How to Apply for Senior Product Manager

at EnergyHub

🏢 About EnergyHub

EnergyHub is a unique cleantech company that specifically focuses on empowering utilities to manage distributed energy resources through virtual power plants (VPPs). Unlike broader energy companies, they specialize in the critical intersection of utility operations, electric vehicles, and grid stability, making them a key player in the clean energy transition. Someone might want to work there to directly contribute to scaling sustainable energy solutions and have a tangible impact on decarbonizing the grid.

About This Role

This Senior Product Manager role involves owning the product strategy and roadmap for EnergyHub's VPP solutions with a specific focus on electric vehicle integrations. You will be responsible for uncovering insights and defining products that help utilities manage EV loads as grid assets, directly impacting the company's core mission of enabling clean, distributed energy. The role is impactful because successful EV-VPP products are critical for grid stability as EV adoption grows.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve analyzing data from EV charging sessions to identify grid optimization opportunities, collaborating with engineering and utility partners to refine integration requirements for a new automaker, and prioritizing roadmap features based on hypotheses about customer value and grid impact. You'd likely spend time documenting product specs, reviewing user research on utility operator needs, and strategizing on how to unlock new VPP use cases through EV partnerships.

🎯 Who EnergyHub Is Looking For

  • Has 6+ years of software PM experience with a proven track record of taking an EV management or VPP software product from concept through launch and scaling.
  • Possesses deep, hands-on experience in EV software domains such as telematics, charging management, EV driver apps, or utility EV programs (e.g., managed charging, V2G).
  • Is highly analytical with experience validating new business models or products through customer economic analysis, A/B testing, and data-driven hypothesis testing.

📝 Tips for Applying to EnergyHub

1

Explicitly quantify your experience with EV software or VPPs in your resume—mention specific products, platforms, or utility programs you've worked on and their outcomes.

2

Tailor your application to show you understand the 'utility VPP' context; avoid framing your EV experience only from an automotive or consumer app perspective.

3

Prepare a concise portfolio example (even if just described) of a product you owned from concept to launch in the EV/energy space, highlighting how you validated hypotheses.

4

Research and reference EnergyHub's existing EV partnerships (e.g., with Ford, GM, etc.) in your materials to show you've done your homework on their integration strategy.

5

Highlight any experience with the economic analysis of customer or grid benefits, as this is directly mentioned in the requirements snippet.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
