The energy transition is gaining momentum – Decentral Energy Resources are expected to grow sevenfold by the end of the decade. Power grids had not been built for this scenario, but they have to cope with this new situation and must not become the bottleneck. Building new lines requires money, time and political consensus – and cannot solve the challenge alone. Increasing transport capacity by software is a very smart and effective measure in this context.
We are seeking a Product Manager to drive our software product portfolio for grid operator companies to securely increase high voltage grid capacity – and to capture this emerging market opportunity. This includes particularly the concepts of Dynamic Line Rating and Dynamic Security Assessment.
The product manager acts as the entrepreneur for her/his products and ensures they are providing a highly attractive customer value proposition:
- Understand power grid customer workflows in detail and anticipate future needs in the light of technical and regulatory trends
- Continuously and proactively monitor competition
- Engage with leading customers worldwide to validate pain points, solution approaches and their business value
