What does a Product Manager do at Kiilto?
As a Product Manager at Kiilto, you take ownership of assigned product lines within Professional Hygiene, ensuring they remain competitive, compliant and commercially successful. You are the voice of the customer and the driver of your portfolio. The role is based in Malmö and forms part of a broader Nordic product management team (Denmark, Finland and Sweden).
Your focus will be on the DAX portfolio and Kiilto Pro range, primarily serving healthcare customers such as hospitals, regions and professional cleaning environments. This is not a passive portfolio management role. We are looking for someone who proactively drives their products forward and takes clear ownership of the result.
Some of your key responsibilities:
Drive Product Lifecycle Management (PLCM) for your assigned product lines
Maintain product roadmaps and lifecycle plans – and drive actions to keep products competitive
Identify development, improvement and discontinuation opportunities in collaboration with cross-functional teams
Prepare business cases and strategic recommendations
Monitor product performance, profitability and competitiveness
Gather customer and market insights and translate them into product decisions
Ensure product information, labelling and regulatory compliance are up to date
Support Sales with product expertise, training, tender activities and complex customer cases
Who are you?
We are looking for a commercially driven product manager who takes ownership and is comfortable making decisions in a cross-functional environment. You don't need to come from a traditional product management background – a strong sales background combined with a commercial mindset works equally well.
What matters most is that you are proactive, structured and genuinely curious about your products and your customers. Product Lifecycle Management experience is a must, everything else we can develop together.
Requirements for this role:
Experience in product management or product lifecycle management
Strong commercial and analytical mindset – ability to assess product performance and drive decisions
Experience of cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management
Fluent in Swedish and English – both written and spoken
Comfortable working independently as part of a distributed Nordic team
Experience from a regulated environment (professional hygiene, chemicals, pharma or similar), familiarity with CRM tools such as Salesforce, or a background close to sales teams is highly advantageous. An interest in sustainability is a plus.
What we offer!
At Kiilto you get a broad and impactful role in a stable, family-owned company with a long-term perspective and a genuine sustainability agenda. You work in a friendly, ambitious team in Malmö, with regular collaboration across the Nordics and Finland.
A role with real ownership – you drive your products and see the impact
Part of a supportive, international Nordic team that works well together
A company in active transformation – room to grow and take on more responsibility
