A Snapshot of Your Day 
Digital Grid Innovation and Business Development is a strategic unit within Digital Grid, focused on driving growth through strategic portfolio management, partnerships/M&A, and accelerating innovation (Innovation Management, AI Lab, Future Grid Lab), while ensuring strategies and objectives translate into execution across DG segments.
As PMO Manager – Strategic Projects, Technology & Innovation, you will shape and steer DG IBD’s strategic project landscape by establishing strong governance, transparent reporting, and effective operating rhythms. You will partner with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams to drive strategic initiatives end-to-end—from intake and prioritization to execution steering, risk management, and measurable outcomes—while enabling innovation-focused programs to progress with clarity, speed, and accountability. This role blends hands-on program leadership with PMO governance and enablement, supporting DG IBD’s mission to advance innovation and strategic growth across Digital Grid.


How You’ll Make an Impact 

• Lead and coordinate DG IBD strategic initiatives (portfolio, partnerships, technology & innovation-oriented) from scoping through execution, drive workplan definition, milestones, dependencies, and decision points; ensure delivery against agreed objectives with clear ownership and cadence
• Establish and run a lightweight but effective PMO governance: intake, prioritization support, status reporting, executive-ready dashboards, and decision preparation. Facilitate recurring operating rhythms (steering committees, review boards, cross-team syncs), ensuring action tracking, escalation handling, and closure of open items. 
• Implement proactive risk management across strategic initiatives: identify, assess, mitigate, and escalate risks early; track dependencies across teams and portfolios. Ensure lessons learned and best practices are captured and adopted to improve execution maturity over time. 
• Coordinate cross-functional contributors (R&D, product, portfolio, finance, marketing/communications as needed) to ensure initiatives remain outcome-driven. 
• Translate complex program status into clear, concise storylines and materials for senior stakeholders; prepare decision papers, progress updates, and executive readouts. 

What You Bring 

• Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business, or comparable field; advanced degree (Master/MBA) is a plus. 
• Several years of experience in PMO/program management/strategic project execution in a technology, innovation, digital, or industrial environment. 
• Analytical mindset with proficiency in project tracking tools and data visualization.
• Proven capability to operate in cross-functional, multicultural organizations, driving alignment and outcomes without formal authority. 
• Strong command of project governance, milestone planning, and stakeholder steering; ability to create transparency and structure across multiple initiatives. 
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English (German is a plus depending on location); ability to craft executive-ready narratives
• Familiarity with agile ways of working and hybrid delivery models in software/technology environments (Scrum/Kanban/SAFe concepts). 
• Exposure to energy industry digitalization topics (e.g., grid software, automation, digital twins, IIoT) and/or innovation ecosystems and partnerships.
