Job Description Ignite the next wave of energy innovation Puget Sound Energy's Data & AI organization turns advanced analytics, automation, and modern AI into measurable outcomes. We're seeking a hybrid Program / Product leader and people manager who can turn a busy idea backlog into a reliable delivery engine, lead project managers and managed-services partners, and prove value with adoption and ROI.

Why PSE Scope that matters : this role spans the entire Data & AI portfolio. Real runway : multi-year investment and executive sponsorship. Mission impact : reduce outage minutes, advance clean energy, elevate customer experience. Team you'll enjoy : low-ego, high-ownership operators who measure success by shipped value.

What you'll do Own the entire PSE AI portfolio : from intake to prioritization to MVPs / POCs / Pilots to adoption and ROI. Lead the team : hire / coach PMs; set goals; run peer reviews; raise / lower the bar; grow careers. Direct managed-services / contingent staff : capacity plans, SOWs, milestones, acceptance criteria. Run one delivery playbook : clear cadence, single source of truth dashboards, audit-ready governance, crisp decision rights. Ship outcomes, not pilots : pick the few bets that matter, land them in production, scale what works. Financial stewardship : build business cases; manage CapEx / O&M re-baseline when facts change; explain variance to execs. Responsible and fast : embed lineage, privacy / security, and Responsible-AI checkpoints without slowing delivery. Stakeholder alignment : run decision-oriented SteerCos; bring options with trade-offs; secure approvals and unblock quickly. Continuous improvement : shorten time-to-value; standardize SOW milestones and acceptance; retire low-value tracks.

Who you are Portfolio owner who has juggled multiple programs, vendors, and budgets under real deadlines. Product-minded PM who moves ideas to MVPs to adoption with measurable ROI. People-first leader who levels up PMs, aligns vendors to outcomes, and keeps execution tight in regulated environments. A clear communicator who makes complex topics simple for executives and engineers alike. How you'll work Cross-functional squads (product, data engineering, UX, cybersecurity) with hyperscaler / consulting partners (e.g., Azure Fabric & Purview, AWS, Accenture). Modern tooling (ADO; Power BI; Airtable; lineage / governance via Fabric / Purview or similar). Officer visibility and sponsorship; regular forums to show progress and scale wins.
