We are seeking a Product Analytics Manager to serve as an embedded financial and performance partner to the Fireplace Business Unit's product portfolio team, connecting portfolio strategy to financial outcomes through fact-based business cases, performance analysis, investment evaluation, and decision support.

 

This role brings together financial, sales, product, pricing, cost, and operational data to create a clear view of portfolio performance and help leaders understand the economics, risks, opportunities, and trade-offs behind portfolio decisions. It is not a traditional financial reporting role; its focus is strengthening the business rigor and quality of portfolio choices.

 

IDEAL CANDIDATE PROFILE

The successful Product Analytics Manager is a commercially minded finance or analytics professional who can move between detailed analysis and broader business decisions. They can build financial models and business cases, work across multiple data sources, identify the drivers behind performance, and translate complex analysis into clear recommendations. They bring financial rigor and an objective point of view to decisions involving new products, investments, pricing, lifecycle management, and portfolio priorities.

 

Most importantly, they understand that analytics creates value when it improves a business decision, not simply when it produces more information.

 

WORKSITE DETAILS

The Product Analytics Manager is a full-time, direct-hire, salaried position with Hearth & Home Technologies. This role will work onsite four days a week (M-Th), with the flexibility to work remotely on Fridays based on business needs.
