Let's start with the job's location. My client is located in MA, but much of your work will be done in the DC area, and my client will consider someone working from home. Description: My client is a manufacturer of molded components used in a variety of products, including automotives, off-road transportation, heavy equipment etc. In addition, one of their key customer segments is the Marine/Naval industry,most specifically the United States Navy, as well as those companies that build ships, particularly submarines, for the Navy. In this job, you will manage the marine/naval market segment. You will conduct market research, analyze and identify growth opportunities, and develop/implement plans for growth of market share. You will be responsible for competitive analyses as well, and investigate opportunities to improve product design and customer satisfaction. This is a complete Market Manager position, with the additional twist of building and cultivating strong relationships with the US Department of the Navy and its supplier base. You will act as a Project Manager on particular projects, moving product from concept through delivery. This is a very important job with my client, and success will guarantee growth within the company. Now here's the thing: I posted this job some time ago, the job was taken off the market and now it's back. The position reports to a Sr. Market Manager for Defense (DOD) Products. They are looking for someone who may now be a Product Manager looking for his/her next step up. My client will relocate, but, as I said previously, would also consider someone who would work remotely, if he/she would be willing to work in the MA facility a couple of days a month. Clearly, much of your time will be spent around DC, Groton CT, or Norfolk VA. So, if you live on one of those areas now, it may be possible to stay where you are and still be able to accept this position. Requirements: You must have a Bachelor's degree, and since this is a technical product, my client would love the degree to be in Engineering, ideally, but not necessarily, from the US Naval Academy. An MBA would also be nice. US Naval experience, that is, having served in the Navy or Marines, is a requirement of the position, as is US citizenship and the ability to pass a security clearance. You need to have spent some time working in Sales or Marketing as, say, a Product Manager at Electric Boat, or a company that services EB or the Department of the Navy. Again, I know that there aren't many of you folks out there, but if you're one of them, you should really consider this opportunity. And remember, you can do so without relocating, if you want to. I look forward to hearing from you. I can be reached at 401-831-5550. Dick Johnson Johnson & Tregar Associates maryland
