Job summary

GE Vernova seeks a New Business Industrialization Leader to manage a portfolio of venture-like opportunities in incubation, turning technologies and customer problems into scalable businesses within an industrial framework.

The role covers the full venture-building arc—from customer discovery to commercial commitments, product and industrialization planning, and staged funding decisions—requiring strategic, financially rigorous leadership.

Qualifications

Significant leadership experience building, scaling, financing, commercializing, or transforming new businesses.
Experience moving from customer discovery through pilots, initial commercial commitments, product launch, industrialization, or scale-up.
Experience negotiating complex partnerships, commercial agreements, investment structures, or strategic transactions.
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience required.

Responsibilities

Shape the portfolio thesis across direct air capture and emerging power and energy-transition opportunities.
Evaluate opportunities based on customer need, market attractiveness, strategic fit, differentiation, capabilities, economics, and risk-adjusted value.
Balance near-term learning with long-term options; identify portfolio gaps and concentration risks.
Set venture charters, owners, hypotheses, milestones, decision gates, and evidence standards; tie staged funding to measurable risk reduction.
Lead reviews that drive explicit accelerate, pivot, partner, integrate, hold, spin out, or stop decisions.
Engage priority customers through discovery, pricing tests, pilots, and commercial experiments; validate demand through paid commitments or contracts.
Define product-market fit, beachhead segments, buying centers, adoption barriers, routes to market, and scalable business models.
Build and pressure-test business cases covering pricing, volume, margin, cash, capital, industrialization cost, risk, partner economics, and exit paths.
Build partnerships and negotiate fit-for-purpose commercial, development, licensing, investment, supply, and channel arrangements while protecting IP, learning rights, flexibility, and economics.
Convert validated concepts into executable product, sourcing, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, installation, service, and project plans; determine what to own, partner, outsource, license, or acquire.
Plan the transition to scale while managing technical, commercial, legal, regulatory, capital, supply-chain, execution, reputational, and talent risks; elevate issues with clear evidence and concise executive recommendations.
