Product and Portfolio Manager Livestock

• Groenlo
• Livestock

What are you going to do?

As Product and Portfolio Manager, you will be responsible for developing a clear product strategy and vision for one of the key solution domains within our Livestock portfolio. This can be either:

our Cow Monitoring Platform (Nedap CowControl - Dairy Farming), or

our Integrated Farm Solutions , where we integrate Nedap products with the solutions of our business partners.

In both cases, you help us create scalable solutions that add tangible value for dairy farmers worldwide. You work from the shared ambition of our Livestock business unit and connect colleagues from sales, R&D, support and external partners to make clear choices together.

You translate market and partner insights, as well as technological developments, into a roadmap that provides direction and clarity in a dynamic playing field. You make choices explicit, substantiate them with a solid business case and ensure buy-in from stakeholders. In this way, you help to make our solutions valuable in practice more quickly and effectively.
