Drive Category Excellence and Shape the Future at ABENA

We are seeking a Global Product Manager to play a pivotal role in our Baby Diapers category—one of the heartbeats of ABENA and a cornerstone of our ongoing success. This is more than a job; it’s an opportunity to create real impact for families and end-users, while supporting the growth and innovation that define our journey.

As Product Manager, you will help develop and continuously update our product assortment, ensuring it aligns with market demand and our business strategy. You’ll collaborate closely with our Group Concept Manager and a team of passionate experts, building and sharing product and market knowledge, supporting subsidiaries, and driving new opportunities across borders.

Your work will touch every part of the process—from compliance and documentation to marketing materials, packaging, and quality assurance. You will manage daily operations, coordinate tenders, and ensure our products meet the highest standards, all while keeping the category’s strategy “on track” and supporting the broader ABENA mission.

If you’re ready to help shape the future of a key category, while never losing sight of the bigger picture, this might be the right role for you!

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Develop and update the baby diaper product category to ensure the assortment aligns with market demand and business strategy, in collaboration with the Group Concept Manager.
  • Build and share product and market knowledge through training and presentations, while maintaining tender documentation across subsidiaries.
  • Ensure product compliance with specifications and legislation, and coordinate marketing materials, packaging updates, and artwork.
  • Manage daily operations and tenders, tracking processes in Salesforce, including deadlines, improvements, and backorder follow-up.
  • Coordinate product tests and ensure documentation and quality assurance.
  • Support subsidiaries in developing the category locally, pursue new opportunities, and prepare the team’s quarterly newsletter.

Success in this role depends upon your ability to secure the engagement and alignment of both internal and external stakeholders, as to keep moving forward. Collaboration is key to realizing our category strategy. Also, over time, being able to demonstrate in-depth knowledge of our product range will be crucial.

 What we hope you bring

  • Experience with classical product management - assortment development, Life cycle analysis, and sales performance tracking would be advantageous
  • Strong analytical and commercial skills, including understanding finance and sales figures.
  • Excellent project management and execution skills, with the ability to create positive and efficient stakeholder relations
  • Highly organized with strong planning and detail orientation.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, able to work across teams, subsidiaries, and with external partners in both Danish and English
