How to Apply for Senior Product Manager

at Enode

🏢 About Enode

Enode is building the digital infrastructure for the green energy transition by creating APIs that connect renewable energy hardware. Their unique position at the intersection of climate tech and developer tools makes them a mission-driven company with technical depth. Working here means contributing directly to decarbonizing the electricity grid while solving complex platform challenges.

About This Role

This Senior Product Manager will transform Enode's customer platform from basic tooling into an operational intelligence layer that helps energy companies scale their fleets. The role is impactful because it directly reduces time-to-value for customers integrating with Enode's APIs while turning data into actionable insights that improve renewable energy deployment.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve analyzing customer integration metrics to identify friction points, collaborating with engineering on API design improvements, and synthesizing feedback from developer interviews into platform roadmap priorities. You'd balance strategic work on the operational intelligence layer with tactical improvements to documentation and sandbox environments.

🎯 Who Enode Is Looking For

  • Has 3+ years of B2B platform or developer tooling PM experience, ideally with API-first products
  • Can demonstrate technical literacy through examples of working with APIs, SDKs, and data pipelines in previous roles
  • Shows systems thinking through experience managing products serving multiple personas (e.g., developers, product managers, operations)
  • Bonus: Experience in energy tech, IoT, or hardware-software integration contexts

📝 Tips for Applying to Enode

1

Quantify how you've reduced 'time-to-value' in previous platform roles - Enode specifically mentions this metric in their job description

2

Showcase experience with developer enablement tools like sandboxes, documentation systems, or testing frameworks

3

Demonstrate how you've turned ambiguous use-cases into concrete features, as this is explicitly mentioned in the platform strategy responsibility

4

If you have energy sector experience, highlight it prominently; if not, show how your platform experience translates to hardware-software integration challenges

5

Include specific examples of establishing feedback loops with developer personas - this is a core requirement for the Voice of the Customer responsibility

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your experience with B2B platform products and how you've managed the journey from 'sign up' to 'first live use case'", 'Specific examples of building analytics that helped customers make evidence-based decisions (treating data as a product)', "How you've balanced backend complexity with frontend usability when serving multiple personas", 'Your motivation to work at the intersection of climate tech and developer tools']
