How to Apply for Senior Product Manager (Platform)

at PVcase

🏢 About PVcase

PVcase is revolutionizing solar design with AI-powered software that maximizes yield and reduces carbon footprints globally. As a fast-growing B2B SaaS company with a remote-first EU culture, it offers the chance to work on cutting-edge clean energy technology alongside a mission-driven team.

About This Role

As Senior Product Manager (Platform), you'll lead the Product Trio to define and build platform and ecosystem products from 0-to-1, driving product-market fit in B2B SaaS. This role is impactful because you'll shape the foundational platform that enables solar developers to design more efficient projects, directly accelerating the global energy transition.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day starts with a sync with the Product Trio to review customer interview findings and refine the roadmap. You'll then run a pilot customer call to validate a new API feature, followed by a design review with Engineering on an AI-driven recommendation engine. After lunch, you analyze usage metrics to track product-market fit signals and prioritize the next sprint, ending with a stakeholder update on platform adoption.

🎯 Who PVcase Is Looking For

  • Proven 0-to-1 product management experience in B2B SaaS, ideally with platform or API-first products.
  • Expert in customer discovery interviews, able to convert insights into validated roadmaps and customer commitments.
  • Data-driven and commercially sharp, with experience defining and hitting product-market fit metrics.
  • Embraces AI in product development, both in workflow and in identifying user-facing AI features.

📝 Tips for Applying to PVcase

1

Highlight specific 0-to-1 platform products you've launched, including metrics like adoption or revenue.

2

Showcase your experience with structured customer interviews—mention a specific framework (e.g., Mom Test) and a win.

3

Tailor your resume to emphasize API-first strategies and ecosystem thinking, even if from adjacent domains.

4

Demonstrate AI fluency: mention tools you use (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot) and ideas for AI features in solar design.

5

Focus on outcomes over outputs; use examples where you ruthlessly prioritized to achieve product-market fit.
