What’s the job about?
- The product launch process generates awareness and preparedness as new value drivers are brought to market. Product Launch Managers work closely with the Value Driver Development layer by managing successful product introductions into the layers and verticals. Product Launch Managers support the Create Demand and Operations and Support layers, organizing a launch team to ensure product collateral, training materials, and service support resources are in place for internal and external customers.

- Scope the requirements of each launch and collaborate with the Product Launch Coordinator to engage the launch teams.
- Seek out effective methods to communicate product information to the various stakeholders served by product management.
- Work with functional group leaders, product managers, and department managers to develop functional support plans and gain commitment to the development schedule.

- Manage the launch of multiple new products and derivatives concurrently.
- Identify, communicate, and implement product launch process improvements, while evaluating pros and cons, risks, and benefits of different solution options.
What will the work look like for me?
- You will interact with a diverse group of team members, including product managers, engineers, and market leaders, to coordinate and communicate launch activities. Strong teamwork, sound judgment, and effective decision-making will be important for success. Building relationships, maintaining composure, demonstrating flexibility, managing ambiguity, and exhibiting resilience will all be essential skills.
- You will be responsible for consistently delivering high-quality work within deadlines and working independently. You must be able to quickly learn new tasks, adapt to changing processes, and carefully inspect your own work to ensure accuracy and attention to detail.
Where is this opportunity located?
- Daktronics offers the flexibility to work from a U.S. home or Daktronics U.S. location.
