Strategy Leader, Energy Transition

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct deep market, regulatory, policy, and competitive analyses across global energy transition segments.
• Engage directly with contractors, renewable developers, EV charging operators, grid operators, semiconductor manufacturers, OEMs, and regulatory stakeholders.
• Track and interpret emerging trends such as grid modernization, electrified transportation, load growth from AI and semiconductor manufacturing, and regional energy transition policies.
• Translate insights into actionable strategies that inform portfolio direction, investment priorities, and growth initiatives.
• Define segment-specific architectures, applications, and differentiated value propositions for new energy sources, new electrical loads, and power generation and grid-connected/behind-the-meter systems.
• Reimagine the innovation roadmap to address high-power and high-efficiency conversion, power quality, resiliency, and grid-interactive solutions, and power electronics and semiconductor-based technologies (SiC, GaN).
• Drive alignment across platforms, solutions, and regions to ensure a cohesive energy transition strategy.
• Partner with Engineering, Innovation, Product Management, Commercial, Segment, and Regional leaders to align strategy from concept to commercialization.
• Mobilize cross-divisional teams to unlock synergies across generation, distribution, charging, storage, and digital solutions.
• Champion collaboration across regions, strategic accounts, and innovation hubs in a matrixed, multinational environment.
• Act as a strategic integrator connecting technology roadmaps, customer needs, and corporate priorities.
• Evaluate and optimize GTM models for energy transition markets, including utilities, EPCs, developers, OEMs, EV infrastructure providers, and global enterprise customers.
• Assess standards, codes, and policy frameworks (e.g., IEEE, IEC, UL, grid interconnection standards, EV charging standards).
• Translate strategic insights into targeted commercial strategies that enable differentiated and accelerated market penetration.
• Identify and develop strategic partnerships and alliance opportunities across the energy transition ecosystem.
• Support M&A scouting, synergy assessment, and investment case development for emerging growth adjacencies.
• Facilitate leadership decision-making on build-buy-partner trade-offs.
• Contribute to enterprise-level strategy initiatives related to electrification, decarbonization, grid resilience, and digital energy systems.
• Support executive leadership and Board-level discussions with clear strategy narratives, growth scenarios, and technology perspectives.
• Represent the energy transition strategy internally and externally with senior stakeholders.
