Job Description

The ideal candidate for an Associate Product Manager would be able to do the following:

Product Management Support

Support the Senior Product Manager team across assigned halo categories throughout the product line life cycle, from strategic planning through tactical execution.

Assist in maintaining product roadmaps and in gathering the voice of the customer — organizing dealer, consultant, and end-user feedback into usable insight.

Build and maintain competitive comparisons, product matrices, and specification data that support product differentiation and business-case development.

Develop into a product expert on assigned categories — supporting sales force and distribution network training, and participating in customer-facing sales support alongside a Senior Product Manager.

Monitor the competitive landscape and proactively share findings with the product management and sales organizations.

Pricing Responsibilities

Serve as a key resource within Alto-Shaam’s ERP environment (Oracle) for product pricing data — supporting list pricing setup, pricing structures, and discount management, and helping ensure pricing records remain accurate, complete, and current.

Partner with the Director of Pricing & Product Management to help build and maintain the Pricing Roadmap, contributing the analysis that shapes forward-looking pricing strategy.

Help identify gaps in our pricing relative to the competitive set, along with sources of margin leakage, and bring forward recommendations to close them.

Analytics, Tools & AI

Use Alto-Shaam’s approved AI tools to accelerate competitive research, data summarization, and documentation; build and share repeatable prompts and workflows so the wider team benefits.

Identify and propose automation opportunities within pricing operations, and help set the standard for responsible, effective AI use across Product Management.

Qualifications

Education & Experience

Bachelor’s degree in business, marketing, finance, economics, engineering, supply chain, or a related field.

0–3 years of professional experience in product management, pricing, finance, analytics, marketing, or sales support. Relevant internship and co-op experience will be considered.

Working proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint; comfort learning ERP and quoting platforms (Oracle and AutoQuotes preferred).

Skills & Attributes

Quantitative aptitude. Genuinely enjoys numbers, math, and working through a problem to a defensible answer.

Attention to detail. Treats data accuracy as a personal standard; builds checks into their own work.

Curiosity and drive. A self-starter who asks why, teaches themselves what they need, and moves work forward with limited direction.

Presence and communication. Confident and credible in front of sales teams and senior leadership; explains analysis in plain, decision-ready language.

Appetite for AI. Actively interested in learning and applying AI tools such as Claude to everyday analytical, research, and communication work — with sound judgment about where they help and where they do not.
