Job description

We are your Energy Technology Partner. We electrify, automate, and digitalize every industry, business, and home, driving efficiency and sustainability for all.

At Schneider Electric, our values – IMPACT (Inclusion, Mastery, Purpose, Action, Curiosity, Teamwork) – are the foundation of everything we do. Becoming an Impact Maker means turning sustainability ambitions into actions at the intersection of automation, electrification, and digitization.

Are you ready to lead the digital transformation to create a more sustainable world?

If you are up to challenge your creativity and make an impact, we are excited to welcome you!

Schneider Digital is the digital department of Schneider Electric, leading the digital transformation in the company by giving support globally to our internal teams and our clients. Schneider Digital consists of 6 Digital Hubs worldwide which are strategically located to ensure a 24/7 support across the company (France, China, India, USA, Mexico and Spain). Our Digital Hub in Barcelona is formed by +450 employees working in strategic projects and different roles such as Data, Cybersecurity, ERP, Cloud, Infrastructures, IT Project Management or Digital Marketing.

The DCR AI Operations team runs four interconnected workstreams — Transformation & Change, Value Realization, Solution Design, and AI Delivery — across a multi-phase delivery roadmap stretching from H2 2026 through 2027 and beyond. Coordinating this complexity, maintaining a coherent view of programme health, and ensuring decisions, risks, and milestones are managed with rigour requires dedicated, structured programme management support embedded within the Transformation stream from day one.

As the programme accelerates through Foundation Setup, Pilot Execution, and Phase 3 Deployment Readiness, the volume of activities and interdependencies will grow significantly. The PMO builds and maintains the programme's operational infrastructure — planning tools, reporting frameworks, governance rhythms, and documentation standards — that allow the programme to scale without losing coherence or control. The role acts as the connective tissue between workstreams, governance bodies, and senior stakeholders, translating programme complexity into clarity.

Organise governance cadence & manage decisions – Governance support role

• Design and operate the programme governance cadence: organise team syncs, working reviews, and executive steering committees with structured agendas, minutes, and action tracking.
• Prepare governance packs including programme dashboards, milestone status, risk registers, issue logs, and decision records for each forum.
• Track actions arising from governance meetings, follow up with owners to ensure accountability and closure; maintain and update the programme RACI matrix as roles evolve.

Manage risks, dependencies & programme documentation – Operational backbone role

• Maintain a live risk and issue log for the Transformation stream and broader programme, tracking status, owners, and mitigation actions; proactively surface emerging interdependencies to the Program Manager.
