Your Job

At Molex, we don't just build connectivity, we enable the infrastructure behind modern enterprise environments.

As a Product Line Manager, you will lead the strategy and performance of a portfolio of primarily fiber-based interconnect solutions, with adjacent copper offerings, supporting enterprise buildings and commercial data center environments. You'll operate with a true General Manager mindset, owning direction, investment decisions, and business outcomes.

This portfolio represents a strategically critical and globally deployed product line, supporting customers across key enterprise infrastructure markets and applications.

As enterprise environments continue to evolve, with increasing bandwidth demands, density, and performance requirements, the need for scalable, high-performance fiber connectivity solutions is accelerating. This creates meaningful opportunities to shape the future of enterprise and data center infrastructure.

This is a strategic, high-visibility role where you will align product strategy with practical customer applications and real-world deployment needs, helping strengthen Molex's position in the enterprise connectivity market.

Our Team

You will be part of Molex's Connected Enterprise Solutions business unit, focused on delivering end-to-end fiber and copper infrastructure that powers enterprise buildings and data centers.

Our team operates with a Principle Based Management (PBM) philosophy, empowering individuals to think like owners, challenge assumptions, and create long-term value. We are highly collaborative across engineering, operations, sales, and marketing, and we are deeply aligned around innovation, customer success, and business impact.

  • Translate voice of customer and field insights into clear product and technology requirements
  • Own portfolio performance, growth, margin, and profitability
  • Develop and execute pricing strategy and support key customer engagements
  • Partner directly with Sales and customers across enterprise buildings, structured cabling, and commercial data centers
  • Evaluate competitive dynamics and position Molex solutions around performance, scalability, ease of deployment, and total cost of ownership
  • Drive cross-functional alignment across engineering, operations, and supply chain to execute effectively
  • Lead continuous improvement across cost, quality, and portfolio optimization

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

  • Experience in product management or product line leadership within fiber optics, connectivity, structured cabling, or related infrastructure markets
  • Strong business and financial acumen with the ability to connect strategy to results
  • Proven ability to translate customer and market insights into actionable product strategies
  • Experience working cross-functionally in technical environments
  • Strong communication and stakeholder influence skills
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

What Will Put You Ahead

  • Experience owning a global product portfolio with P&L accountability
  • Experience with fiber optic interconnects or fiber cabling systems (highly preferred), with exposure to copper solutions as a complementary capability
  • Familiarity with enterprise building infrastructure or commercial data center environments
  • Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and business stakeholders
