Job Description:

Who are we?

Today is where the future becomes reality, and that’s why we believe that every “today” should be extraordinary. People-centric design and an obsession with details are at the core of what we do at Belkin. We empower people to get more life out of every single day with our extensive range of products delivering power, protection, connectivity, audio, and smart home solutions. From humble beginnings in a 1980s Southern California garage to celebrating over 40 years as a market leader and innovator, our ethos has always been about connection. As a diverse, global technology company, Belkin is still inspired and driven by the connection between people and technology.

Website: www.belkin.com

What you’ll do

As Regional Category Manager for EMEA within Belkin’s Connectivity business unit, you’ll own the commercial performance of your portfolio and be the go-to partner for internal teams, customers, and partners across the region. You’ll shape category strategy, guide the end-to-end product lifecycle, and work closely with Sales, Global Product, Marketing, and Planning to bring compelling, consumer-first propositions to market. With ambitious growth plans for Connectivity and B2B, you’ll also play a key role in translating new technology and investment into winning roadmaps, launches, and in-market execution across EMEA.

How you’ll do it

Own commercial performance (P&L): Lead pricing, promotions, and profitability strategies, partnering with regional Sales teams to build pipeline and deliver revenue.
Lead the full product lifecycle: Identify market opportunities, drive NPI (New Product Introduction) for connectivity, and manage through to end-of-life planning. Continuously optimise the portfolio based on performance, trends, and strategic priorities.
Set strategy and build roadmaps: Define category, channel, and go-to-market strategy for Connectivity in EMEA, maintaining a product roadmap aligned to consumer needs, market trends, competitive dynamics, and business objectives.
Turn insights into action: Gather and analyse market data, competitive intelligence, and customer feedback across the category—then translate insights into clear recommendations for Sales, the Business Unit, and senior stakeholders.
Deliver great launches: Lead product launches across EMEA in partnership with Channel Marketing and cross functional team. Deliver sales tools, training, and product collateral that clearly communicate technical benefits, fit, and consumer value.
Be the EMEA voice to Global Product: Act as the key liaison between EMEA and Global Product Management, sharing performance updates, customer feedback, and market learnings in monthly/quarterly reviews—and shaping priorities for new technology and investment in Connectivity.
Work cross-functionally to execute: Partner with Planning, Sales, and Marketing to support availability, healthy inventory levels, and strong local execution across EMEA markets.
Improve how we work: Support the Senior Category Manager/Director of Category Management to embed best practices and continuous improvements that increase efficiency and commercial impact.

What you’ll need

Experience in Product Management or Category Management in a comparable commercial role (Consumer Electronics, IT, or retail buying experience is a strong plus.)
Strong commercial acumen and a track record of delivering category growth.
Confidence leading cross-functional initiatives and influencing stakeholders across countries and functions.
Comfortable presenting to retail customers and internal senior leadership.
A proactive, results-driven approach and the ability to manage multiple priorities at pace.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a structured approach to turning data into decisions.
Clear, confident communication skills—able to simplify complex topics for different audiences.
Strong capability with Excel, PowerPoint, and standard business tools, including commonly used generative AI tools
Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

What you’ll get in return

Permanent Full Time (40 hours a week), Monday - Friday
Competitive Salary, Benefits and Bonus Plan
Flexible hybrid working (3 days office, 2 days remote)
Optional Private Health Insurance & Dental Insurance
Pension
Life Assurance & Income Protection Insurance
Employee Assistance Programme
25 days holiday (increasing to 30 days after 5 years) & Bank Holidays
Birthday Day off
Belkin Product Employee Discount Programme

Location: Kings Langley, UK

What you’re getting into

We’ve got big collaborative spaces for your big ideas, so bring an open mind and leave your suit in the closet. We all are committed to creating unique and rewarding consumer experiences. Everyone is interested in succeeding – for the team, for themselves and for the business. Cross-functionally and across the company, everyone has common goals and aspires to be their best.

You will learn something new or at least look at things differently every day. There are so many smart and creative people around that you’ll be motivated to pursue the ideal.

Team spirit is infectious. Belkin is an extremely open workplace, where communication is essential. Not every idea will be accepted, but you’ll be asked for your point of view. Innovation thrives on multiple and varied levels. At Belkin we challenge conventional wisdom and refuse to accept that something cannot be done.

Belkin is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer Disability and Veterans. We maintain a drug-free workplace.
