Senior Customer Portfolio Manager

A Snapshot of Your Day In North America, emerging customer segments are entering the market and investing in multiple power generation units. Unlike traditional utilities or independent power producers, these customers often have limited technical and project execution experience. As a result, Siemens Energy requires a more tailored, coordinated, and consistent engagement model across product lines and throughout the full business lifecycle—from acquisition to project execution and long‑term service. Role Overview Reporting directly to the Head of Gas Services North America, this role serves as the enterprise‑level interface for strategic customers managing complex, multi‑unit portfolios. You will align Siemens Energy’s approach across internal business units and product lines, ensuring consistent messaging, coordinated delivery, and proactive issue resolution. While accountability for project execution and P&L remains with the respective execution units, this role connects stakeholders early, identifies risks and gaps, drives alignment, and escalates critical topics when needed, ensuring a seamless, customer‑centric experience across Siemens Energy’s diverse internal structure. How You’ll Make An Impact Serve as the primary senior leadership interface for key customers, representing a unified Siemens Energy enterprise perspective across all engagements. Build and maintain strong, strategic relationships across all customer levels, including executive leadership, to enable long‑term partnership success. Establish and maintain structured executive engagement frameworks, including meeting cadence, agendas, stakeholder alignment, and action tracking. Drive cross‑functional alignment across product lines and lifecycle phases (sales, project execution, and long‑term service) to ensure consistent messaging and coordinated delivery. Develop a deep understanding of customer strategy, market dynamics, and operating environment to align Siemens Energy capabilities with evolving customer needs. Identify and pursue incremental growth opportunities across products, services, and solutions, including lifecycle offerings, scope expansion, and portfolio standardization. Support both short‑term customer priorities and long‑term strategic planning, ensuring alignment with industry trends and business objectives. Facilitate and support commercial discussions and contract negotiations, ensuring clarity of scope, alignment of expectations, and delivery feasibility. Monitor project execution performance by proactively identifying risks, recommending improvements, and escalating concerns early to mitigate potential disputes. Manage customer concerns and complaints with a proactive, solution‑oriented approach, minimizing escalation and navigating formal processes effectively when needed. Escalate issues internally in a timely, fact‑based manner with clear options, while maintaining accountability with execution leadership. Continuously assess and improve execution models to enhance operational effectiveness and customer satisfaction. Act as a trusted advisor to Gas Services North America leadership, providing strategic, operational, and organizational insights to support business growth and continuous improvement.
