Organizations today are under growing pressure to navigate the transition to clean energy - not just to meet sustainability goals, but to manage risk, control costs, and build long-term resilience. Yet the complexity of energy markets and a lack of accessible tools have made it difficult for most companies to take meaningful action. Verse was created to change that. Our mission is to make the case for clean energy irrefutable. Through our AI powered platform, Aria, we help organizations plan, procure, and operate clean energy to achieve their financial and sustainability goals. Verse transforms clean energy ambition into action - giving businesses the clarity and confidence to lead in a rapidly evolving energy landscape. The Role We're seeking an experienced Senior Product Manager to lead the development and delivery of Verse's groundbreaking Energy Storage Platform. This is a high impact, high visibility role where you'll coordinate a cross functional team of 20+ engineers, data scientists, and specialists to build industry leading battery optimization software that maximizes profitability for distributed energy resources. You will own the product roadmap for the Energy Storage product - a critical new platform responsible for the real time control and revenue optimization of distributed battery assets. You'll work closely with customers, Engineering, Data Science, and Design to translate customer requirements into intuitive software experiences that power battery assets across North America. This is a high impact role at the intersection of energy markets, real time systems, and enterprise software - ideal for someone who thrives on technical complexity and wants to shape the future of grid scale energy storage. Key Responsibilities Own the end to end product vision and roadmap for the BESS platform, spanning site controls, cloud optimization, and operational interfaces. Define product strategy that balances customer commitments, market opportunities, and technical feasibility. Conduct user research with operators, asset managers and field services teams to deeply understand workflows and pain points. Write detailed product requirements documents (PRDs) with user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical specifications. Partner with Engineering to scope features, prioritize the backlog, and make trade off decisions across multiple workstreams. Collaborate with Data Science to define requirements for forecasting models, optimization algorithms, and market analytics. Work with Design to create intuitive interfaces for complex real time monitoring, control, and revenue management workflows. Define success metrics and monitor product performance through analytics, customer feedback, and operational KPIs. What We're Looking For (Minimum Qualifications) 5+ years of product management experience. Direct experience building software in an electricity context, such as a BESS platform, energy management system (EMS), or distributed energy resource management system (DERMS). Experience working on technically complex platforms - real time systems, data intensive applications, IoT, or industrial software. Strong technical foundation - comfortable with system architecture, APIs, data pipelines, and collaborating deeply with engineers and data scientists. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience writing PRDs, presenting to executives, and engaging with customers. Track record of shipping products from concept through launch and iteration in an agile environment. What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications) Familiarity with multiple BESS OEMs (Tesla, Sungrow, Fluence, etc.).
