Our optimization and analytics platforms integrate open-source technologies to leverage massive, diverse sets of utility operating data. This enables rapid development of operational solutions. Applying expertise in advanced mathematics, data and physical sciences, we solve some of the hardest problems facing the energy industry.

The Principal Product Manager serves as a strategic leader and key influencer within Next Era Analytics, responsible for driving the complete product lifecycle from ideation through customer delivery while maintaining close alignment with Next Era's long‑term strategic goals and market leadership objectives. This role requires proven experience engaging with senior leadership across the enterprise to communicate compelling product strategies, build long‑term partnerships, and influence roadmaps across vertical business units.

The successful candidate will excel at customer discovery and problem‑solving, working directly with customers to uncover underlying business challenges, pain points, and opportunities rather than simply collecting feature requests, then developing innovative SaaS solutions that address the root business problems. This position demands a strategic thinker who can balance market analysis, stakeholder communication, and agile product management to deliver measurable value through comprehensive product roadmaps, while serving as a mentor and coach across multiple Next Era Energy teams and acting as a subject matter expert in their domain.

Employees in this role will set the product direction and strategy, oversee comprehensive roadmaps for product portfolios, and drive strategic innovation. This job will play a pivotal role in shaping strategic product vision, influencing organizational direction, and delivering products that define the future of renewable energy.
