The Company
Sundyne designs and manufactures highly engineered pumps and
compressors for a range of mission critical applications. The company
focuses on harsh operating environments where the consequences of
failure are severe and where reliability, uptime and durability are
paramount. Sundyne serves a diverse range of industries, including
LNG and petrochemical markets (~50% of new unit orders), along with
a rapidly growing presence in chemical and industrial sectors (~20% of
new unit orders), and strong momentum in renewable energy, gas
processing, and refining. Today, Sundyne has approximately $350
million in annual revenue, employs over 700 people globally, and is
headquartered in Arvada, CO, outside of Denver.
The Role
To drive future growth, Sundyne has created the new role of VP of
Global Product Management to take responsibility for optimizing
growth, revenue, and gross margins across the company’s 6 product
lines. The VP will own product management, product strategy, and
pricing and partner closely with the executive team to create and
drive Sundyne’s organic growth strategy. The VP will lead a team of
6 Product Line Managers and a Pricing Manager and report directly
to the CEO. The role will ideally be based at company headquarters
in Denver, but there is flexibility for the right candidate.
