Description


Help Shape the Next Generation of Fitness Products:

At Johnson Health Tech North America, we’re not just building treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, strength equipment, and connected fitness experiences — we’re helping people move better, feel stronger, and live healthier lives. Our products show up in homes, health clubs, retail showrooms, and commercial spaces around the world, and every great product starts with someone who can spot what customers need before they even say it.


We’re looking for an Assistant Product Manager who is curious, organized, collaborative, and ready to jump into the exciting world where fitness, product development, marketing, sales, engineering, manufacturing, and customer experience all meet.


Where You’ll Make an Impact:

This role is part product detective, part project coordinator, part storyteller, and part fitness industry trend watcher. You’ll support the Senior Product Manager in bringing new product ideas to life, from early research and competitive reviews to product briefs, launch support, and sales training.

  • Research fitness industry trends, customer needs, and competitor products to help identify what’s next.
  • Collaborate with design, engineering, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and global teams to support product development.
  • Help create product briefs, new product proposals, competitive reviews, owner’s manuals, and assembly guides.
  • Support projects across treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, strength equipment, and console technology.
  • Assist with product improvements, launch planning, showroom preparation, dealer support, and sales training.
  • Bring a thoughtful, customer-first mindset to every product conversation.


You’ll Love This Role If You..

  • Get excited about products and the “why” behind what makes people choose one over another.
  • Enjoy digging into research, comparing details, and turning information into clear recommendations.
  • Can juggle multiple projects without losing sight of the details.
  • Like working with cross-functional teams and building relationships with people in different areas of the business.
  • Are comfortable asking good questions, sharing ideas, and helping move projects forward.
  • Have an interest in fitness, wellness, retail, product management, or consumer products.
Requirements


Skills That Set You Up for Success:

  • A 4-year degree in Business, Marketing, Engineering, business administration, or a related field is preferred.
  • Experience or education in product, sales, service, project management, or the fitness industry is helpful.
  • Experience with specialty retail, health clubs, mass retail, product management, or consumer products is a plus.
  • Strong communication, organization, and follow-through skills.
  • Comfort using Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
  • Interest in global collaboration, product development, and bringing ideas from concept to launch.
  • Up to 25% global travel
