Role
Who you are
- Proven experience as a Product Manager, Business Analyst, or equivalent role in software companies, with a strong track record of successfully localising complex software products for international markets
- Previous experience in the French energy industry — you know how the market works and its key players (e.g. Enedis / GRDF), especially around device data and market flows. Experience with energy management or utility platforms in the French market is a strong plus
- Fluent in French and very comfortable in English — our platform and many of our teams operate in English, so you move easily between both
- Confident working directly with clients — you can run a working session with client stakeholders, draw out the real requirement behind the ask, and keep senior people aligned and brought in
- A builder's mentality — resourceful and hands-on, comfortable building a working prototype rather than waiting for the perfect specification
- Technically comfortable — at ease with data and data models, databases, and APIs, and able to prototype with modern AI tooling. You don't need to be an engineer, but you think like one and can hold your own in a technical conversation. Equally happy reasoning about a data model and about what the end user sees on screen
- A clear, sharp communicator — able to cut through noise and articulate technical and market complexity to a range of stakeholders, including clients
- Experience collaborating across cross-functional teams — engineering, QA, BA, Programme, Delivery etc — to deliver localised solutions
- Proficiency in AI tools throughout all stages of the product lifecycle — from discovery and ideation to delivery and iteration
- We understand some people may not apply for jobs unless they tick every box. But if you're excited about joining us and think you have some of what we're looking for, even if you're not 100% sure, we'd still love to hear from you
What the job involves
- Reporting to: Group Product Manager
- You'll lead the French localisation of Device Data Management — one of the core product areas within the Kaluza platform that brings together data on supplies, meters, registers, reads and consumption
- This area also covers the journeys around managing this data (like updating a meter's configuration), the APIs that expose it, the frontend pages that surface it to users, and the calculations behind consumption projection and forecasting. This is a hands-on, full-stack product role — you'll work across the whole product area, from the data model through to what users see on screen
- Translate French market requirements into clear specifications — turn the rules of the French energy market (including how device and meter data flows between grid operators and suppliers) into detailed product requirements covering compliance, data flows and data quality
- Build close working relationships — work hand in hand with key partners in the French market to understand their needs, shape requirements together, and build the kind of trusted relationship where they come to you first, using that closeness to steer what we build next for France
- Build, don't just specify. Go from idea to working prototype yourself — query data, sketch API contracts, and stand up proofs of concept. We expect you to use AI tooling (e.g. Claude Code) as a daily multiplier to prototype, investigate, and unblock, not just to draft documents
- Align global and local teams across all functions — partner closely with engineering, UX, QA and more, with full-stack influence, keeping everyone pointed at the right outcomes. Be the go-to person for this product area in France, and act as the link between our global and local teams to inform priorities and strategy
Our take
The energy landscape is one of the most dynamic and fast-evolving sectors in the world. More and more energy retailers are looking to move further toward digitisation and reap the benefits of modern technology in an increasingly connected world. But many are struggling with the transition, held back by legacy operating systems which slow them down, drain resources, and hamper innovation.
This is where Kaluza comes in. An ecosystem of platforms whose services range from energy billing to smart electric vehicle charging, Its real-time cloud platforms transform supplier operations, reducing the cost to serve and boosting customer engagement. Essentially, its platform is aimed at helping businesses streamline their operations, saving them time, effort, and money which can be better invested elsewhere.
Kaluza is riding the momentum of a growing desire for sustainable business and services. Its program relating to electric car charging, for example, will be able to capitalise on huge new demand in that sector - over 100,000 electric cars are already on the roads in the UK, and Bloomberg New Energy Finance has predicted that electric cars will account for over 50% of new global car sales by 2040. As the globe moves further towards sustainable use of energy in the coming years, Kaluza could be very well positioned to capitalise.
