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.

  • 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.
