How to Apply for Senior Product Manager

at EnergyHub

🏢 About EnergyHub

EnergyHub is unique as a leading platform that transforms everyday consumer devices like smart thermostats and EVs into virtual power plants, directly supporting grid stability and renewable energy integration. They're at the forefront of the clean energy transition, working with utilities to create a more sustainable distributed energy future. This makes them an ideal workplace for mission-driven professionals who want tangible impact in the climate tech space.

About This Role

This Senior Product Manager role focuses specifically on building EnergyHub's client-facing admin platform for managing distributed energy resources (DERs). You'll be responsible for uncovering insights from analytics and user research, defining and prioritizing features, and balancing long-term strategic bets with short-term improvements. The role is impactful because the platform directly enables utilities to optimize DER participation, which is critical for grid reliability and accelerating renewable energy adoption.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve analyzing utility client usage data from the admin platform to identify pain points, collaborating with solutions engineering on a client feature request, prioritizing the product backlog with engineering based on grid impact potential, and conducting user interviews with utility operators to validate a new workflow hypothesis. You'd balance deep platform strategy work with responsive client support across multiple time zones.

🎯 Who EnergyHub Is Looking For

  • Has 5+ years of software PM experience with proven ability to break down complex problems in energy/utility or IoT domains, not just general tech
  • Possesses specific knowledge of electric utilities, modern grid management tools, or DERMS (Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems)
  • Demonstrates experience influencing cross-functional teams including engineers, data scientists, sales, and client success in a B2B or utility context
  • Shows ability to conduct meaningful user research with utility clients and translate findings into platform improvements that address real grid challenges

📝 Tips for Applying to EnergyHub

1

Explicitly highlight any experience with utility clients, DERMS platforms, or IoT energy devices in your resume summary - don't bury this in job descriptions

Quantify your impact in previous roles using metrics relevant to EnergyHub's space: grid optimization, customer adoption rates, platform scalability, or utility client satisfaction

3

Research EnergyHub's specific utility partners (like ConEd or SRP) and mention how your experience aligns with their use cases in your cover letter

4

Prepare 1-2 specific ideas for improving utility admin platforms based on current industry challenges like managing EV charging loads or battery dispatch

5

Use EnergyHub's terminology from their website - 'virtual power plants,' 'DER participation,' 'grid services' - to show you speak their language

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your specific experience with utility clients or energy IoT platforms and how it prepares you for their client-facing admin platform', 'Examples of breaking down complex problems in regulated industries and delivering measurable business impact', 'Your approach to balancing long-term platform strategy with short-term client data requests and feature improvements', "Why you're passionate about EnergyHub's mission of enabling distributed clean energy and how your product philosophy aligns"]
