Your role is critical in shaping the future of energy. Our team is tasked with developing new technologies, products, experiences, and business models to lead the energy transition and create value for our customers and our business. The team is running a number of community battery initiatives and we have launched a virtual storage product to customers. The next phase of the program includes operationalising the end-to-end processes, increasing marketing activity, developing the customer journey and experience, and evolving and growing the product range and strategic roadmap.

Your Responsibilities will include:

• Leading all aspects of product development, delivery, operations, and evolution, defining the product strategy and roadmap.  

• Critical analysis of in-market product performance, driving product evolution to match customer/market needs, creating the most scalable suite of offerings.  

• Managing and coordinating outcomes across multiple teams, ensuring alignment to a defined strategy.  

• Pitch our strategy and products to internal management and external stakeholders, driving the awareness and support required to grow a scale business.  

What will you bring? 

We are looking for someone with a passion for delivering customer value and exceptional customer experiences. You should have deep product development and management experience, both digital and non-digital, exceptional communication skills, and the ability to translate complex concepts into easy sound bites.

You should also have: 

• Exceptional presentation and pitching skills.
