[Remote] Senior Product Manager — Energy Utility Platform (m/f/d)

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. 1KOMMA5° is a company focused on creating a sustainable energy future through innovative technology. They are seeking a Senior Product Manager for their Energy Utility Platform to define product roadmaps, execute hands-on strategies, and collaborate with engineering and operations teams to shape the future of energy products. The role requires navigating complex regulatory environments while delivering measurable outcomes in energy market access and product optimization.

Responsibilities

• Define and own the product roadmap for key areas of the Energy Utility Platform — energy market access, flexibility marketing, procurement, and the optimization layer connecting devices to markets — with a relentless focus on shipping and measurable outcomes
• Be hands-on in execution: write specs, run discovery sprints, prioritize backlogs, unblock engineering — this is not a strategy-only role
• Shape the energy products of the future: direct marketing, expanded flexibility participation, and new forms of customer market access — while tackling the regulatory and infrastructure challenges that make them possible
• Collaborate closely with Energy Operations (domain experts, regulatory context) and engineering to ensure product decisions are grounded in market reality
• Navigate complex regulatory environments (German energy market, MaKo, grid fee structures, metering) and translate them into actionable product requirements
• Balance product thinking with the discipline to solve hard infrastructure problems — you need both
• Report to the Director Product Heartbeat AI and contribute to portfolio-level strategy decisions
• Ensuring alignment between the Energy Utility Platform and the consumer-facing Heartbeat App (pricing display, customer transparency, product activation)
• Establishing KPIs and monitoring for energy product health (procurement accuracy, market participation, SLA adherence)
• Managing stakeholder expectations across engineering, Energy Operations, commercial, and leadership

Skills

• 3+ years of Product Management experience, with meaningful exposure to energy, utilities, or similarly regulated platform/infrastructure products
• Track record of strong product execution — you've shipped complex features end-to-end and driven measurable outcomes
• Solid understanding of energy markets, tariff structures, energy trading, or energy retail operations — this is a requirement, not a nice-to-have
• Experience driving platform or product builds in regulated environments — coordinating across engineering teams and navigating regulatory constraints
• Strong analytical skills: comfortable with data-driven decision-making and product metrics
• Good stakeholder management: you can navigate engineering, commercial, and operations conversations with confidence
• Exceptional communication skills in English; German is a strong plus (many stakeholders are German-speaking)
• Based in Germany or willing to relocate — this role requires presence in the German energy market context
• Willingness to work in a fast-paced, scaling environment where ambiguity is the norm
• Experience with energy trading, flexibility marketing, or balancing markets (TSO/DSO interaction, scheduling, balancing pool management)
• Understanding of how optimization/dispatch systems interact with market participation (e.g., demand-side flexibility, virtual power plants)
• Knowledge of specific regulatory frameworks (EnWG, MaKo, REMIT, MsbG)
• Familiarity with data-heavy architectures (event-driven systems, IoT data pipelines, forecasting)
• Previous experience building 0→1 products in regulated industries

Benefits

• You are part of an international, dynamic, and highly motivated team of people who have proven to make things happen
• With your work, you accelerate the "energy transition" and hence have a direct impact on our climate
• Work with and learn from other super-smart colleagues
• You will enjoy direct contact with core decision-makers
• You will enjoy the best chances of entering full-time in one of Europe’s most thriving scaleups
• You work remotely (Germany-wide), with offices in Hamburg, Berlin or Munich
• Create a healthy balance alongside your work and enjoy all the benefits of the EGYM Wellpass
• Benefits and discounts are yours with Futurebens
