Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Disc Brakes Australia Pty Ltd Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

At the heart of every great vehicle is the ability to perform under pressure—and stop on a dime.

We're looking for a Product (Category) Manager with a passion for precision engineering and cutting-edge brake technology to help shape the future of aftermarket braking components.

If you're someone who geeks out over braking distances and friction and rotor materials, we want you on our team

Collaborative with a pragmatic hands-on approach, you will;

  • Maintain strategic advantage by monitoring market trends and competitor activities, providing actionable insights that aid in the creation and implementation of product roadmaps and enhancements
  • Work closely with Operations to ensure accurate demand forecasting and product availability across your category
  • Ensure a pipeline of first-to-market product development initiatives that target car parc (distributor and end-user)
  • Provide sales support and training to effectively communicate product features and benefits to customers and internal stakeholders
  • Be the internal voice of the customer and product champion
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to drive product innovation that meets stringent performance, legislative, and quality requirements
  • Be customer-focused and offer prompt and market leading product support to our customers

Customer-centric, you will relish the opportunity to work as part of a collective effort that is working towards delivering value whilst meeting key strategic objectives.

What will give you the competitive edge

  • Proven working experience in Product, Brand, or Category Management
  • Proven success managing full product lifecycles, including NPD and market activation
  • Effective communicator, with the ability to collaborate cross functionally, lead and influence
  • Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to work within a collective team environment
  • Self-starter mindset—proactive, resilient, and passionate
  • Strong analytical skills, excellent attention to detail and the ability to organise, prioritise and deliver outcomes
  • High level of comfort around ambiguity, with a mindset of test and learn, driven by data
  • Formal qualifications in Engineering and/or related discipline (desirable but not essential)
  • Engineering or Automotive Trades experience would be highly advantageous
  • Proficiency in MS Office suite (Excel, Word, Outlook, etc.)

Why join us?

At DBA, we're celebrating 50 years of Australian Manufacturing this year. We're proud of our roots and passionate about braking technology. We've got our eyes set on being a customer-led innovative business and we're looking for like-minded individuals to join us on our journey.
