Posted on: March 11, 2023

Job Description:

Key Responsibilities:
As a Global Product Manger for Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) at Applied Materials, you'll work with a small team to set the vision and direction for Applied's MES product line. You have deep understanding of manufacturing, how the MES is used within manufacturing, and the value the MES brings to manufacturers. And you have strong knowledge of the competitors in the MES space, with the ability to compare and contrast their strengths and weaknesses.
You also have an affinity for collaborating with customers to understand needs and pain points, and the ability to translate those into product recommendations and roadmap requirements. You have the ability to communicate clearly and calmly during customer conversations, and the emotional intelligence to understand the customer's perspective and the underlying motivations driving their needs.
You'll use these skills to build both external and internal consensus to drive Applied's MES product roadmap. You'll perform market and competitive analysis; build cost and pricing models; develop strategy to increase market growth; and coordinate with global Sales, Engineering, and Support teams in executing the strategy. You'll become a "super-user" of Applied's MES products and the go-to subject matter expert.
Along the way you'll create marketing collateral, write manufacturing-related blog posts, conduct product-related webinars and user groups, speak at industry events, and travel to customer sites to build relationships and learn about customer needs.
Prior experience with Applied Materials and competitors' MES products is a strong plus.
