🏢 About Amber Electric

Amber Electric is unique as Australia's first fully dynamic electricity retailer, empowering consumers to save money and profit from green energy through real-time wholesale pricing and smart technology. They're disrupting the traditional energy market by making renewable energy more accessible and financially beneficial for households, offering a mission-driven environment focused on sustainability and innovation.

About This Role

This Senior Product Manager role involves leading end-to-end delivery of energy optimization solutions for Amber's B2B clients, from scoping through post-launch scaling. You'll serve as the primary client contact while coordinating internal tech, product, and commercial teams to ensure product success in-market, directly impacting how utilities and their end-users benefit from dynamic pricing and smart energy devices.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing real-time energy market data and client performance metrics, followed by coordinating with engineering teams on backlog priorities and client requirements. The afternoon could involve client meetings to discuss strategic goals, then working with commercial teams to align product delivery with business objectives, while continuously monitoring product quality and optimization opportunities.
