Product Manager

Description Gridium’s mission is to hasten the transition to a low-carbon economy. Our software helps people run commercial buildings better, at lower cost and with less energy. None of that works without trustworthy data. Gridium’s analytics platform is fueled by data. Every recommendation we make, every dollar of energy we help a customer save, every analytic in our platform rests on accurate energy data pulled from hundreds of utilities and renewable energy systems for solar and battery storage. The data does not come easily, and the person who masters it has outsized leverage over everything Gridium does. Get it right, and you are cutting energy use at a scale that actually matters for the planet. About the Job We are seeking a full-time Data Product Manager to lead how Gridium acquires and protects its energy data. This is a deeply technical role with real autonomy and a wide platform to leave your mark on the industry. We are deployed in thousands of commercial buildings and growing fast, and you will own the point in the system where the most interesting problems live: turning real-world utility and energy data into something our engineers can reliably and efficiently build on. At its heart, this role is about unlocking reliable energy data for our customers. We work across a complex set of hundreds of utilities, each with its own portal, billing, metering, tariff data, and quirks. Becoming the person who knows this terrain cold, how a given utility exposes a given resource, what data is really available, and how to get at it, gives you leverage over everything else we do. It is the foundation our product is built on, and you get to own it. That understanding produces several things. The most visible are the specs, a major tent pole of the role, but not the only one. You will also protect the large surface area of integrations we already run, ensuring our teams have the tools to maintain our data quality and organizing efforts to improve our integrations over time. And you will be the company's source of truth on what each integration can and cannot support. Getting a single integration right means digging until you understand how to get the data reliably, what it means, and what customers actually need from it. And there is real satisfaction in being the one who figures it out. The systems we collect data from change often, presenting unique challenges, so if you love a puzzle, you will be right at home. And you will not be doing it alone: you will work with a small, tightly knit group of very talented engineers, a Data Operations team partnering with you, and modern AI tooling to move fast. Please come curious. The person who thrives here chases down what is not obvious without being told where to look, and treats "I don't know" as the start of an investigation rather than the end of one. Responsibilities Investigate the non-obvious: dig into utility portals, renewable energy data, system configurations, tariff structures, and customer needs. Master what each utility exposes: the data available and how we map this data into our product features. Author implementation-ready integration specs, with enough detail for engineers to build cleanly, including the edge cases that matter. Partner with engineering throughout the build, running standups, answering questions, maintaining Jira, so development is never blocked. Close the loop: confirm that delivered data matches the spec before an integration is considered done. Proactively protect the existing integration surface area: triage problems with live integrations, find out why they are failing or producing gaps, and prioritize the fixes with engineering. Partner with Data Operations to identify recurring data quality patterns and drive systemic improvements, not just one-off fixes. Maintain the backlog of integration enhancements and bug fixes for engineering. Serve as the company's subject-matter expert on our integrations and the data they produce. Build and maintain partnerships with utilities and 3rd party partners to work through integration blockers together. Work with stakeholders such as sales and customer success to prioritize our roadmap of integrations. Requirements Intellectual curiosity and initiative. Proactive, not reactive. A self-starter who goes and finds answers rather than waiting to be told. Technical depth in all forms of data integration including ETL and the full range of data formats you encounter in the wild. A track record of delivering on commitments, not just making them. Known for writing specifications that engineers can build from and docs that help guide operations. Fluent with AI tools to accelerate data validation, workflow automation, and rapid prototyping. Utility-industry or energy-data domain experience: billing, tariffs, metering, renewable energy, and utility portals. Must currently reside in the United States and have the legal right to work in the United States. At least three years experience in a product role for a SaaS platform that sources data from numerous 3rd party systems Benefits The position comes with salary, stock options, 401(k) match, a great health plan, vision, dental, life insurance, disability insurance, generous parental leave, and a flexible vacation policy — we want you to take the time off you need so that you are happy and productive.
