Job Description Summary

Energy is changing, and the products that run it must change faster. GE Vernova is seeking a Software and Controls Product Management Leader to bring software, controls, digital platforms, upgrades, and lifecycle solutions into one focused product portfolio. This leader will translate customer needs into clear product choices, connect strategy to disciplined execution, and build products that customers trust, teams can deliver, and the market will choose.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

• Define the product vision and portfolio strategy. Set and communicate a clear direction across software, controls, platforms, upgrades, and lifecycle solutions. Make explicit choices about where GE Vernova will invest, differentiate, partner, simplify, or stop.
• Build and govern one integrated roadmap. Connect customer priorities, technology direction, commercial opportunity, engineering capacity, product cost, quality, and lifecycle needs in a transparent roadmap with measurable outcomes and clear decision rights.
• Listen to and act on customer voice. Engage with established Voice of Customer channels, customer councils, Sales, Services, and regional teams to understand customer problems, priorities, and willingness to pay. Convert those insights into product requirements, portfolio choices, and measurable customer outcomes.
• Partner with the incubation team. Work closely with the incubation team to explore emerging opportunities, frame customer problems, test product concepts, and determine which ideas should advance into MVPs, pilots, partnerships, or the core product roadmap. Establish clear handoffs, success criteria, and accountability as concepts move from exploration to scale.
• Benchmark against emerging customer needs. Continuously compare the portfolio and roadmap with evolving customer expectations, market shifts, competitor offerings, new business models, and advances in software, AI, automation, data, and connected controls. Use those benchmarks to challenge assumptions, identify gaps early, and refresh priorities before the market moves.
• Improve product competitiveness and economics. Set product cost and margin objectives, simplify configurations, reduce unnecessary variation, and shape migration paths that improve quality, speed, customer value, and lifecycle economics.
• Lead launch and NPI excellence. Drive products from concept through MVP, pilot, industrialization, launch, adoption, and post-launch learning. Create disciplined decision gates, operating rhythms, ownership, and measurable launch criteria.
• Embed quality by design. Advance First Time Right thinking, Integrated Quality Plans, cybersecurity, reliability, and data-driven product governance across definition, design, release, and sustainment.
• Accelerate commercial growth. Partner with Sales, Services, Finance, and Business Development to improve win rates, expand recurring and multi-year revenue, strengthen value propositions, shape strategic alliances, and validate organic and inorganic growth opportunities.
• Build a modern product management organization. Clarify roles, strengthen talent, standardize product lifecycle practices, and establish the metrics, reviews, and accountability needed to improve speed, quality, Say/Do performance, and customer impact.

What Success Looks Like:

• Portfolio clarity: A focused strategy, prioritized roadmap, and explicit investment choices understood across Product, Engineering, Sales, Services, Finance, and Operations.
• Customer relevance: Product priorities reflect established VOC, emerging customer needs, market benchmarks, and validated customer value.
• Incubation to scale: A repeatable partnership with the incubation team moves the strongest concepts into MVPs, pilots, partnerships, or the core roadmap with clear evidence and ownership.
• Execution reliability: Improved Say/Do performance, disciplined MVP and NPI delivery, reduced time to value, and fewer late surprises.
• Quality by design: Quality, reliability, safety, and cybersecurity are built into product decisions from definition through sustainment.
• Stronger economics: Lower product cost, simpler configurations, reduced sustainment burden, improved margins, and greater capacity for innovation.
• Commercial impact: Improved win rates, stronger adoption, expanded recurring and multi-year revenue, and differentiated customer outcomes.
• Team effectiveness: An energized, accountable, customer-centered product organization focused on high-value work and enterprise outcomes.

Leadership Profile:

• Enterprise product leader with experience shaping industrial software, controls, automation, digital platforms, or other mission-critical technology portfolios.
• Strategic thinker who can simplify complexity, make hard trade-offs, and connect technical choices to customer and business value.
• Customer-centered leader who listens carefully, distinguishes signals from anecdotes, and turns insight into focused product decisions.
• Builder who can partner effectively with incubation and engineering teams to move ideas from exploration to validated MVPs and scaled adoption.
• Commercial thinker who understands pricing, margin, lifecycle economics, partnerships, recurring revenue, and portfolio value creation.
• Quality champion who treats reliability, safety, cybersecurity, and customer trust as product requirements, not downstream checks.
• Respected people leader who develops talent, creates clarity, challenges constructively, and builds alignment across global, matrixed teams.
• Modern technology leader who understands the practical potential of AI, software platforms, data, and connected control systems.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, business, or a related field; advanced degree preferred.
• Significant product management and leadership experience in industrial software, controls, automation, energy, or adjacent technology markets.
• Demonstrated success leading complex portfolios from strategy through commercialization and lifecycle management.
• Experience working across global, matrixed organizations and influencing senior technical, commercial, operational, and customer stakeholders.
• Strong communication, financial, analytical, and decision-making skills, with the ability to turn complexity into a clear course of action.

Why This Role Matters:

This is more than a portfolio role. It is an opportunity to shape how GE Vernova listens to customers, incubates new ideas, creates differentiated products, and scales the technology that helps power the world.
