Product Launch Manager
OMHU · Copenhagen NV · Full time
The central link between idea and market, driving speed, alignment and execution
OMHU is looking for a highly structured and commercially minded Product Launch Manager to take products from idea to market.
You will create momentum and alignment across design, product development, sourcing, procurement, marketing, operations, logistics, finance and legal. You will own the process, the timelines and the launch dates, making sure strong ideas become commercially successful products at speed.
This is not a role for someone who only creates plans. We are looking for a hands-on operator who follows through, challenges stakeholders and keeps projects moving when priorities change.
Who are we looking for?
You combine project management discipline with commercial judgement. You love working in an entrepreneurial environment with several workstreams and shifting priorities, and you bring structure rather than waiting for it.
You can turn data, customer insight and strategic direction into concrete product decisions. You communicate clearly, challenge stakeholders when needed, and create accountability across teams without losing momentum or relationships.
Your key competencies
· 3 to 5 or more years of experience in product management, project management, category management or product launches within consumer goods, design, ecommerce, DTC or a startup environment.
· Proven ability to run complex cross functional projects from idea to launch.
· Strong execution skills. You do not stop at strategy, plans or presentations.
· Highly structured and comfortable creating clarity in a fast moving environment.
· Commercial and analytical confidence across business cases, pricing, cost ceilings, forecasts, portfolio analysis and product performance.
· Experience with product roadmaps, stage gate processes, timelines, dependencies and decision forums.
· Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to push senior stakeholders and secure decisions.
· A strong understanding of the trade offs between brand, product quality, timing, cost and commercial potential.
· Comfort working internationally across teams, suppliers, cultures and time zones.
· Bonus: experience in furniture, interiors, social first brands or using AI to improve product and project workflows.
What will you do?
Your core responsibility is to own the OMHU product launch engine and ensure that new products move through development with clear decisions, realistic timelines and strong commercial foundations.
· Own and continuously improve the product launch process.
· Build and manage project timelines together with Supply Chain and Procurement, including ownership of launch dates, dependencies, risks and follow up.
· Lead product steering meetings and relevant decision forums.
· Create and maintain business cases and commercial track records of products.
· Ensure that product and design briefs cover commercial objectives, unique selling points, use cases, packaging requirements, sustainability considerations and product specifications.
· Kick off approved projects with the relevant teams and establish clear ownership, milestones and decision points.
· Coordinate across Design, Product Development, Supply Chain, Procurement, Marketing, Operations, Logistics, Visual Merchandising, Finance and Legal, including intellectual property strategy.
· Define launch requirements covering pricing, positioning, key features, hero variants, colourways, fabrics, display offerings and showroom presentation.
· Keep leadership informed through clear status reporting, risk visibility, priorities and recommended trade offs.
· Drive go to market readiness with the marketing team.
· Plan and execute internal product training before launch.
· Analyse product performance after launch and own end of life recommendations and execution.
How we measure success
· Launch timelines are hit.
· Annual launch targets are met.
· Internal alignment improves, with fewer delays, unclear decisions and last minute surprises.
· Launch performance delivers against the approved business case.
· Teams work more efficiently through clearer ownership, stronger handovers and faster decisions.

· Significant ownership, influence and direct exposure to leadership and all major business functions.
· Thorough onboarding in our products, roadmap, supplier network and ways of working.
· A high performance culture where direct feedback, fast decisions and personal development are part of daily work.
· A paid lunch arrangement with healthy and delicious food.
· One of the market's best health insurance plans and an attractive pension scheme.
