Shape the future of Mine Safety Technology

Boardroom Appointments is recruiting on behalf of a leading technology organisation seeking an experienced Occupational Safety Solutions (OSS) Product Manager to lead the strategic direction, development, and commercial success of a specialised portfolio of gas detection and environmental monitoring solutions for the mining industry.

This is a unique opportunity for a commercially astute and technically credible Product Manager who can bridge customer requirements, engineering capability, and business strategy. You will own the complete product lifecycle—from defining the long-term roadmap and market strategy through to product development, commercialisation, and continuous improvement.

If you have extensive experience within the mining industry, a strong understanding of gas detection technologies, and a passion for driving innovation that enhances operational safety, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and execute the long-term product strategy and roadmap for Occupational Safety Solutions.
  • Drive product development from concept through to market launch and ongoing lifecycle management.
  • Gather customer, market, and competitor intelligence to ensure products remain aligned with industry requirements and emerging trends.
  • Translate customer and operational requirements into clear technical product specifications for engineering and development teams.
  • Lead cross-functional collaboration across Engineering, Research & Development, Production, Quality, Sales, Marketing, and Executive stakeholders.
  • Develop business cases, pricing strategies, go-to-market plans, and commercial initiatives that maximise product value and profitability.
  • Coordinate product testing, proof of concept activities, site trials, and validation programmes.
  • Monitor product performance, customer feedback, and market adoption to drive continuous product improvement.
  • Ensure product governance, documentation, certifications, compliance, and quality standards are maintained throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Represent the organisation with customers, industry partners, and at relevant mining and technology forums.

Minimum Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Technical, Business, or a related discipline.
  • Minimum 10 years' Product Management experience, preferably within mining technologies, safety systems, or industrial products.
  • Minimum 10 years' experience within the mining industry.
  • Proven experience managing the full product lifecycle from strategy through commercial delivery.
  • Strong technical knowledge of gas detection instrumentation, environmental monitoring systems, or related occupational safety technologies.
  • Demonstrated experience leading complex cross-functional projects and delivering products to market successfully.
  • Strong commercial acumen with experience in pricing, profitability, business cases, and market strategy.
  • Ability to travel to mining operations as required.

The Ideal Candidate will demonstrate

  • Strategic product ownership and long-term vision.
  • Deep understanding of customer requirements and market dynamics.
  • Ability to translate technical capabilities into commercial solutions.
  • Strong leadership and stakeholder management across multiple business functions.
  • Excellent analytical, planning, and decision-making abilities.
  • Outstanding communication and presentation skills.
  • Proven ability to drive innovation while balancing technical, operational, and commercial priorities.
  • A collaborative leadership style with a passion for continuous improvement and delivering customer value.

Why Apply?

This is an exceptional opportunity to lead the development and commercial success of industry-leading occupational safety technologies that directly contribute to safer mining operations across Africa and beyond. You will influence strategic product direction, work alongside highly skilled multidisciplinary teams, and play a pivotal role in delivering innovative solutions to one of the world's most demanding industries.

If you are an experienced Product Manager with deep mining expertise, proven gas detection knowledge, and the ability to lead products from concept to market success, we invite you to apply.
