How to Apply for Senior Product Manager

at PVcase

🏢 About PVcase

PVcase is revolutionizing solar design through software that maximizes yield and reduces carbon footprints globally, positioning itself at the intersection of climate tech and enterprise SaaS. Their focus on disrupting traditional CAD-based workflows in the solar industry makes them unique, offering the chance to work on products with tangible environmental impact while serving enterprise customers worldwide.

About This Role

This Senior Product Manager role involves defining multi-year strategy for Ground Mount products, balancing disruptive innovation with enterprise stability to defend market leadership. You'll lead technical discovery sessions with solar engineers, build data-driven roadmaps, and impact key business metrics like Net Revenue Retention (NRR) and Lifetime Value (LTV) through cross-functional leadership of Engineering, Design, and QA teams.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve leading a technical discovery session with solar engineers to understand AutoCAD workflow challenges, analyzing user behavior data to prioritize feature requests against long-term strategy, and collaborating with Engineering and Design teams on solutions that balance innovation with stability. You'd regularly make trade-off decisions justified by both quantitative metrics and qualitative feedback from enterprise customers.

🎯 Who PVcase Is Looking For

  • Has 5+ years B2B SaaS PM experience with 2-3 years specifically focused on growth, retention, or managing mature products at scale in enterprise environments
  • Demonstrates proven track record of driving measurable business impact through product decisions, with strong analytical capabilities using product analytics tools and A/B testing
  • Possesses deep understanding of B2B SaaS unit economics and how product decisions directly impact revenue, retention, and customer acquisition metrics
  • Has experience navigating technical platform constraints (like AutoCAD) and deconstructing complex workflows through direct engagement with technical users

📝 Tips for Applying to PVcase

1

Quantify your impact on NRR, LTV, or retention metrics in previous roles using specific percentages and timeframes

2

Highlight any experience with CAD software, engineering workflows, or technical products where you've had to understand platform constraints

3

4

Prepare specific examples of how you've used both quantitative user behavior data AND qualitative feedback to justify roadmap trade-offs

5

Show understanding of PVcase's market position by referencing their competitors (like Aurora Solar) and explaining how you'd defend/expand their leadership
