Manager, Innovative & Emerging Solutions

The Data Management and Analytics Product Management team supports the development and implementation of software tools used both internally and externally across the organization. These tools vary in size and technical complexity and are built on a range of platforms and applications. They help drive operational efficiency, support wildfire risk reduction, improve system reliability, ensure regulatory compliance, and enable the successful delivery of electric engineering projects.

The Innovative and Emerging Technology Manager leads a team of skilled technical product and project managers to deliver high‑value analytics and data products that support the strategic objectives of the Electric Engineering and Operations teams. This role is responsible for defining product strategy, shaping the technical architecture for scalable and effective product development, and ensuring seamless integration of solutions into existing and new processes.

The manager will collaborate closely with data analysts, data engineers, GIS analysts, program leads, external vendors, and leadership to develop innovative, data‑driven solutions. A strong understanding of emerging technology is critical to the role, including AI/GenAI, machine learning fundamentals (supervised & unsupervised), neural networks and deep learning, natural language processing and computer vision, and remote sensing. The ideal candidate will also think strategically about whether we should build or buy technical solutions, what features and applications will support client needs, will possess strong problem‑solving abilities, and demonstrate a proven ability to build and maintain client relationships.

This position is hybrid, working from your remote office and the Oakland General Office twice a week.
