OVERVIEW
Our client is seeking a Product Manager to own the evolution of their EV charging software platform.
You will sit between Sales, Engineering, Operations, and Leadership, translating customer requirements and market insights into a clear, prioritized product roadmap — and then driving execution to bring new products, functionalities and services to market.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can operate comfortably in a hardware + software + energy environment and who is excited by the opportunity to apply AI and data-driven insights to a mission-critical infrastructure platform. This is a remote-first position that will require some time on-site (based on the business need). We have a strong preference for candidates with a background in clean tech, especially EV charging.
This is a full time role with a salary range of 120-140k USD
Not C2C eligible, must be able to work in the US without sponsorship
