At Siemens, we help organizations transform maintenance and operations through connected insights, AI-powered technology, and intelligent asset management solutions. Our software enables customers to manage the full lifecycle of assets, facilities, and infrastructure while improving efficiency, reducing risk, and optimizing long-term investments. By connecting data, people, and processes, we empower organizations to make smarter decisions, maximize asset performance, and achieve more resilient operations.

Description:

Are you a visionary Product Leader with a passion for transforming how organizations manage the entire lifecycle of their assets? Do you thrive on shaping strategy, driving innovation, and making a tangible impact in multiple segments across manufacturing, education, and government facilities? If so, we invite you to become the Product Director within our Asset & Maintenance (A&M) portfolio —a pivotal individual contributor role that offers you the autonomy and influence to act across a range of products.

In this high-impact, global position, you will be the strategic force behind our asset management software and AI-powered solutions tailored for asset lifecycle management. You will own the end-to-end product lifecycle, from definition of the long-term vision and multi-year roadmap to ensuring successful execution and market adoption.

• Pricing and Packaging: Move beyond simple cost-plus pricing to value-based pricing and complex licensing models (e.g., transitioning from perpetual to subscription).
• Business Case Development: Build the financial justification for major investments, acquisitions, or pivots.

Go-to-Market (GTM) Leadership

• Sales Enablement at Scale: Partnering with global sales leaders to ensure the sales force can effectively position the product's value proposition.
• Ecosystem and Channel Strategy: Understanding how to leverage partners, integrators, and marketplaces to expand reach without linear headcount growth.

Organizational Influence and Stakeholder Management

• Executive Presence: The ability to distill complex product challenges into business risks and opportunities for the C-suite or Board.
• Cross-functional Orchestration: Aligning Engineering, Marketing, Sales, and Finance around a single "North Star" metric.
• Change Management: Leading the organization through transitions, such as adopting Agile at scale or shifting to a platform-centric model.

Data-Driven Governance

• KPI & OKR Frameworks: Defining the metrics that actually move the business (e.g., Net Revenue Retention, LTV/CAC) rather than just tracking feature velocity.
• Operational Excellence: Implementing the "Product Ops" necessary to keep a large organization running smoothly without constant manual intervention.

• Demonstrable experience in leading and influencing cross-functional teams from concept through successful delivery, without direct managerial authority. You can align diverse groups towards a common product vision.
• Communicates clearly, concisely, and proactively; surfaces risks early, navigates difficult conversations with candor and tact, and adapts complex information for different audiences.
