What you'll do:
As a Product Manager based in Penang, you will be at the forefront of shaping the company’s product offerings within the electronics component packaging industry. Your day-to-day activities will involve close collaboration with both internal teams and external partners to ensure that every aspect of the product lifecycle is managed efficiently. You will be responsible for identifying emerging market trends, conducting in-depth competitor analysis, and developing robust strategies that drive business growth. By engaging directly with key customers, you will uncover valuable insights into their challenges and aspirations, allowing you to tailor solutions that exceed expectations. Your ability to manage pricing strategies, monitor performance metrics, and synchronise efforts across various functions will be crucial in delivering outstanding results. Success in this role requires not only technical knowledge but also exceptional interpersonal skills, as you work together with colleagues and clients alike to achieve shared goals.
- Develop comprehensive product portfolio strategies that are closely aligned with current market trends as well as the organisation’s overarching business growth objectives.
- Conduct thorough market and competitor analyses to identify unique differentiation opportunities that set products apart in the competitive landscape.
- Manage all aspects of product pricing strategy, including margin performance and price-cost management, to ensure sustainable profitability.
- Create detailed business cases to support new project initiatives and customer development efforts, providing clear rationale for investment decisions.
- Engage proactively with key customers to gain deep insights into their business needs, pain points, and potential areas for growth.

What you bring:
To excel as a Product Manager in this dynamic environment, you will bring a wealth of experience from the electronics component packaging sector—particularly within Tape & Reel systems used for semiconductor backend testing. Your educational background provides a solid foundation for understanding complex technical concepts while your hands-on experience ensures you can navigate the nuances of product management seamlessly. You possess strong commercial awareness which enables you to develop effective pricing strategies and negotiate favourable outcomes for both the company and its clients. Your interpersonal skills allow you to build meaningful connections with customers, fostering trust and loyalty over time. In addition to your technical expertise, your ability to analyse data using tools like Excel—and ideally Power BI—will help you monitor performance metrics accurately. Regional travel does not faze you; instead, it excites you as an opportunity to deepen relationships across diverse markets. Familiarity with carrier tape design standards such as EIA 483 further enhances your suitability for this role.
- Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Engineering, Marketing or an equivalent field is required for this position.
- A minimum of five years’ experience in Product Management, Business Development or Technical Sales within the Electronics Component Packaging industry is essential.
- Hands-on experience with Tape & Reel packaging systems specifically for semiconductor backend testing applications is mandatory.
- Demonstrated commercial acumen with proven expertise in pricing strategies, negotiation processes, and effective margin management is necessary.
- A track record of building rapport, establishing trust, and maintaining strong customer relationships over time is highly desirable.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills are required for success in customer-facing situations where understanding client needs is paramount.
- Experience managing cross-functional projects involving multiple stakeholders is important for this role.
- Strong analytical abilities with proficiency in Excel are required; familiarity with Power BI would be considered an added advantage.
- Regional travel experience is necessary due to the nature of customer engagement across different locations.
- Knowledge of carrier tape design compliant with EIA 483 standards would be beneficial but not essential.
