Program Manager - AI Transformation & Workforce Strategy

Role intent: Be the transformation engine that helps Schneider Electric anticipate, adopt and scale agentic AI across software product engineering work, skills, teams, economics and operating models.
About Schneider Electric and the transformation
Schneider Electric is accelerating the transformation of Energy Management through software, services, digital capabilities and AI-powered innovation.

Within Energy Management, the Software & Services Division brings together a large global software product engineering population and plays a central role in shaping the next generation of connected, intelligent and software-defined offers.

Generative AI and agentic AI are now reshaping how software is designed, developed, tested, secured, operated and continuously improved.

The opportunity is broader than individual productivity: it requires rethinking software product engineering workflows, team composition, skills, career paths, governance, economics and value realization.

To address this strategic shift, Schneider Electric is launching a transversal program hosted in the Software & Services Division, with a mandate to understand and anticipate the impact of agentic AI on software product engineering jobs and ways of working across Energy Management.

The program will be supported by BCG and sponsored by the Software & Services CTO leadership.
The opportunity
We are seeking a strategic and execution-oriented transformation leader to establish and drive Schneider Electric's AI Transformation and Workforce Strategy agenda for software product engineering.

This role will act as the central orchestrator of a multi-year transformation across technology, people, operating model and value realization.

The successful candidate will work closely with CTOs, engineering leaders, product leaders, HR, Schneider Digital, Finance and external partners (consultants) to move the organization from AI-assisted development toward AI-enabled and agentic software product delivery.

The role requires the ability to connect technology strategy with workforce transformation: understanding how software product engineering work changes, how teams evolve, which capabilities need to be built, what value is created, and how adoption can be scaled sustainably across a diverse global software product engineering population.
