How to Apply for Senior Product Manager
at Arcadia
🏢 About Arcadia
Arcadia is uniquely positioned at the intersection of clean energy and technology, using data-driven solutions to decarbonize the grid. Unlike traditional energy companies, they're building a platform that enables seamless customer migration from legacy systems to modern energy data products. Working here means directly contributing to climate change solutions while working on complex technical challenges.
About This Role
This Senior Product Manager role focuses specifically on migrating customers from legacy products to Arcadia's newer platform, requiring both strategic roadmap creation and hands-on feature adaptation. You'll be responsible for data migration workflows and refining legacy features for the new system. This role is impactful because successful migration directly enables Arcadia to scale its clean energy data products and accelerate grid decarbonization.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves coordinating with engineering teams on legacy feature adaptations, meeting with customers to understand migration challenges, and refining product initiatives based on data pipeline constraints. You'll balance strategic roadmap planning with hands-on problem-solving for specific customer data migration issues while ensuring alignment across product, engineering, and data teams.
