Our offer

The position as Category Manager Smart Health gives you the opportunity to work in a team with a clear sense of purpose. We are curious and passionate about creating solutions that solve real-life problems that our seniors encounter.

At Doro, we strive for a work-life balance. We offer you a dynamic workplace where you can continue to develop your skills in an environment where we co-operate and support each other. After the pandemic, we have a flexible approach allowing you to work two days per week remote.

About the position

You will shape ideas into new products and features and deliver new business potentials. Doro is on a very exciting journey and wants to expand our portfolio with an eco-system to help seniors live a better life. 

You will participate in leading the planning of new product releases, communication, learning, and setting expectations for delivery of new features and functionalities, contributing to ensuring the eco-system delivers value and improves everyday life for seniors.

The Category Smart Health is new at Doro. You will be a part of this exciting journey to increase the business with the aim of representing the future revenue stream. Identified products in this category are Hearables, Wearables and Health monitoring devices and we also see the need for these products in this category to be connected to a specific application.

This job will include regular travels to visit our Doro offices in Europe and once or twice per year to the Doro Hong Kong office, as well as attending external meetings locally and abroad, conferences, fairs, and exhibitions.

The daily work includes:

• Manage the entire product life cycle from strategic planning to tactical and operational activities.
• Develop a creative environment in the organisation.
• Search, recommend and define new products and services to launch.
• Have broad knowledge and understanding of the market, including our customers – operators and retailers – and our competitors and partners.
• Have useful insights into our end users' desires, challenges, and pain points, i.e., the seniors.

Are you the one?

It is important that you are energetic and self-motivated, but also that you are analytical and well-organized. You must be good at pitching ideas and have an ability to gather members from different organisations around common objectives, we, therefore, see that you are an excellent communicator, verbally and in writing, and have excellent presentation skills. We assume you are fully fluent and confident in at least one Scandinavian language and English, and additional languages are positive.

Having a technical, creative background enables you to understand the solutions that can help our seniors with their daily life with the future of Smart Health products & services. This of course requires a great taste of strategic insights and understanding the future trends & technologies as well as leadership skills and an analytical way of thinking.

We see that the category is developing more and more towards software and services, so a good understanding of Android CTS, CCD, GMS & app development is beneficial, as well as an understanding of hardware. If you have worked with or for mobile operators and have good insights into their needs and challenges, as well as an ability to negotiate with them, is an advantage.

We are looking for someone genuinely interested in both the creative and technical processes of developing products and services and commercial marketing. 

The position requires 10-15 years of experience in a similar role with a good knowledge of the telecom, electronic, or Internet industry. It is an advantage if you have experience with medical devices and could be a part of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR).

We will interview candidates on an ongoing basis and therefore ask you to send in your CV today! Due to the summer holidays, this process will take longer than normal.
