About the role

Company Overview:

Schneider Electric is a global leader in energy management and automation, committed to providing innovative solutions that ensure Life Is On everywhere, for everyone, and at every moment. Ecostruxure Building Activate is responsible for designing, implementing, and delivering high-quality software and solutions to monitor and control [energy/HVAC/lighting/building systems] for small and medium buildings. We are expanding our team in Gurugram and looking for a senior Product Manager to drive product strategy and lead its execution.

Job Description:

As a senior Product Manager, you will lead the definition and prioritization of product strategy to ensure alignment with strategic business goals and customer needs. You will translate market insights, customer feedback, and technical feasibility into a cohesive product roadmap, and guide cross-functional and Agile teams in executing against it. This role focused on strategic ownership of the product — driving go-to-market direction, stakeholder alignment, and value creation — while also contributing to the growth of a small team supporting the product line. You will work on complex matters requiring in-depth product management expertise and broad industry understanding, exercising independent judgment to navigate ambiguous, high-impact situations.
