Entrepreneurial Product & Growth Manager
OpenPower
About Open Power
Renewable energy is a $3 trillion industry, yet over 65% of the costs involved in deploying renewables today are unnecessary soft costs. Until these inefficiencies are addressed, the global shift to cleaner energy will remain significantly delayed. That's exactly what we're building to solve at Open Power.
We’re initially empowering solar installers through a powerful SaaS platform designed to simplify and streamline their operations, but our vision is much grander: we're building toward an energy utopia, removing barriers, reducing costs, and accelerating the transition to renewable energy.
We’re early-stage, highly ambitious, and actively rethinking how renewable energy businesses scale effectively.
The Role
This is a genuine 0-to-1 opportunity. As our Entrepreneurial Product & Growth Manager, you'll be responsible for taking our SaaS platform from concept to initial launch and beyond. This isn't just about delivering features—it's about deeply understanding user needs, rapidly testing hypotheses, and relentlessly iterating based on what you learn.
You’ll thrive here if you love uncertainty, see ambiguity as an opportunity, and believe that a strong bias toward action beats endless deliberation.
What You’ll Do
- Drive product strategy, rapidly validating ideas with wireframes, mockups, or low/no-code prototypes.
- Collaborate closely with our design lead, engineering, and data science teams to translate concepts into reality.
- Own growth experiments, setting and tracking key metrics to ensure we’re moving quickly toward product-market fit.
- Communicate insights clearly to the CEO and stakeholders, influencing company direction with your findings.
Who You Are
You’re probably a little impatient to move quickly and get results. You love building things, even if they're scrappy at first. You're highly analytical, but you also trust your intuition when data is limited. You've either done something entrepreneurial before, or you're early in your career and craving responsibility and rapid growth.
What We're Looking For
- Entrepreneurial Mindset: You’re excited by ambiguity and naturally resourceful.
- Ownership: You actively seek accountability and own your results end-to-end.
- Product Sense: You intuitively grasp what makes a product great and can articulate it clearly.
- Data-Driven: You enjoy diving into analytics, testing hypotheses, and making data-informed decisions.
- Prototyping Skills: Comfortable creating wireframes, mockups, or basic no-code MVPs to test ideas quickly.
- Communication: You clearly articulate ideas, findings, and trade-offs to diverse stakeholders, including directly to the CEO.
Bonus points (not essential but helpful):
- Experience in renewable energy, solar, or related industries.
- Prior startup or entrepreneurial experience.
Why Join Us?
- Direct Impact: Your work will directly shape the company and product from day one.
- High Autonomy: You'll have the freedom and support to build in your style, rapidly learn, and grow.
- Career Acceleration: Immediate exposure to senior leadership, hands-on experience, and opportunities to advance quickly as we scale.
