Who You'll Work With: Our Delivery teams help organizations of all kinds redefine what's possible, give shape to the future-and get there.

Our teams go beyond the expected to help clients move confidently through ambiguity and risk and drive more transformative outcomes.

• Translate business needs into well-defined product concepts, features, and releases, with a strong focus on AI, machine learning, and data visualization for business improvement
• Break down complex solutions into prioritized features and capabilities that align to business value and delivery readiness
• Own product and POD-level roadmaps, balancing execution needs with long-term product and portfolio strategy
• Prioritize solutions and features within releases, making clear trade-offs across scope, timing, and value
• Group and frame related solutions into transformational business concepts rather than isolated point solutions
• Partner closely with developers, data scientists, and engineers to ask informed questions, challenge assumptions, and validate solution approaches
• Translate technical constraints, dependencies, and risks into clear, business-understandable impacts and options
• Lead and influence cross-functional teams without direct authority, driving alignment and accountability toward shared outcomes
• Manage stakeholder relationships across discovery, requirements definition, testing, and organizational change management (OCM) activities
• Communicate effectively with program leaders and executives by:
• Clearly surfacing risks, issues, and blockers
• Converting detailed plans and roadmaps into executive-ready summaries and narratives
• Engage senior business and IT leaders to align priorities, secure decisions, and maintain trust and transparency

What You'll Bring:

• Strong product management and/or product ownership experience in complex enterprise environments
• Demonstrated ability to define and manage product portfolios and roadmaps
• Proven capability to evaluate business problems and shape value-driven, outcome-focused solutions
• Experience balancing near-term delivery execution with long-term product and program strategy
• Strategic mindset with strong decision-making and prioritization skills
• Ability to understand technical solutions well enough to challenge teams constructively without being a hands-on developer
• Excellent communication, storytelling, and stakeholder-management skills
• Comfort operating across multiple altitudes - from delivery detail to executive discussions
• Utilities experience is highly preferred
