, collaboration, and creativity while contributing to products that positively impact people's lives, we'd love to hear from you.

Fifty years ago, Eakin Healthcare started with one man’s mission: pharmacist, Tom George Eakin. He saw his patients struggling with leaking urostomy pouches and decided enough was enough. He got to work and formulated what would become the game-changing, eakin Cohesive® seal.
Fast forward to today, and we’re still keeping it in the family. We’ve grown a lot since then, both organically and through acquisitions. Now we’ve got you covered with a range of medical devices across our therapeutic areas of Ostomy, Respiratory and Surgical and our delivery service, Respond.
Our vision is to improve healthcare outcomes for people by delivering trusted solutions in focused therapeutic areas within our chosen global markets.
>Ostomy - We manufacture and supply high quality ostomy pouches and skin friendly accessories to hospitals and end-users in the community in more than 30 countries, including our flagship product, eakin Cohesive® seals.
Our award- winning discreet ostomy home delivery and nursing service, Respond, operates throughout the UK.
>Respiratory - We manufacture innovative products for use in anaesthesia, respiratory and critical care including AquaVENT® heated humidified circuits. Our respiratory products for both adult and neonatal patients are highly regarded in the UK, US, Europe and South America.
>Surgical - We manufacture and distribute high-quality single use surgical instruments that are sold worldwide.
We aim to deliver improved surgical outcomes to professionals and are proud to be an NHS and HSE trusted supplier in the UK.
All our manufacturing takes place in the UK with our three core sites located in Comber (N Ireland), Coleraine (N Ireland) and Cardiff (Wales).
