  • Portfolio strategy ownership: Defining segmentation, positioning, and go-to-market strategies, as well as leading product roadmaps and footprint decisions

  • Market intelligence and innovation: Monitoring technology trends, competitor activities, and customer needs to continuously evolve offerings, including services and digital capabilities

  • Cross-functional collaboration: Working closely with engineering, sales, and application teams to ensure consistent messaging and strong execution

  • Customer engagement: Interacting with key customers to gather insights, strengthen relationships, and incorporate feedback into product development

  • Enablement and training: Supporting internal teams with marketing materials and training to ensure a strong understanding of the value proposition across the organization

Your background

To succeed in this role, you bring:

  • A university degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering (a business degree is a plus)

  • Strong industry knowledge of transformers and tap changers, including services and monitoring solutions

  • 7+ years of experience in areas such as Product Management, Sales & Marketing, Engineering, Project Management, or Service in a global environment

  • Demonstrated ability to build and manage B2B relationships and partnerships

  • A results-oriented mindset, combined with strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills
