Bring Your Life
Are you passionate about products and curious about how strong categories are built from insight to global market success? Do you want to develop your career in product and category management while working hands-on with real commercial impact? If so, this could be the right opportunity for you.
At Thule, we develop world-class, premium products with a strong focus on quality, sustainability, and an active lifestyle. We believe in combining curiosity, collaboration, and a hands-on mindset to create products that make it easier to bring your life.
What you´ll do at Thule
As Associate Category Manager, you will be part of our global category team and work closely with experienced colleagues to support and gradually take ownership of selected parts of the category portfolio.
You will contribute to the development of category strategies and product plans, helping to translate consumer insights, market trends, and competitor analysis into actionable input for the business. Over time, you will grow into taking more ownership of selected product areas and initiatives.
You will work cross-functionally with product development, sales, marketing and supply chain, to support the execution of go-to-market activities and ensure strong product launches.
Your role will also include supporting commercial activities such as pricing input, product training, and sales support, as well as helping to maintain strong alignment between teams across markets.
As part of the role, you will be connected to our Graduate Program within our global R&D Center in Hillerstorp, providing valuable cross-functional exposure and opportunities for professional development within an international environment. This will give you a broad understanding of category management, product development, and commercial execution within a global organization.
What you bring
To be successful in this role, we believe you have a strong interest in products, business, and how great consumer experiences are created. You have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in engineering, business, or a related field, and/or equivalent experience.
You bring a strong willingness to learn and develop within product or category management, and you are comfortable working in a structured, collaborative, and fast-paced environment.
As a person, you are analytical, curious, and eager to understand consumer needs, market dynamics, and product performance. You communicate clearly in English and enjoy working with people across functions and cultures.
In addition, you are proactive and not afraid to take initiative. You enjoy being part of a team, sharing knowledge, and contributing to a positive working culture.
Why you should join Thule
At Thule, we believe in strong team work both within your own team but also cross functional between teams. We strive to be an open and curious organization, sharing our knowledge and inspiring one another.
Within Thule Group you will find people who have a passion for the products we make and the outdoor company we are. We share the same values and we like to have fun. All of our employees have a joint responsibility to maintain that spirit and contribute to it.
