Marine Portfolio Manager

Overview

Hexagon’s Marine business unit is looking for a Marine Portfolio Manager to take ownership of our full marine product and service portfolio and shape where it goes next. Reporting into the Marine business, this position will set the portfolio roadmap, own delivery of the plan, and directly influence the marine strategy.

Our marine portfolio spans VERIPOS high-integrity positioning and correction services, Guidance Marine products, volume measurement, and a growing set of new marine products needed to deliver our strategy. Deciding what we do not pursue will be as important as deciding what we do, and this role will have the mandate to make and defend those decisions.

Sitting at the centre of the business, the Marine Portfolio Manager will bridge sales and engineering, turn customer and market insight into clear priorities, and ensure that what we build is aligned with market needs. This is a rare opportunity for someone with deep knowledge of the marine positioning and survey markets to have visible ownership and influence across Hexagon’s global positioning business.

The Location: This position is based in Aberdeen, UK, and follows a hybrid work model. International travel will be required.

The Company: Hexagon is a global leader in digital reality solutions, combining sensor, software, and autonomous technologies. We are putting data to work to boost efficiency, productivity, quality, and safety across industrial, manufacturing, infrastructure, public sector, and mobility applications.

Our technologies are shaping production and people-related ecosystems to become increasingly connected and autonomous, helping create a scalable and sustainable future.

Responsibilities

As Marine Portfolio Manager, you will be responsible for these activities:

• Portfolio strategy and roadmap: Own the strategy and multi-year roadmap for the full marine portfolio, including VERIPOS positioning services, guidance, volume measurement, and future marine products.

• Strategic alignment: Ensure the portfolio supports the Marine business unit’s strategic and financial goals, and provide direct input into marine strategy and planning.

• Prioritization: Make and defend clear decisions on what to invest in, maintain, sunset, or not pursue, focusing resources where they create the most value.

• Bridge sales and engineering: Turn customer, market, and competitor insight into clear product requirements and priorities, keeping sales and engineering aligned on what is being delivered and why.

• Delivery of the plan: Be accountable for delivering the portfolio plan, tracking progress, managing trade-offs, and reporting performance against targets.

• Business cases and lifecycle: Build business cases, provide pricing input, and establish lifecycle plans for new and existing products and services.

• Market expertise: Act as the internal authority on the marine positioning and survey markets, including key segments, customers, competitors, and technology trends.

• Growth opportunities: Identify portfolio gaps and new opportunities, including partnerships, adjacent markets, and new service models, while working with other Hexagon divisions to leverage shared technology.
