We are looking for an experienced product leader to implement the strategic direction and execution of our product roadmap for Scenario Builder, our electricity grid modelling platform.  Scenario Builder is an in-browser platform that currently provides capacity expansion and dispatch modelling through an accessible no-code interface. The vision of Scenario Builder is to expand into power flow modelling to create a fully integrated grid modelling platform with the features and functionality needed for users to develop bankable scenarios that enable energy investment decisions.

Your key points of collaboration are with (i) the CEO to refine the product vision (ii) the CTO to execute the product vision and (iii) the COO to ensure our product roadmap is aligned with business goals.

You will be responsible for management of our product managers and the newly formed engagement team. Our product managers are integrated into the technology team and act as the translator between users, business goals, and technical feasibility to define what gets built and why. Our Engagement Team, based in-market (currently Southeast Asia), drives the adoption and success of Scenario Builder by providing onboarding and education services that minimise users’ time to insight. The team operates on a partnership model, identifying cornerstone users in each market who support distribution and drive adoption.

This hybrid role is based out of our London office near Waterloo Station and reports to the CEO.
