This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Head of Product Development based in Switzerland.
This is a newly created department-head role with direct exposure to the CEO and end-to-end ownership of physical consumer product development.
You will turn customer insights into products that are specified, manufactured, priced, launched, and continuously improved.
The role combines customer research, product design, overseas manufacturing, commercial decision-making, and post-launch performance management.
You will use evidence from reviews, search behavior, social content, surveys, interviews, and testing to determine what products should be built and how they should be positioned.
You will also establish a disciplined feedback loop between launch predictions and actual commercial results.
Alongside individual product ownership, you will lead a small team and shape the research, analysis, and scoring systems that support product decisions.
The position is fully remote, with flexibility around a required daily overlap with US Eastern Time.
