Head (f/m/d) of Product Management and Development - Substation & Grid Monitoring

A Snapshot of Your Day

You start the day by reviewing portfolio-level progress across substation and grid monitoring products, gaining an overview of roadmap delivery, key risks, and interdependencies across regions and asset classes.

You meet with Product Managers to review product roadmaps, customer priorities, and execution status, ensuring alignment with the overall portfolio direction and business objectives. You work with R&D and engineering leaders to address major technical or capacity constraints and to ensure investments are focused on the most strategic initiatives.

In the afternoon, you focus on portfolio planning and steering: shaping the integrated portfolio roadmap, prioritizing initiatives across products, making investment trade-offs, and aligning with regional, commercial, and service organizations. You end the day advancing the long-term portfolio strategy for how Siemens Energy enables smarter, more resilient grid operations through monitoring, analytics, and digitalization.
