Senior Product Manager – GridBeats™ Device Management

GE Vernova is advancing electrification through grid automation and software solutions that support reliable and sustainable energy systems. The Senior Product Manager will lead the strategy, discovery, delivery, commercial ownership, lifecycle, and go-to-market activities for GridBeats™ Device Management, collaborating with customers and cross-functional teams to develop software for monitoring and managing grid devices.

Responsibilities:

• Define and own a compelling, outcome-driven product vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap aligned with GridBeats™ business goals
• Translate market insights and customer problems into prioritized opportunities with measurable business outcomes — not just a list of features
• Make crisp, well-reasoned prioritization decisions and align senior stakeholders across product, engineering, sales, and executive leadership
• Conduct continuous customer discovery — engaging operators, protection engineers, and utility leaders to uncover deep pain points and unmet needs
• Monitor competitive dynamics, regulatory trends (NERC CIP, IEC 61850, IEC 62351), and technology shifts to inform strategy
• Represent GE Vernova at industry events and conferences (DistribuTECH, CIGRE, etc.)
• Own and maintain the multi-year business case including revenue forecasts, cost-to-build, margin targets, and investment prioritization
• Define and own the software licensing model and policy — including license types (subscription, perpetual, term-based), optional module packaging, asset-count or capacity-based tiers, and yearly extension terms
• Establish and govern the software lifecycle policy for DvM releases — including version support windows, end-of-life timelines, upgrade path commitments, and security patch obligations — balancing customer operational risk with engineering sustainability
• Lead strategic decisions on deployment and go-to-market models — evaluating and recommending the appropriate mix of on-premises, cloud-hosted, hybrid, and SaaS delivery options per customer segment — and ensure these choices are reflected in pricing, contracts, and partner channel strategy
• Lead the full product lifecycle — from concept and business case through requirements, development, launch, and post-launch iteration
• Lead all release front-end activities — defining and owning business and product requirements across each release cycle, whether operating within a structured gate process or an Agile sprint/PI Planning cadence
• Write crisp, outcome-focused product artifacts — opportunity canvases, PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria that communicate intent without over-specifying solutions. Ensure requirements are baselined, traceable, and accepted by key stakeholders before development commitment
• Work in close collaboration with commercial, engineering, design & delivery teams
• Partner with Marketing to develop impactful messaging, collateral, and campaigns across all channels
• Work with global sales teams to build key customer relationships, execute go-to-market strategies, and deliver product training and awareness programs
• Define and track product KPIs — including adoption, retention, time-to-value, financial results, and market share
• Use quantitative and qualitative evidence to drive decisions and implement continuous improvement or course corrections

Requirements:

• • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
• • 5+ years in product management, including 3+ years leading industrial or enterprise B2B software products
• • Experience building modern software products using containers and microservices architectures, supporting multiple deployment models (on-premise, cloud, SaaS)
• • Proficiency in data-driven decision-making — defining metrics, running analyses, and navigating ambiguity to develop and communicate product strategy
• • Hands-on experience with modern product innovation methodologies — Product Discovery, Lean Startup, Design Thinking, or similar
• • Demonstrated proficiency using AI tools to accelerate core PM workflows (e.g. customer discovery synthesis, PRD drafting, competitive analysis, opportunity sizing, etc.)
• • Familiarity with Agile and other NPI methodologies
• • Ability to work effectively with globally distributed, cross-functional teams; willingness to travel as required
• • Direct experience with electrical utilities, smart grid, device management, protection relays, SCADA, fault recorders, IoT, or industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850)
• • Experience applying AI/ML capabilities in product strategy and roadmap decisions and AI-based prototyping to accelerate product discovery and validation cycles
• • MBA or advanced degree — highly desired
• • A self-starter and strategic thinker with a bias for action
• • Customer-obsessed and passionate about identifying and solving real-world problems
• • Outcome-driven, with a focus on measurable impact
• • An excellent communicator who can simplify complexity
• • Comfortable influencing stakeholders at all levels
• • Strong data literacy — comfortable defining metrics, running analyses, and using quantitative and qualitative evidence to drive decisions
• • Motivated by the energy transition and its global impact
