Founding Product Manager

This is a unique opportunity to become the first dedicated Product Manager at a fast-growing clean energy technology company transforming how commercial real estate owners adopt solar and battery storage. You will build the product management function from the ground up, defining the roadmap, research practices, and decision-making frameworks that guide product development. Working closely with Engineering, Sales, Marketplace Operations, and leadership, you will turn complex customer needs into practical, high-impact solutions. You will own the product lifecycle from discovery and prototyping through delivery, measurement, and continuous improvement. With significant autonomy and a strong emphasis on AI-assisted workflows, you will help shape how a modern product team operates. Your work will directly support the expansion of clean energy infrastructure and the decarbonization of commercial buildings.

The ideal candidate is an experienced product leader who enjoys building from scratch, navigating ambiguity, and taking ownership of both strategic decisions and execution. You should combine strong product judgment with customer empathy, commercial awareness, and excellent written communication. The following qualifications are required or preferred:

• At least five years of product management experience in a startup or high-growth environment.

• Demonstrated ownership of end-to-end product cycles, from discovery and prioritization through delivery, launch, and performance measurement.

• Fluency in AI-assisted product development workflows, including the use of large language models (LLMs) to accelerate prototyping, synthesize research, and write product specifications.

• Strong visual and UX judgment, with the ability to shape intuitive product experiences in an environment without a dedicated designer.

• Excellent written communication skills, including the ability to document business context, customer needs, product requirements, and technical decisions clearly enough to minimize unnecessary clarification.

• Proven ability to own and defend a product roadmap, make difficult prioritization decisions, and influence stakeholders when resources are constrained.

• Strong business acumen, with the ability to evaluate trade-offs between customer value, technical feasibility, and commercial outcomes.

• Experience designing and conducting customer interviews, synthesizing qualitative feedback, and translating research findings into product priorities.

• A proactive, independent approach to problem-solving, with the ability to make sound decisions using incomplete information.

• Strong stakeholder management and collaboration skills, including the ability to align engineering, operations, sales, and leadership without creating unnecessary delays.

• Comfort challenging assumptions, exploring multiple solutions, making decisive recommendations, and adapting quickly when new evidence emerges.

• Genuine curiosity about emerging technologies and a willingness to rethink traditional product management practices as AI changes how teams build software.

• Motivation to contribute to clean energy adoption and meaningful progress toward decarbonizing the built environment.

• Include a cover letter explaining how your skills and previous experience align with the role and how you would contribute to building the product management function.

• Familiarity with two-sided marketplace business models and their operational dynamics.

• Experience in commercial real estate, legal technology, or other complex, transaction-based industries.

• Previous customer-facing experience in roles such as Customer Success or Sales.

• Experience as the first or sole Product Manager at a company, with a track record of establishing product management practices from the ground up.
