SVP – Product and Markets — Renewables Construction Book

The mandate

Customer and operating evidence now point to a product portfolio that no longer maps cleanly to customer economics within a multinational-owned infrastructure developer and asset operator. The immediate arena is the renewables construction book during a balance-sheet rotation. For mandate 328, the successful executive inherits decisions that have been deferred, competing stakeholder expectations and a need to establish facts before committing further capital.

The SVP – Product and Markets operating perimeter covers approximately AED 18,000 million in project and operating-asset portfolio, with activity spanning several renewables construction book customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The SVP – Product and Markets Infrastructure remit carries direct influence over roughly 775 colleagues and third-party capacity.

The board and its investment committee want a SVP – Product and Markets who can convert ambiguity into a short list of explicit choices for the renewables construction book. The SVP – Product and Markets Infrastructure seat must resolve a balance-sheet rotation, while preserving the underlying strengths of the renewables construction book. For mandate 328, value will come through sharper allocation, stronger leaders and an operating cadence that exposes variance early.

The SVP – Product and Markets’s first year on the renewables construction book is expected to end with portfolio focus, adoption and lifecycle profitability. In mandate 328, authority covers resources and leadership appointments; material trade-offs go directly to the board sponsor.

Why this seat is open

This is a newly created SVP – Product and Markets — Renewables Construction Book seat, established because a balance-sheet rotation now requires one accountable executive rather than distributed ownership. The board has classified the appointment as urgent and intends to move from qualified shortlist to offer within 6–8 weeks. Interim governance protects the renewables construction book, but it is not a substitute for a permanent appointee. The external search remains confidential to avoid unnecessary disruption before the appointment is agreed.

What you will own

• Set the SVP – Product and Markets value-creation thesis for the renewables construction book, translate it into no more than five enterprise priorities and stop work that does not support them.
• Carry stewardship of approximately AED 18,000 million in project and operating-asset portfolio, including allocation, risk acceptance and board forecasts.
• Lead the SVP – Product and Markets Infrastructure organisation of about 775 employees and partners, appointing a team with clear decision rights and credible succession for every critical seat.
• Resolve the renewables construction book economics and execution constraints created by a balance-sheet rotation, with SVP – Product and Markets-approved owners, dated milestones and transparent escalation thresholds.
• Establish one SVP – Product and Markets operating review across commercial, customer, financial, people, technology and risk outcomes for the renewables construction book; remove reconciliations that obscure accountability.
• Show end-to-end ownership of a material platform or value stream, including budget, talent and measurable operating outcomes in mandate 328.
• Build the SVP – Product and Markets’s three-year succession and capability plan for the renewables construction book, reducing dependence on individual executives and improving mobility across the wider Infrastructure organisation.

The first 12 months

• Days 1–90: Validate the renewables construction book baseline, meet the 30 stakeholders most consequential to a product portfolio that no longer maps cleanly to customer economics, assess the leadership team, stabilise immediate delivery risks and agree a board-owned scorecard with explicit decision gates.
• Months 4–9: Make the principal SVP – Product and Markets portfolio and organisation choices for the renewables construction book, install the new operating cadence, fill critical leadership gaps and deliver the first measurable release of cash, capacity or customer value.
• Months 10–12: Demonstrate a repeatable renewables construction book trend against portfolio focus, adoption and lifecycle profitability, lock the following year’s capital and talent plan, evidence control sustainability and present a credible three-year value case with downside actions.

What the board will measure

• Delivery of the SVP – Product and Markets’s agreed first-year renewables construction book value case within a 10% tolerance, with variance explained before rather than after the relevant quarter closes.
• A SVP – Product and Markets forecast that remains decision-useful across three consecutive quarters and reconciles the renewables construction book’s operating, cash, customer and people assumptions.
• Closure of the SVP – Product and Markets mandate’s highest-priority renewables construction book risk and execution issues by their board-approved dates, with independent evidence that fixes are sustained.
• Retention of at least 90% of critical renewables construction book talent and ready-now successors for at least 70% of the SVP – Product and Markets’s direct reports.
• A quantified SVP – Product and Markets-owned improvement in the renewables construction book operating constraint behind a balance-sheet rotation, supported by a clean baseline and named data owner.
• Clear stakeholder confidence in mandate 328: no unresolved high-severity escalation older than 30 days and no material surprise withheld from its agreed governance forum.

The person

You are currently a SVP Product, Product Line GM or Commercial Product Head in a multinational-owned Infrastructure or adjacent enterprise. In relation to the renewables construction book, your SVP – Product and Markets track record includes a transition where the original plan was no longer sufficient; you can explain your choices, evidence and numerical impact. Candidates from infrastructure, construction, utilities, transport assets or project finance will be considered where the operating model, customer stakes and governance intensity match this SVP – Product and Markets brief.

As a SVP – Product and Markets candidate, you bring 22–28 years of progressive Infrastructure or adjacent-sector experience, consistent with the 22-28 experience band. At minimum, you have carried a P&L, book, budget or accountable portfolio of AED 10,450 million and led an organisation of at least 550 people.

For mandate 328, the board wants two transitions: a difficult renewables construction book portfolio choice and a leadership-system change during a balance-sheet rotation. As the prospective SVP – Product and Markets for this renewables construction book, you must challenge optimistic cases and still create followership. References for mandate 328 must distinguish your contribution from the institution around you.

Non-negotiables

• One completed Infrastructure or adjacent-sector example of a product portfolio that no longer maps cleanly to customer economics with outcomes sustained for at least two reporting periods after the initial intervention.
• Sector credibility from infrastructure, construction, utilities, transport assets or project finance; experience that is purely functional and lacks SVP – Product and Markets-level renewables construction book consequences will not meet the bar.
• Willingness to meet the Dubai location expectation, complete conflicts and background diligence, and protect the confidentiality of mandate 328.
