at Anza RE

🏢 About Anza RE

Anza RE is uniquely positioned at the intersection of renewable energy and procurement technology, specifically optimizing supply chains for solar and energy storage projects. Their mission to accelerate renewable energy adoption through smarter procurement makes them a purpose-driven company in a high-growth sector. Working here means contributing directly to scaling clean energy infrastructure while solving complex B2B platform challenges.

About This Role

This Senior Product Manager role focuses on evolving the Supplier Platform from its current state to a robust system capable of handling increased volume and variety, specifically for solar and energy storage supply chains. You'll be defining the roadmap while balancing architectural integrity with feature velocity, and deconstructing workflows to build reusable 'Supplier Core' components. This role is impactful because it directly enables faster deployment of renewable energy projects through optimized procurement.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning syncs with Pacific Time Zone engineering teams on API layer decisions, followed by stakeholder meetings with procurement teams to understand solar component sourcing challenges. Afternoons could be spent creating user flows for supplier onboarding or analyzing patterns across feature requests to identify reusable 'Supplier Core' components, all while keeping the platform roadmap aligned with renewable energy project acceleration goals.
