About This Role
This Senior B2C Product Manager will lead two teams focused on logic, algorithms, and grid complianceโserving as the strategic anchor for the platform's core intelligence. You'll translate complex backend systems into intuitive frontend experiences while driving user engagement through continuous discovery. The role bridges technical complexity with user value, empowering B2B partners through API management and consultation on end-user journeys.
๐ก A Day in the Life
A typical day involves morning syncs with your two product teams across EU time zones, reviewing algorithm performance metrics and grid compliance updates. You'll spend time analyzing user research data to identify savings opportunities, then collaborate with engineering on API improvements for B2B partners. The afternoon might include strategy sessions on translating backend complexity into frontend simplicity and consulting with partners on their implementation progress.
