About Energy Systems

We help customers navigate the complex transition to a decarbonized and more sustainable energy future. We do this by assuring that energy systems work safely and effectively, using solutions that are increasingly digital. We also help industries and governments to navigate the many complex, interrelated transitions taking place globally and regionally, in the energy industry.

About the role

We are looking for a Digital Product Portfolio Director to shape the future of DNV's portfolio of digital products and data-driven solutions supporting critical energy infrastructure.

This is a highly strategic leadership role for an experienced digital product professional who can operate across products, platforms, markets, and business lines. You will play a key role in helping DNV navigate the rapidly evolving energy landscape by ensuring our digital product portfolio continues to create value for customers, supports business growth, and strengthens our market position.

The digital portfolio has evolved over time through a number of independent products, each addressing specific customer needs and market opportunities. As the portfolio matures, there is a significant opportunity to create greater value by strengthening strategic alignment, leveraging shared capabilities, and adopting a more platform-centric approach. You will play a pivotal role in shaping this evolution, working with Product Managers to help transform a collection of successful products into a more cohesive, scalable, and market-leading product ecosystem.

What you will do

  • Define and own the long-term digital product portfolio and platform strategy, aligning investments, product direction, and platform evolution with business objectives, customer needs, and market opportunities.
  • Lead the transformation of independent product lines into a cohesive, platform-driven product ecosystem with a clear strategic identity, differentiated value proposition, and scalable operating model.
  • Challenge, coach, and mentor product teams, implementing professional product management practices and ensuring portfolio-wide alignment around customer value, business outcomes, and long-term growth objectives.
  • Drive portfolio investment, prioritization, and lifecycle decisions, balancing innovation, growth opportunities, platform development, modernization, and product rationalization.
  • Establish strategic governance across the portfolio, ensuring product roadmaps contribute meaningfully to the long-term portfolio vision while enabling alignment between product, technology, and business priorities.
  • Continuously assess portfolio performance to identify gaps, overlaps, risks, and emerging opportunities, recommending optimization actions that maximize customer impact, commercial value, and competitive advantage.
  • Serve as the principal strategic advisor to Product, Technology, and Business teams, challenging and influencing portfolio investment decisions, strategic priorities, and long-term direction through insight, credibility, and market expertise.

Success in this role requires a unique combination of digital product leadership, strategic thinking, commercial awareness, coaching and mentoring, and influence. You will partner with Product Managers, Technology leaders, Commercial teams, and senior stakeholders across the organization to guide decisions, challenge assumptions, and ensure the portfolio evolves in line with customer needs, market dynamics, and long-term business objectives.
