Systems Solutions Manager

Join the world's largest HVAC company! We are seeking a visionary Systems Solutions Manager (SSM) to define and champion the future of Daikin Applied’s integrated HVAC system solutions and manage energy modeling support and tool development strategies. This is a high-impact role for a systems thinker who thrives at the intersection of engineering, customer insight, and market influence. The SSM will own the development of a compelling systems narrative—internally and externally—translating complex HVAC capabilities into differentiated, customer-centric solutions.

Leveraging deep expertise in HVAC system design and a nuanced understanding of customer challenges, this leader will identify and orchestrate the critical system-level attributes, technologies, and service offerings that together deliver value far beyond individual components. This includes defining integrated system approaches such as heat pump–based electrification, hybrid plant architectures, and smart, connected HVAC systems that deliver measurable outcomes in energy efficiency, sustainability, IEQ, and building performance.

This position will additionally be responsible for management of corporate energy modeling strategy, including modeling support structure, tool development and deployment. Starting from a clear strategic vision aligned with Daikin’s core strengths, the SSM will shape and influence the roadmap for next-generation technologies, products, and integrated solutions. Working with a high degree of autonomy, this role will develop strategic frameworks and guidance that inform innovation priorities and accelerate execution across the organization.

Equally important, the SSM will bring these solutions to life in the market—creating compelling content and thought leadership that educates, engages, and influences customers. By clearly articulating building-level outcomes and total system value through qualitative story-telling, as well as through quantified energy modeling examples, the SSM will elevate Daikin’s position as a trusted solutions partner. This role intersects with the entire solution lifecycle—from ideation and strategy through stakeholder alignment, development, and go-to-market deployment.

The SSM will act as a trusted subject matter expert (SME) in HVAC systems, partnering closely with marketing, sales, product, and leadership teams to drive alignment, enablement, and business impact. This is an exceptional opportunity for a leader who combines technical depth, strategic vision, and storytelling excellence to shape the future of HVAC system solutions.
