The Role
Fisher & Paykel is one of New Zealand's most recognised global brands, driven by a simple ambition to become the world's most human-centred premium appliance brand.
From our new Global Headquarters in Penrose, alongside our Distribution Centre in East Tāmaki and Global Experience Centre in Grey Lynn, we're shaping the future of premium appliances through design, innovation and commercial excellence.
The opportunity
We're looking for a commercially curious Commercial Product Manager who sees products differently.
This isn't about maintaining the status quo. It's about bringing fresh perspectives into a highly experienced team, challenging conventional thinking and helping shape the next generation of our product strategy.
You may not come from the appliance industry - and that's exactly what excites us.
Perhaps you've built your career in FMCG, consumer electronics, retail, automotive, beverages or another fast-moving consumer environment where pricing, promotions and profitability drive everyday decisions. You understand how to balance customer needs with commercial outcomes and enjoy turning insight into action.
Working across our New Zealand market, you'll influence product strategy from new product introduction through to end of life. You'll partner closely with Sales, Marketing, Finance and our Global Product teams, using market insight and commercial analysis to optimise our portfolio, develop pricing strategies and identify opportunities for growth.
Just as importantly, you'll bring a fresh perspective. We're looking for someone who is naturally curious, commercially astute and confident enough to respectfully challenge existing thinking.
About you
You'll likely have experience in Product Management, Category Management or a commercial role within FMCG or another consumer-focused industry. You're comfortable analysing pricing, profitability and portfolio performance, thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy influencing decisions through insight rather than hierarchy.
Most importantly, you're ambitious. This role is viewed as part of our succession pipeline, offering the opportunity to develop into a future commercial leader within Fisher & Paykel.
Why join us?
You'll join a global organisation headquartered in New Zealand at an exciting stage of growth, working alongside talented people who genuinely enjoy solving complex commercial challenges. We offer flexible working, generous product discounts, medical, life and disability insurance, superannuation, market-leading family leave, a subsidised café, free onsite parking and genuine opportunities for career progression.
Ready to bring a different perspective?
If you've built your career outside the appliance industry and are looking for an opportunity where your ideas will be heard, your commercial thinking will influence decisions and your career can grow, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply today with your CV and tell us what fresh thinking you'll bring to Fisher & Paykel Appliances.
