Purpose
PerkinElmer is seeking an Operations Product Manager - UV to support the ongoing execution of the product portfolio for an assigned analytical instrument product line. This role exists to ensure that the Strategic Product Manager and NPI Product Managers are free to focus on strategy, market development, and new product introduction — by providing dedicated ownership of the day-to-day operational product management work that keeps the existing portfolio running smoothly and competitively.
The Operations Product Manager is a junior-to-mid-career product management role, working under the direction of the Strategic PM or VP Product Line. Their scope is defined and delegated — they are not expected to set portfolio strategy or own roadmap decisions, but they are expected to execute with discipline, escalate intelligently, and develop toward broader product management responsibility over time.
We are offering a hybrid working contract split between home and our offices in High Wycombe.
