Category Manager - Quad Lock Carry

Bring your life

Are you a commercially driven category leader who thrives on building products, shaping strategy, and driving growth? Do you enjoy owning a category end-to-end, from insight and concept to market success? If so, this could be the right opportunity for you.

Following the acquisition of Quad Lock at the end of 2024, Thule Group is continuing to strengthen and grow the brand globally. This role will play an important part in shaping the future of the category within Thule.

This role will report to our SVP Category Management, and we are open to the successful candidate being based either at our Thule HQ in Malmö or in Hillerstorp.

What you’ll do at Thule

As Category Manager - Quad Lock Carry, you will build and develop the category from the ground up. You will define the vision, strategy, and roadmap - shaping how customers carry their gear, every day and on every adventure.

You will own the category across the full product lifecycle, from concept through commercialization, with responsibility for growth, profitability, and performance. By combining market insights with strong commercial acumen, you will turn opportunities into impactful product and business strategies.

At Thule, we work cross-functionally to bring products to life. You will collaborate closely with Product Development, Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain, and Finance to ensure strong execution. A key part of the role is acting as a bridge between teams, working with commercial teams in Australia and product development teams in Sweden to create alignment and drive results.

You will lead go-to-market activities, support launches, and ensure strong global positioning. Regular, quarterly travel to Quad Lock’s headquarters in Australia is a natural part of the role.

You will also drive category performance, including P&L, forecasting, and follow-up, while continuously identifying opportunities and building a strong pipeline of innovation.
