About The Position

The Product Manager - LV & MV Switchgear leads portfolio strategy and execution for LV switchgear/switchboards and MV switchgear offerings in an EOEM environment. You will bridge technical depth with commercial ownership in a spec-driven and project-influenced market. You will translate VOC into requirements, guide platform direction, and improve manufacturability, lead times, and profitability across commercial, industrial, oil & gas, data centers, and renewables.

Requirements

Minimum of 5 years in power distribution product management/product line management within an EOEM; direct experience with LV and MV switchgear strongly preferred.
Experience operating in specification and bid-driven environments with EPCs and consultants/specifiers.
Strong cross-functional leadership across engineering, operations, supply chain, quality, and commercial teams.
Ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly to internal and external stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field; MBA a plus.
Experience with CTO/ETO product structures, configuration rules, and factory test requirements.
Familiarity with applicable standards (UL/IEC/IEEE/NEMA as relevant to the product portfolio).
Exposure to digital/connected switchgear capabilities (metering, monitoring, communications, diagnostics).

Responsibilities

Own multi-year roadmap for MV and LV switchgear platforms: technology evolution, ratings coverage, modularity, and option strategy.
Lead VOC with specifying engineers, EPCs, end users, channel partners, and internal application engineering; convert insights into MRDs/PRDs.
Translate segment requirements into product strategy (e.g., uptime and maintainability for data centers; harsh environment performance for oil & gas; ruggedness and serviceability for industrial; footprint and code compliance for commercial; interconnect/protection integration for renewables).
Partner with engineering, test, and quality to deliver compliant, safe, reliable designs; manage trade-offs across performance, cost, and schedule.
Drive configuration discipline to balance flexibility with manufacturability; reduce non-standard engineering where possible.
Collaborate with operations to improve factory throughput, first-pass yield, and test flow; support DFM/DFA and standard work.
Partner with supply chain to mitigate long-lead and constrained components; qualify alternates and manage obsolescence.
Enable bid and spec selling: positioning, differentiators, competitive intelligence, configuration guidance, and sales/application tools.
Own sustaining priorities: field issues, product improvements, revision control, and end-of-life transitions.
Develop go-to-market and enablement content: one-lines, selection guides, configuration playbooks, training, and segment narratives.
