Rain Bird’s irrigation products and services are tailored to meet the needs of our customers. At Rain Bird, product managers center the customer throughout the entire process, from conception and development to marketing and sales. As one of our principal Product Managers, Ron, says, Product Managers are the “voice of the customer…communicating to the company what the market needs.”

Customer-Oriented and Mission-Driven

Being customer-oriented can be challenging when your customers live and work all over the globe and require irrigation support for everything from farms, golf courses, and sports arenas to commercial developments and homes. Product managers are “subject matter experts…sought out,” as Rick, a Marketing Manager at Rain Bird says, “by customers [and] by salespeople within Rain Bird.” To keep Rain Bird at the forefront of the industry, Rain Bird product managers research competitors, customers, and market trends to inform Rain Bird’s fast-paced decision-making and design and implementation of solutions for our global customers. 

Product Managers — like everyone at Rain Bird — also prioritize Rain Bird’s dedication to conservation and the intelligent use of water. As Rick says, “We are developing products and technologies that make a significant difference in improving landscapes while conserving water.” Product Managers help Rain Bird to deliver on our mission to be the global irrigation industry leader by providing quality products and services that promote the Intelligent Use Of Water for irrigation applications around the world. Product Managers work with their teammates to keep Rain Bird focused on what’s most important: customer needs and conservation.
