Job Description

Help shape the control systems behind the energy transition

You join a team working on some of the most advanced technologies in the power industry. As Product Manager Control Systems Algorithms you help define the algorithms that sit at the heart of high-voltage direct current and grid stability solutions supporting the integration of renewable energy strengthening power networks and enabling a more reliable energy future.

In this role you set the direction for a portfolio of control system algorithms used across complex grid applications. You bring together market needs technical strategy and product thinking to create scalable high-performing solutions that meet the changing needs of electricity networks around the world.

This is a hybrid role and can be based in Stafford United Kingdom with additional opportunities in Berlin Germany; Issy-les-Moulineaux or Villeurbanne France; or Tampere Finland.

What you will do

You lead the strategy roadmap and lifecycle of control systems algorithms across a broad portfolio of grid technologies.

You will:

• Define and drive the roadmap for algorithm capabilities across transmission and grid stability solutions

• Shape a product approach that improves reusability consistency and scalability across multiple applications

• Translate market trends customer needs and future grid requirements into clear product priorities

• Partner with engineering system architecture research and development and commercial teams to align product direction

• Own product-level requirements and help ensure clear traceability from solution need to delivered capability

• Guide lifecycle management from development and release through support and retirement

• Support strong product documentation configuration management and governance

• Use feedback from projects service teams and quality insights to improve performance and reliability

• Contribute to technology decisions investment planning and long-term portfolio competitiveness

• Help represent the business in industry and standards discussions where relevant

The impact you will make

Your work directly influences the performance flexibility and future readiness of critical grid technologies.

By building a strong and scalable algorithm portfolio you will help:

• improve grid reliability and stability

• create solutions that can be reused across technologies and markets

• strengthen product competitiveness and long-term business value

• accelerate innovation in a fast-changing energy landscape

What you will bring

You bring strong product systems and technical leadership experience in power system controls or closely related technologies.

You are likely to have:

• Substantive experience with control systems algorithms in power transmission grid stability or related energy applications

• Strong understanding of software-led product development and requirements management

• Experience working across complex cross-functional technical environments

• The ability to connect detailed technical topics with broader product and business goals

• Confidence influencing stakeholders across engineering product and commercial teams

• A structured approach to roadmap planning prioritisation and lifecycle management

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences

It would be helpful if you also have experience with modelling or simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink or PSCAD or with product collaboration tools such as Jira and Confluence but these are not essential if you bring strong relevant capability.

Why join us

You take on a role with real strategic and technical influence at a time of major change in global energy systems. You will have the opportunity to shape product direction work with expert teams across multiple countries and contribute to technologies that are central to cleaner more resilient power networks.

You will join an environment that values collaboration innovation and continuous improvement where your ideas can help define what comes next.
