About the role

What you'll do

As a Product Manager at Nira you will lead new product work in the exciting world of Transmission Engineering. It'll be a unique blend of PM-ing a traditional software product, while having to go deep on a niche domain . You should be comfortable becoming an expert in a domain you've never heard of (Transmission). We're launching a variety of new products, so you should be comfortable with high autonomy and ownership. Most importantly, you should be passionate about fixing our climate! Some example projects:

  • Launch new markets in the US.
  • Launching new features in the US markets we're active in.
  • Build MVPs for new adjacent products we're exploring.

A day in the life at Nira

  • You'll spend ~3 hours a week doing user interviews to learn about workflows and gather feedback.
  • You'll manage small teams of 3-4 folks. (1 PM, 1 or 2 SWE and 1 transmission planning engineer)
  • You'll spend a few hours a week with transmission engineers getting into the nitty-gritty technical details of transmission.
  • You'll translate user requirements into Figma mockups with the help of designers.

About you

  • 2+ years as a PM.
  • Previous work experience in a niche domain.
  • Customer facing experience.
  • Excited about working in climate tech!
  • Software background a plus.
  • Figma skills a plus.
  • Excited to work with Transmission Engineers and learn about how our electrical grid works.
  • Operate well in ambiguity and excited about taking ownership.
  • Capable of rolling with the punches. Plans change when working at a rapidly growing startup.

About Nira Energy

  • Nira's mission is to convert the US power grid to be 100% fossil-free.
  • Nira is a software platform that helps renewable energy developers (solar/wind) find the most profitable land to build new projects.
  • We focus on estimating the cost to interconnect with the electrical grid (aka the Interconnection Process). Depending on where developers connect, they may be on the hook to pay millions of dollars to upgrade power lines, substations etc.
  • We are profitable!
