at Omnidian

🏢 About Omnidian

Omnidian is a fast-growing cleantech company that provides 24/7 solar system monitoring and advanced diagnostics, enabling sustainable energy reliability. Its focus on commercial solar and energy storage, particularly for third-party ownership (TPO) business lines, makes it a unique player at the intersection of renewable energy and data-driven asset management.

About This Role

As Senior Product Manager for Commercial Business, you'll own the product roadmap for the TPO business line, driving value for providers and financing partners. You'll lead development of cutting-edge battery storage monitoring capabilities and identify growth opportunities in adjacent C&I energy markets, directly impacting Omnidian's commercial expansion.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a cross-functional stand-up with engineering and data science teams to review progress on battery storage monitoring features. Mid-morning, you'd analyze P&L data and client feedback to refine the TPO product roadmap, followed by a call with a financing partner to align on pricing strategy. Afternoons could involve deep-dive research into adjacent C&I energy markets and preparing for the Monthly Business Review presentation.

🎯 Who Omnidian Is Looking For

  • Has 5-8+ years of product management experience in high-growth tech or renewable energy, with a proven ability to scale B2B products from concept to market.
  • Possesses deep expertise in commercial solar and/or energy storage, understanding industry dynamics, regulatory nuances, and customer pain points.
  • Demonstrates strong financial acumen, with direct experience in product pricing strategy and revenue management using complex financial models.
  • Excels in partner-led environments, with a track record of collaborating with TPO providers, financing partners, and cross-functional teams to deliver impactful solutions.

4

Include a brief case study or portfolio link demonstrating how you took a B2B energy product from concept to scale.

Address the contract nature upfront – express flexibility and enthusiasm for project-based work, and highlight relevant contract or consulting experience.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't be generic about renewable energy – show specific knowledge of commercial solar and storage, not just residential.
  • Avoid vague claims about 'leading products' without concrete metrics or outcomes – quantify your impact.
  • Don't ignore the contract nature – if you're only interested in permanent roles, reconsider applying; if you're open, state it clearly.
