Role
Who you are
- Fluent French and English (spoken and written) are essential for this position
- Proven experience as a Product Manager, or equivalent role in software companies, with a strong track record of successfully localising complex software products for international markets
- Solid understanding of the end-to-end B2C billing lifecycle including meter data, tariffs, invoicing, and debt management
- A track record in regulated markets where billing complexity matters, energy, telecoms, financial services, or similar. Familiarity with the French energy market (ENGIE, CRE, switching, tariff structures) is advantageous
- Exceptional ability to translate abstract regulatory text or client requirements into clear, actionable, outcome-driven requirements for development teams
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams (engineering, design, legal, operations, client success) to deliver localised solutions
- Excellent stakeholder and client management skills, able to lead conversations across requirements, scope, expectations, and roadmap alignment, and communicate technical & market complexity clearly to varied audiences
- Proficiency in AI tools throughout all stages of the product lifecycle — from discovery and ideation to delivery and iteration.Fluent in French and English — our platform and many of our teams operate in English, so you move easily between both
- A builder's mindset — you're autonomous, learn fast, and aren't afraid to go deep. You're comfortable interrogating a codebase with AI tools, reading an API schema or data model, and writing a SQL query to get the answer you need
- Comfortable with ambiguity and pace — you can operate effectively when not everything is defined, know when to make a call, and aren't afraid to escalate or ask for help when it matters
- Fluent in French and very comfortable in English — our platform and many of our teams operate in English, so you move easily between both
- 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: Head of Product
- Lead the localisation efforts for our global energy billing platform, ensuring it meets the specific regulatory, market, and cultural requirements of France, from meter read to bill
- You'll be in charge of the French localisation of the Billing Module—one of the core product domains at the heart of the Kaluza platform
- The Billing module processes consumption, pricing, and account data to schedule, calculate, and generate accurate, timely, and compliant invoices throughout a customer’s lifecycle
- The module automatically manages billing cycles, generates bills, handles corrections, and produces the data that feeds invoices, billing-related communications, payment schedules, and downstream financial reporting, while powering customer and agent UIs
- This is a hands-on, full-stack product role — you'll work across the whole domain and alongside PMs from other domains and from the global billing teams to ensure the overall billing journey from meter to bill meets the requirements of French clients
- Collaborate intensely with clients and in-country experts to understand their unique needs and requirements, negotiate scope, and build a roadmap
- Deep dive into French energy market regulations, translating complex compliance needs into detailed product specifications for the billing system
- Define and manage detailed product requirements for features related to country-specific needs from getting a read to generating a bill (meter reading protocols, invoice formats, taxation rules, payment methods, and regulatory reporting)
- Work closely with engineering, UX, and QA teams to ensure the successful implementation and testing of localised billing functionalities
- Act as the go-to expert for global teams on specific French market nuances related to energy billing and customer journeys
- Continuously monitor changes in French energy legislation and market practices, proactively adapting the product roadmap to maintain compliance and competitiveness

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.
