Description

At Mico, our exclusive Front of Wall brands Raymor and Adesso are a big deal they’re growing fast, they’re loved and trusted by trade, and we want someone who gets excited by shaping where they go next. As our Product Manager, reporting to the Category Manager FOW and working within the Merchandise & Category team, your job is simple in theory (but definitely not in practice) supporting and assisting in the implementation of our exclusive product strategies across the business to make sure our products are the best choice for our customers every single day.

You’ll own the product lifecycle end to end researching opportunities, developing new products, managing suppliers, refining the range, and setting pricing that makes commercial sense. You’ll also be the person people call when they need answers: branches, sales teams, suppliers, operations. This role brings plenty of variety one moment you’re deep in data, the next you’re debating a product spec, the next you're figuring out why something’s selling better in one region but not another.

Manage the full lifecycle of our exclusive FOW products, with a strong focus on Raymor & Adesso
Recommend which products to range, stock, and promote across our nationwide branch network
Negotiate supplier terms to drive commercial outcomes, margin growth, and category performance
Identify new product opportunities and lead concept to launch execution

About You:

To succeed in this role, you’ll be a seasoned professional with strong commercial instinct and real product curiosity. You make smart commercial calls because you understand customers, not just spreadsheets, and you’re not afraid to dig into why something sells in one region but not another. You work well with suppliers and branch teams because you’re practical, clear, and straight up. And above all, you take pride in shaping products that trade customers genuinely rate.
