The Opportunity

The energy industry is transforming at an unprecedented pace. As customers seek greater reliability, resilience, efficiency and sustainability from their critical infrastructure, digital technologies are redefining how service value is delivered.

Hitachi Energy is seeking an exceptional Global Digital Service Solutions Lead to shape and accelerate the future of digital services across our global Service Business.

Reporting to the Head of Global Product Group, BU Service, this highly visible leadership role will define and drive the strategy, development and commercialization of innovative digital solutions that support customers throughout the lifecycle of their assets.

This opportunity is ideally suited to a proven global leader who has successfully scaled digital solutions and led complex transformation initiatives within industrial, energy, infrastructure or technology-driven environments.

Candidates are welcomed on a global basis. The role could be based from multiple locations, however, the typical working pattern will be largely European timezone based.

• Collaborate closely with product management, engineering, technology, sales, marketing and service teams to deliver integrated customer solutions.
• Foster innovation across the organisation by building strategic partnerships both within Hitachi Energy and across the wider Hitachi Group.
• Lead, coach and inspire teams and stakeholders within a complex global matrix environment.
• Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, influencing strategic decisions and driving transformational change.

Your Background

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Technology, Business or a related discipline.

• Strong understanding of service business models, field service operations and installed base management.
• Demonstrated success influencing senior stakeholders and driving strategic initiatives across complex global matrix organisations.
• Strong commercial acumen with experience building business cases, growth strategies and customer value propositions.
