As the leader of this business segment, you will manage cross-functional teams across geographies, ensuring the successful delivery of projects, alignment with business objectives, and fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration.

This is a leadership position focused on business strategy, project delivery, and team management, rather than on technical execution.

Key Responsibilities:

Global Leadership & Strategy:

  • Lead and define the strategic direction for the HVDC Valve business across multiple regions.
  • Develop and execute long-term goals to position the company as a leader in the global HVDC valve market.
  • Work closely with senior leadership to align the HVDC valve business with corporate objectives and broader energy transition goals.


Team Leadership & Development:

  • Manage a high-performing global team, providing mentorship, coaching, and development opportunities to drive performance and employee engagement.
  • Foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and excellence across the global HVDC valve team.
  • Ensure alignment of cross-functional teams including engineering, supply chain, procurement, and customer support to ensure successful product and project delivery.


Customer Engagement & Market Positioning:

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with key customers, stakeholders, and partners, acting as a senior leader and ambassador for the HVDC valve business.
  • Oversee the development of customer solutions that align with their needs, leveraging the company's products, services, and expertise.
  • Monitor market trends, competitor activity, and customer demands to inform strategic decision-making and product offerings.


Project Oversight & Operational Excellence:

  • Ensure the successful execution of global HVDC valve projects, meeting project deadlines, budgets, and performance targets.
  • Work closely with the Project Management Office (PMO) to ensure the efficient delivery of large-scale HVDC projects, mitigating risks and addressing challenges proactively.
  • Drive operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness across the global HVDC valve production and delivery process.


Innovation & Technology Leadership:

  • Stay informed of emerging trends in HVDC technology and energy sector advancements, helping shape the company’s future product roadmap and innovation strategy.
  • Promote a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging new ideas and innovative solutions that enhance the performance of the HVDC valve product line.


Required Qualifications:

  • Proven experience in global leadership roles, with at least 10+ years in the energy or power systems industry, exposure to HVDC technology or related fields would be advantageous.
  • Strong track record of managing high-performing global teams and driving operational success across multiple regions.
  • Exceptional business acumen with experience in strategic planning, business development, and P&L responsibility.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills with experience in engaging senior executives, customers, and cross-functional teams.
  • Experience with managing complex, large-scale projects and global product lines.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and drive alignment at all organizational levels.


Desirable Qualifications:

  • Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field.
  • A deep understanding of the global HVDC market, including key industry trends, competitors, and regulatory environments.
  • Previous experience in product management or global business development within an OEM environment, ideally within the HVDC or renewable energy sector.
  • Familiarity with supply chain management and procurement in the context of large-scale energy infrastructure projects.
