What impact you will have

You will join the Product Sales & Marketing Team as the end-to-end business leader for a standard, off-the-shelf Modular Power POD product line. The Power POD is a prefabricated containerized solution integrating power and cooling infrastructure for high-density, liquid-cooled AI deployments (container, power transformer, RMU, UPS, CRAC/CRAH, batteries, power cabinets and optional chillers). You will act as a “mini-GM” for this product line, owning market insight, product strategy, roadmap and financial performance (P&L) from concept to end-of-life. The role combines strong MEP understanding with business, negotiation and stakeholder-management skills to deliver safe, code-compliant, cost-effective and repeatable Power POD solutions.

• Define standard configurations and option packs with controlled customization.

• Own the product lifecycle of the Power POD from introduction, growth, maturity to end-of-life,
