How to Apply for Lead Product Manager

at EnergyHub

About EnergyHub

EnergyHub is a leading provider of distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS), empowering utilities and their customers to build a clean, resilient, and sustainable energy future. The company's platform connects utilities with smart thermostats, solar inverters, EV chargers, and other DERs to optimize grid operations and unlock new value. Working at EnergyHub means being at the forefront of the energy transition, solving complex technical problems that have a direct impact on decarbonization.

About This Role

As the Lead Product Manager for Utility Integrations, you will own the strategy and execution of how EnergyHub's platform connects with critical utility operational systems such as CIS, ADMS, and Grid DERMS. You will lead a cross-functional team to transform fragmented utility data models and processes into a coherent integration strategy, enabling seamless data exchange and automation. This role is pivotal in building trust with utility clients and unlocking the full potential of DERs for grid reliability and customer engagement.

A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve leading a stand-up with engineering to unblock an API integration, meeting with a utility client's IT team to discuss security requirements, and collaborating with sales to scope a new integration opportunity. You'll also spend time analyzing data models and reviewing technical documentation to ensure seamless connectivity between EnergyHub and utility systems. Throughout, you'll balance strategic thinking with hands-on problem-solving to drive the integration roadmap forward.

Who EnergyHub Is Looking For

  • 7+ years of product management experience, with a focus on enterprise software integrations, preferably in the energy or utility sector.
  • Deep understanding of utility operational systems (CIS, ADMS, DERMS) and their data models, security requirements, and integration challenges.
  • Proven track record of leading complex, technical integrations from concept to launch, working closely with engineering, sales, and client success teams.
  • Strong technical acumen and ability to communicate effectively with utility IT and operations teams, as well as internal stakeholders.
  • Experience with API design, system architecture, and data mapping between disparate systems; familiarity with industry standards like OpenADR, IEEE 2030.5, or CIM is a plus.
