IMI plc

We are a global specialist engineering company that creates breakthrough solutions. We are curious and like to solve problems, partnering with our customers to solve the demands of today and prepare for the challenges of tomorrow.

We design, build and service highly engineered products in fluid and motion control applications. We focus on five market sectors: Industrial Automation, Process Automation, Climate Control, Life Science and Fluid Control, and Transport.


Our partnership approach breaks through problems and reduces complexity. We don’t invent in isolation – we collaborate with our customers. We listen closely and we think differently, creating space for diverse minds to innovate. We are working together to make businesses safer, more sustainable and more productive.


Role Overview

Join our Industrial Automation sector, on the IMI Graduate Programme in the USA, University Park, Illinois, and gain unique product management experience. In this role you will learn key skills and processes to plan, develop, launch and manage our products through their entire lifecycle in a way that will deliver real value to our customers today and tomorrow. You will collaborate with Engineering, Marketing, and Sales to ensure that the health of the product portfolio is optimal and the value in our products is being translated to an outstanding customer experience. You will also use market research and interface with our customers to drive market-led innovation.

By the end of the programme, you’ll have all the skills needed to grow in your product management career. You’ll spend two years running and supporting in several areas, on tasks including:


  • Market research to identify market needs, including voice of the customer activities, competitor research, win/loss analysis, data mining to validate market segmentation understanding, and analyzing and synthesizing customer research
  • Support development of product strategies and roadmaps, including defining a product vision, goals, and high-level themes that are tied with the broader business objectives, creating a product roadmap, and developing pricing strategy
  • Margin improvement and 3C analysis for product lines (including 9 block analysis)
  • Create and update go-to-market strategies by working with the rest of the commercial team (sales, marketing, and commercial leadership)
  • Support execution of product rationalization strategy and obsolescence projects.
  • Support projects to improve the P&L Performance and customer experience for the product line(s)


What you need

  • You will need a completed Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Marketing, Business Management, or Engineering. We’d also like to see some key qualities in our candidates, including:
  1. A fresh, innovative approach
  2. Open to new and varied experiences
  3. Excellent organisation with the ability to work efficiently in fast-paced environments
  4. Positive approach and drive to develop
  5. Fluent in written and spoken local language.
  6. Must be a US Citizen or a permanent resident
  7. Live locally in the Chicagoland area
  8. To be able to start right away


We believe that the more diverse we are as a company, the better representation and difference we can make for the communities we serve. It’s important that candidates looking to apply can reflect our safe, inclusive culture that celebrates difference.
