What the job involves
- As the Product Managerfor Onboarding & Enrollment you will be responsible for owning and driving outcomes associated with the critical first-mile of turning DERs into dollars: from initial signup to market-eligibility
- You’ll help Voltus “simplify the complex” of distribution utilities, energy markets, and customer circumstances in order to help maximize the volume of MWUM (megawatts under management) that are eligible to enroll and re-enroll every season
- This role is a mix of strategy and execution, which includes researching user and market needs, defining vision and strategy, forming and evaluating investment theses, establishing roadmaps, prioritizing outcomes, running experiments, managing cross-functional execution, and measuring the impact of your initiatives
- You will work extremely closely with the GTM, design & engineering, customer success & operations, and energy markets teams who will be key stakeholders, collaborators, and users
- Some things you might do in your first 90 days: Reducing time-to-authorization from weeks to days. Prioritizing self-serve capabilities to increase the throughput of enrollment requirements. Designing flexible onboarding and enrollment flows that adapt to different customer and market circumstances (e.g. large single facilities vs. multi-site enterprises)
- Develop and prioritize outcomes within your product area that will drive the most impact on the company’s key business objectives
- Be the champion of business value, user needs, and market opportunities, and use them to formulate investment theses
- Own the product roadmap, vision, and success criteria for your product area
- Lead and support initiatives within Voltus that drive toward your prioritized outcomes
- Perform research and conduct analysis continuously to validate hypotheses and assumptions
- Collaborate with your manager (GPM) and engineering manager to align on priorities and manage the day-to-day efforts of ongoing initiatives and workstreams
- Ensure the product is valuable, adequately supported, integrated with the company’s operations, has high adoption and retention, and is aligned with business strategy
- Communicate initiatives and product outcome results with stakeholders across the organization
Our take
The push towards green energy, in combination with the sharp pivot away from traditional energy sources like natural gas, has accelerated the development and commercialisation of new electrical supply solutions. One such solution is the leveraging of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs): small scale supply or demand resources that can be hooked up to the electric grid to help meet (or ease) demand.
Voltus helps broker this connection between DERs and the grid, allowing commercial owners of DERs to connect them to all the wholesale electricity markets in Canada and the US, and thereby gain and manage a potentially substantial additional income stream.
Voltus doesn’t manage as much load as competitors in the space like Enel X and CPower, but with its 2021 SPAC funding, it’s aggressively driving to capture more of what’s quickly becoming a hefty market opportunity. Behind-the-meter loads like water heaters and AC, and energy sources like microgrids and EV chargers are increasingly sought after by businesses and land owners, and Voltus is benefitting from partnerships with large businesses such as Madison Square Gardens Arena and Western Grain Marketing.
