Jobbeschreibung

Would you like to join us in shaping the transformation of our energy system? Then you've come to the right place! We operate one of the largest Virtual Power Plants in Europe with thousands of networked power generators, consumers and storage facilities. With our team, we are working on the realisation of a sustainable power market – at our headquarter in the heart of Cologne-Ehrenfeld, in our European branches and, of course, also while working from home.

Product Manager (f/m/d) Complex Deals

Our vision is an electricity market supplied with 100% renewable energy. Making this vision a reality we need to increase the generation of wind and solar, and we need sufficient flexibility to balance the variability of these energy sources. Large assets can significantly contribute to this goal. Such units are very often operated with high technical complexity or financed outside of subsidies, which makes our standard products only partly suitable. Our team of six manages the whole lifecycle of our complex deals, ensuring commercial results and operational excellence through our adaptability and proactive stakeholder management. You will be responsible for onboarding these complex cross-market optimized assets such as electrolysers or complex industry clients, but especially in charge of driving forward necessary product development to ensure the efficiency and success of your product. You will also maintain the roadmap of our product management to ensure sustainable product success and scalability, maximize P&L, and drive forward the energy transition.

We offer flexibility not only as an electricity market product, but also in terms of working hours. Whether full-time or part-time, let us know how we can work together.
