About the Role
The NPI Program Manager – PAC will lead the execution of New Product Introduction programmes across the Protection, Automation and Control portfolio within Grid Automation and Software. This is a programme execution role, focused on overseeing a portfolio of product development projects from early assessment and project initiation through to commercial launch.

Coordinate launch readiness activities, including manufacturing readiness, training, documentation, certifications, product data, service enablement and commercial release. Support the transition from development into sustaining operations.
