Job Description

GE Vernova is seeking a strategic, customer-obsessed Senior Product Manager to lead GridBeats™ Device Management (DvM) — a core component of GridBeats™, our portfolio of software-defined automation solutions for grid digitalization.

GridBeats™ DvM is a powerful software suite enabling remote monitoring, control, and lifecycle management of grid intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) — including protection relays, fault recorders, power quality meters, and sensing equipment. Designed for distribution and transmission utilities, renewable operators, and industrial customers, DvM enhances operational efficiency, cybersecurity, and system resilience.

As Senior Product Manager, you will own product strategy, discovery, and delivery — working directly with customers and cross-functional teams to build solutions that solve real problems, deliver measurable outcomes, and shape the future of grid automation.

Key Responsibilities

Product Vision & Strategy

• 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.

Customer & Market Discovery

• 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.).

Product Definition & Delivery

• Lead the full product lifecycle — from concept and business case through requirements, development, launch, and post-launch iteration.
• Write crisp, outcome-focused product artifacts — opportunity canvases, PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria that communicate intent without over-specifying solutions.
• Work in close collaboration with commercial, engineering, design & delivery teams.

Go-to-Market & Sales Enablement

• 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.

Performance & Metrics

• 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.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 10+ 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.
• Familiarity with Agile and other NPI methodologies.
• Ability to work effectively with globally distributed, cross-functional teams; willingness to travel as required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience with electrical utilities, smart grid, device management, protection relays, SCADA, fault recorders, IoT, or industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850).
• Familiarity with AI/ML tools to enhance product management productivity and inform product capabilities
• MBA or advanced degree — highly desired

Desired Characteristics

• 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.

Join us to shape the future of grid automation and accelerate the energy transition.
