Want to join us? We are looking for a Category Manager with a passion for innovation. If that’s you, we'd love to hear from you!



Our offer

The position as Category Manager Innovation gives you the opportunity to work in a team with a clear sense of purpose in an international organization where using innovative technology to help seniors is our core business.

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.

You will work from our bright, spacious office close to the Central Station in Malmö with many places to go for lunch, close to shopping and gyms. However, during the pandemic, we mostly work from home and do most of our meetings over Teams.



About the position

Doro is on a very exciting journey and wants to expand our portfolio with new products and services and build an eco-system to help seniors live a better life. The Category Manager Innovation (CMI) will be responsible for the structure and processes so innovative products and services can be generated from an idea all the way into a successful business unit that can contribute to its overall profit and loss.

As CMI, you will be able to create and implement the vision and strategy for Innovation within the organisation and successfully lead other stakeholders in the same direction. This job requires you to travel from time to time.

Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

- Create and maintain a structure and process around innovative products and services.
- Create and maintain an optimal portfolio and roadmap in terms of an ecosystem.
- 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.

Profit & Loss Responsibility


- Responsible for the P&L of innovation products and services assigned.
- Create, evaluate, and recommend valid business cases for new products and services.
- Appraise opportunities and business proposals from Sales as well as customers and external partners.




Go-to-market and Launch Planning

- Implement company-wide go-to-market and roll-out plans, working with concerned departments to successfully launch the products and services.
- Support Sales with sales material, presentations, technical and products & services breakdowns and explanations.




Are you the one?

We search for a creative person who can preferably be the inventor itself considered as the idea finder to build our eco-system, having an insatiable curiosity to learn, and having an entrepreneurial mindset to help bring new products and services.

In this role, it is also important that you are energetic and self-motivated, but also that you are analytical and well-organized. You must be very good at convincingly pitching the ideas, and 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.

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

We are looking for someone genuinely interested in both the creative and technical processes of developing products and services and commercial marketing. You love to work in a technical & commercial environment combined with a strong marketing perspective and are eager to develop ideas and turn them into profit-making products.

The position requires 10-15 years of experience in marketing and/or product management and/or project management with a good knowledge of the telecom, electronic, or Internet industry. Be product and marketing-oriented, understand the product range, features, technical perspective and understand how the market and sales work and what makes customers tick.

A university degree within marketing/business and/or engineering/technology is preferable, and ideally a combination.

We will interview candidates on an ongoing basis and therefore ask you to send in your CV today!
