Junior Product Manager
Would you like to help develop new products from initial idea to market launch? Are you curious, practical-minded, and motivated by discovering new products and improving existing ones? At Aqua Campus, you will work on brands used every day by aquarium, pond and reptile enthusiasts throughout Europe.
Your role as an All-round Content Marketer:
As Junior Product Manager, you will help develop and improve our product range. You will work closely with the Product & Brand Manager, R&D Manager and colleagues from departments including purchasing, design, service and sales. You will contribute to the positioning and development of brands such as SuperFish, Repto, Colombo, Hikari, Koi Pro and Blue Marine. You will combine product ideas and market insights with practical testing and careful execution.
Your tasks and responsibilities:
- Together with the product team, you will monitor the planning, action points and progress of product projects, coordinating with colleagues and suppliers.
- You will request product samples, evaluate and test them together with R&D, and document your findings and recommendations for improvement.
- You will maintain and manage test setups in our testing laboratory.
- You will analyse product feedback and complaints together with purchasing, service and the product and brand manager, and help implement improvements.
- You will support the development and review of packaging, manuals, product information and annual price lists in collaboration with the design team.
- You will keep the Campus showroom up to date, complete and presentable, and coordinate the practical preparations for visits and product training sessions.
- You will contribute ideas for shelf layouts and product presentations in retail stores.
- You will gather product specifications, benefits and samples to help the commercial team successfully introduce new products.
- You will monitor market developments, visit trade fairs and suppliers in Europe and Asia when required, and identify opportunities for our product range.
Who are you?
You’re curious, detail-oriented and spot opportunities where others miss them. You work independently, but value collaboration just as much.
In addition:
- You have commercial awareness and enjoy comparing products and competitors.
- You work in a structured way and are proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
- You communicate clearly in Dutch and English, both verbally and in writing.
- You enjoy testing products yourself and are willing to travel abroad to visit suppliers occasionally.
- Knowledge of aquariums, ponds and/or reptiles is an advantage, but not a requirement. We value an interest in the hobby and a willingness to learn just as much.
Your working environment at Aqua Campus:
Aqua Campus is the head office of the Aquatic Wholesale Group.

Our marketing department handles virtually everything in-house: websites, social media, email marketing, campaigns, packaging, product launches, photography, video, print materials and content creation. This means you’ll have an exceptionally versatile role in which you can fully utilise your creativity and continue to develop yourself.
