How to Apply for Product Manager II
at EnergyHub
🏢 About EnergyHub
EnergyHub is a mission-driven company at the forefront of the clean energy transition, offering a platform that manages distributed energy resources (DERs) like solar, batteries, and EVs. Working here means contributing directly to a sustainable future while collaborating with utilities to modernize the grid. The remote-first culture and focus on impact make it an attractive place for product managers passionate about climate tech.
About This Role
As a Product Manager II, you'll own and evolve EnergyHub's core platform, which orchestrates millions of DERs to balance grid demand and integrate renewables. Your work will directly influence how utilities manage energy resources, reducing carbon emissions and improving grid reliability. This role offers a blend of strategic thinking, data analysis, and cross-functional leadership to deliver features that scale clean energy adoption.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day starts with a standup to align with engineering on sprint progress, followed by analyzing DER performance data to identify optimization opportunities. You'll then meet with utility partners to gather feedback, collaborate with design on a new feature prototype, and wrap up by updating the product roadmap based on market research. The day balances deep focus on analytics with cross-functional syncs, all while keeping the mission of clean energy top of mind.

- Understands the electric utility industry or IoT domain, including familiarity with grid management concepts like demand response, DERMS, or SCADA systems.
- Excels at aligning cross-functional teams (engineering, design, data science, operations) without direct authority, using data and compelling narratives to build consensus.
- Possesses strong organizational and project management skills to balance long-term product bets with short-term iterative improvements, while analyzing data from user research, analytics, and market trends.
