Senior Program Manager – Energy Flexibility Management System

Join Schneider Electric and shape the future of energy flexibility

As electrification accelerates, renewable energy penetration increases, and power systems become increasingly complex, Schneider Electric is investing in a new generation of software solutions to help customers access cleaner, more resilient and more affordable energy.

The Energy Flexibility Management System (EFMS) is a strategic initiative supporting Schneider Electric's vision for the future energy landscape. EFMS combines Artificial Intelligence, Energy Management, Distributed Energy Resources orchestration and advanced optimization capabilities to help industrial sites, critical infrastructure and data centers manage their energy consumption and production in real time.

The solution enables customers to:

• Optimize energy costs and carbon footprint.
• Increase resilience and operational continuity.
• Maximize renewable energy utilization.
• Participate in grid services and flexibility programs.
• Accelerate their decarbonization journey.
• Better manage increasingly complex energy ecosystems.

To support the development and industrialization of this strategic offer, we are looking for an experienced Senior Program Manager who will drive execution across a highly distributed international ecosystem.

Your Role

As Senior Program Manager, you will be responsible for orchestrating the end-to-end delivery of the EFMS roadmap, ensuring alignment between business strategy, product vision, architecture, development, validation and customer commitments.

You will operate at the intersection of Product Management, Engineering, Architecture and Agile Delivery, ensuring that a distributed Team of Teams consistently delivers value while maintaining predictability, quality and execution excellence.

This role combines elements of Program Management, Agile-at-Scale leadership and stakeholder orchestration in a highly visible strategic program.

• Monitor delivery predictability and support informed decision making.
• Ensure alignment between scope, schedule, quality and business priorities.
• Drive execution while maintaining focus on customer value.

Manage Complex Cross-Functional Dependencies

• Coordinate dependencies across software, AI, energy optimization, analytics and automation domains.
• Ensure synchronization between product, architecture, development and validation organizations.

• Influence without direct authority.
• Build consensus across organizations with different objectives.
• Facilitate difficult trade-offs and prioritization decisions.
• Align business, product and engineering stakeholders around common goals.
• Maintain delivery focus while managing organizational complexity.

This role requires excellent political awareness, strong interpersonal intelligence and the ability to operate effectively in ambiguity.
