Department Overview
Pacific Gas & Electric’s Information Technology (IT) Department is a world class organization of Product Managers, Product Owners, System Architects, Software Development Engineers, and Operations professions who invent, ship, and support technology services that enable PG&E to serve our mission to deliver safe, reliable, affordable, and clean energy.
IT’s Enterprise Data Analytics & Insights (DA&I) org owns and operates several data software services. One service makes it easy for any data consumer at PG&E to gain access to their data, and rapidly generate operational insights themselves. A second service creates and delivers insights directly to internal customers, who are but not limited to PG&E’s functional areas (FA), e.g., Electric, Gas, and Customer lines of businesses. DA&I’s services help FA operators make decisions in PG&E’s public facing programs such as Public Safety Power Shutoff and Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (EPSS).
Position Summary
DA&I is witnessing unprecedented demand for data services. We are seeking a Principal level, Product Manager (PM) to support our growth: serving each and all client demands, internal operations, i.e., partnership functions, and informing investment decisions.
The Principal Product Manager is a Leadership Individual Contributor (IC) role. The Principal PM will serve equal functions in strategy, product management, and operations. Principals regularly engage in ambiguous environment. They define high level, move-forward strategies, but are equally responsible for diving into and auditing the details. You will create high-leverage, business artifacts (Docs, PPTs, Excels, etc.) that are reusable; you will use these artifacts to facilitate and drive alignment with leaders throughout PG&E. You must be proactive in identifying and documenting existing business process operations, and inventive in developing what a future and aspirational state can be. No task is beneath you. You will develop, socialize, and maintain an integrated DA&I Product/Services roadmap that links customers’ demand(s) with Enterprise Data Management, Enterprise Platforms, and Operation needs. You will play a meaningful role in shaping how our data investments serve PG&E’s True North Strategy.
DA&I PMs embody PG&E Virtues, each day we show up and, in every engagement we are present. The role is inherently cross functional. You must be a Trustworthy partner to PG&E’s FAs, working diligently to deliver Business Outcomes. Trust is not given, but it must be earned. You must be (infinitely!) Curious about how PG&E FAs operate, and Tenacious when helping them and all PG&E co-workers succeed. You are a PG&E Owner who operates Nimbly and are Empathetic, understanding we will not always have all answers upfront, but are committed to continuous improvement as we serve PG&E.
