Global Head of Technology Management

A Snapshot of Your Day

Join our Grid Technologies Product Management (GT PRM) team and take the helm of our global technology innovation agenda. You begin your day reviewing critical developments across Portfolio 2035, identifying technology opportunities, gaps, and acceleration levers. You translate these insights into clear priorities with Execution Units and R&D leads. Throughout the day, you collaborate closely with innovation specialists, product owners, engineering experts, and external partners to drive rapid prototyping and fast test‑and‑learn cycles that bring disruptive grid technologies to life. You and your team refine the GT Technology Radar and Roadmap, ensuring future‑focused clarity and alignment with Siemens Energy’s long‑term strategy. You also evaluate strategic M&A and partnership opportunities that could speed up technology development, reduce time‑to‑market, or fill capability gaps. You close your day by preparing executive recommendations that blend internal innovation, external technology scouting, and investment decisions – ensuring GT stays ahead in shaping the global energy transition.
