Epson is a global technology leader dedicated to delivering innovative imaging and printing solutions that help businesses improve productivity, creativity, and operational efficiency. Our Commercial and Industrial Printing business is transforming the way professionals produce photography, fine art, graphic arts, proofing, signage, textiles, and other specialty applications through industry-leading large-format printing technology.

 

Epson is seeking a Product Manager to join the Professional Photo Products team within our Large Format Printing business. This role will focus on Epson’s professional large-format photo portfolio and the products, software, media, and workflows used in photography, fine art reproduction, graphic arts, and proofing applications.
In this role, you will help shape the product roadmap and manage products throughout their lifecycle—from evaluating customer and market needs and working with global engineering teams on product development to launch, positioning, pricing, forecasting, and ongoing product management. You will develop a strong understanding of the needs of professional photographers, photo labs, fine art printmakers, graphic arts professionals, and other imaging customers, translating those needs into recommendations that help ensure our solutions are technically ready, commercially relevant, and positioned for success.

 

You will work hands-on with Epson’s professional photo products and printing workflows, evaluating how printers, inks, media, software, color-management tools, and related technologies work together to deliver exceptional image quality, color accuracy, consistency, and reliability. You will collaborate closely with technical, sales, marketing, and service teams to support new-product introductions and the ongoing success of the portfolio.

 

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who combines wide-format printing experience with a passion for professional imaging, technical curiosity, and strong business acumen. You should enjoy working directly with products, testing print quality and workflows, evaluating media and applications, solving technical and commercial problems, and collaborating across teams to bring successful products and solutions to market. Experience with professional photography, fine art printing, proofing, color management, or related imaging workflows is highly desirable.
