Our family of trusted brands includes Hardie®, TimberTech®, AZEK® Exteriors, Versatex®, fermacell®, and StruXure®.

This position is based at our offices in Chicago, IL. Relocation support is available.

The expectation is that this position would be primarily in-office or at our other business locations at least 4 days per week with flexibility to work from home or remotely on occasion. Position will require moderate travel (25-35%).

The Product Management Team for the Deck & Accessories category has responsibility for the overall lifecycle, sales and financial performance of these products. These include the full line of Deck, Porch, Accessories and Adjacencies (e.g. decking substructure).

Position Summary:

Reporting to the Sr. Director of Product Management for the Deck & Accessories, this role will have direct responsibility for all of our fastener products within the decking product category as well as certain fasteners for the Exteriors category (e.g. AZEK Trim).

• Work with our Technical Services and Installation/Applications teams to develop and conduct product qualification testing, installation and other field tests and of new and existing products.
• Identify and evaluate new and emerging fastener technologies to determine potential product, strategic and business fit.

Position Qualifications:
