Your role and responsibilities

In this role, you will have the opportunity to shape the Large UPS portfolio as a Product manager and drive return on investment for ABB’s Power Protection business. Each day, you will ensure ABB has a full understanding of data center market requirements (e.g., modular  blocks, containerized solutions, centralized static bypass) and transform those requirements into offer specifications and development activities. You will also showcase your expertise by performing various offer lifecycle activities, supporting development, launch, maintenance, pricing, and profitability—while meeting aggressive cost-per-kW targets and sustainability commitments.

• Conducting valuation of market size and trends, competitor benchmarking (including reverse-costing), and identifying offering gaps to strengthen ABB’s market standing. 

• Ensuring technical solutions (e.g., modular architecture, centralized bypass) can be leveraged across the portfolio to maximize reuse and scalability. 

• Managing technical specifications for assigned products and supporting business cases for new developments, cost reduction, and lifecycle transitions. 

• Driving design-to-cost initiatives to achieve low kW targets without compromising quality or compliance. 

• Coordinating IEC/UL certification pathways, sustainability deliverables (EPDs, circularity), and preconfigured solution codes for priority regions. 

• Maintaining clear communication in PO Syncs, Big Room Planning, and publishing roadmap updates to stakeholders.
