🏢 About PVcase

PVcase is revolutionizing solar design with cutting-edge software that maximizes energy yield and reduces carbon footprints globally. As a remote-first company, it offers a unique opportunity to work on sustainability-focused products that have real environmental impact, while being part of a fast-growing team in the renewable energy tech space.

About This Role

As Senior Product Manager (Platform), you'll lead the product trio to define strategy and build a sequenced roadmap for platform products, including API-first solutions. Your work will directly enable solar developers to design more efficient projects, making a tangible difference in the fight against climate change while driving product-market fit from 0-to-1.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a standup with the product trio to review progress, followed by a customer discovery interview with a pilot user to validate a new pain point. Afternoon could involve collaborating with engineering on API design decisions, reviewing product metrics dashboards, and ending with a prioritization session for the next sprint.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't focus on B2C or non-platform experience – this role is specifically B2B SaaS platform/API.
  • Avoid generic statements about being 'data-driven' without concrete examples of metrics you've moved.
