Kaluza wants to power a world where net-zero is within everyone’s reach, by building the platform that will accelerate a sustainable, affordable and resilient energy transition. It’s a huge challenge, but often the toughest problems are the most rewarding to solve.

Since launching in 2019, Kaluza’s technology has been empowering some of the biggest energy suppliers to better serve millions of customers.

From revolutionising billing to smart electric vehicle charging, our real-time cloud platforms transform supplier operations, reducing cost to serve and boosting engagement. And most importantly, they enable suppliers' customers to drive decarbonisation with smart, low carbon technologies.

Where in the world of Kaluza will I be working?

You’ll be joining the Kaluza Product community. We’re a group of Product Managers and Leaders focused on translating complex needs into simple and innovative solutions that solve real customer and business problems.

You’ll be working on the Kaluza’s Energy Retail platform. This is a single instance, SaaS technology platform that aims to revolutionise the operating platforms for energy retailers globally. This platform has been built with scale and technical quality in mind and is the foundation for decarbonisation efforts by Kaluza’s customers. We’re looking to transform to a multi-tenant, international ready model to help the business take on new challenges and external customers.

What will I be doing?

We’re looking for a product lead, or an experienced product manager looking to take the next step into a leadership position, to lead our product teams responsible for all aspects of the account lifecycle and metering /industry processes that underpin retail energy. Energy suppliers across the world deal with a huge range of industry complexity which is all but hidden from the end energy customer. Managing these unseen, but critical processes forms a significant part of a supplier’s operation and often has a material impact on the end customer’s experience. Kaluza solves this problem for suppliers by allowing them to run their operations efficiently at scale by providing accurate, timely data and a mix of intelligent automation & delightful agent tooling.

You’ll lead and manage a squad of at least five product managers working on different aspects of the metering and industry area. Being a proven leader, you’ll motivate your team and are excited about bringing out the best in others and creating a high performing team. You’ll help guide your team in setting their product vision & strategy. The successful candidate will need to show a real passion for bringing together a wide range of complex needs and requirements from customers, energy retailers and regulatory bodies and working with their teams to deliver simple and innovative solutions.
