About the role

  • You will join the Product Sales & Marketing Team as the end-to-end business leader for a standard, off-the-shelf Modular Power POD product line.
  • The Power POD is a prefabricated containerized solution integrating power and cooling infrastructure for high-density, liquid-cooled AI deployments (container, power transformer, RMU, UPS, CRAC/CRAH, batteries, power cabinets and optional chillers).
  • You will act as a “mini-GM” for this product line, owning market insight, product strategy, roadmap and financial performance (P&L) from concept to end-of-life.
  • The role combines strong MEP understanding with business, negotiation and stakeholder-management skills to deliver safe, code-compliant, cost-effective and repeatable Power POD solutions.
  • Understand customer needs for standard Modular Power PODs combined with high-density liquid-cooled racks and tanks products developed at Submer: Translate market needs into scalable, repeatable product definitions.
  • Engage with datacenter operators, hyperscalers, colos, micro DCs, EPCs, and integrators to define what “off-the-shelf but configurable” means in practice.
  • Analyze competing containerized power/cooling solutions and reference architectures to identify differentiation and white space for the Power POD line.
  • Define and own the Modular Power POD vision, roadmap and portfolio evolution.
  • Ensure alignment with the tank, rack and DLC roadmaps, so that customers can buy coherent end-to-end, liquid-ready bloc solutions.
  • Own the business case and P&L for the Power POD product line.
  • Define pricing structures for PODs and discount rules with Finance and Sales, securing margin in large AI infrastructure deals.
  • Monitor revenue, gross margin, configuration mix and pipeline; drive corrective actions when the Power POD line deviates from objectives.
  • Translate market and project requirements into Power POD standard product specifications: Define standard configurations and option packs with controlled customization.
  • Own the product lifecycle of the Power POD from introduction, growth, maturity to end-of-life.
  • Support Sales on Power POD deals, configuration, sizing, compliance and trade-offs.
  • Contribute to standard offer documentation, RFQ templates, tender responses, reference designs and TCO/value arguments for containerised power/cooling blocks.
  • Enable scalable GTM through standard offers, documentation and training sales channels, partners and internal teams on the Power POD catalogue.
