Uplight is creating a new category of energy. We make software that manages energy resources in homes and businesses—including things like smart thermostats, electric vehicles, solar panels, storage batteries, heat pumps, and even people’s behavior—to generate, shift, or save energy to balance the grid, making it more efficient and reliable. This creates clean energy capacity that can be used by the power grid instead of burning more fossil fuels. Our solutions accelerate the transition to clean energy and save money for energy customers

We are seeking a Product Lead / Senior PM to join our team and help us achieve our ambitious goals for our business and the planet. This person will lead our product innovation in bringing a strong, cohesive, intuitive experience to our utility client users in their visibility, management, and operation of the products we sell to them. This influential role sits at the intersection of supporting program managers, grid operators, and our internal admin teams, to drive maximum impact on grid flexibility.

What you get to do:

Develop and articulate a clear product strategy for our client and admin facing tools and products
Collaborate closely with engineering and design to shape strategy & roadmap, prioritize the most valuable problems to solve, and launch MVPs to quickly validate hypotheses in that strategy
Lead iterative product & design thinking to continuously measure, learn, and enhance user experience in our utility-facing products
Build a deep and data-driven understanding of customer needs, pain points, and real-life behaviors across programs.
Drive user research with clients at every stage of product development
Define, monitor, measure, analyze, and report on key metrics for your products
Partner closely with Designer, Engineers, fellow PMs & User Researchers, Marketers, Account Managers and more across the business to align on core user problems (or JTBD) and uncover shared opportunities together.

Growth-minded and well-versed in giving and receiving constructive feedback, with a commitment to collaborative problem-solving.
Experience building enterprise software (B2B and/or B2C).
Experience mentoring other PMs, acting as a player/coach. (Note: This is not a team lead or manager role)
Note: This role must be located on the East Coast or committed to working East Coast timezone hours, for meaningful overlap with our teams in India
