Product Manager
Company Overview
At Arbor, we are building the first home energy app designed for modern life. Electricity that we use to power our lives at home is magic - it’s at the center of everything we do. But our relationship to energy today is (seriously) boring and confusing. People pay their bills every month, and that’s just about it. It takes too much mental energy to do anything about it. Traditional energy companies don’t care to improve this, but we do. With over $20M raised, we’re committed to making saving on energy effortless, so you can use more energy for what matters. It should not be hard, confusing or expensive to get better, abundant energy.
Role Summary
We’re excited to hire the first Product Manager at Arbor. We’re seeking a highly motivated and impact-driven individual to lead the development of Arbor’s supplier-facing product. Energy suppliers procure energy for their electricity customers by trading on energy markets, or through their own power generation assets. Arbor secures favorable electricity supply pricing through these suppliers, ensuring our residential users receive the best savings on their electricity bills. In this role, you’ll bridge technical teams and external supplier relationships, ensuring the product delivers the best rates to users while driving value for suppliers.
At Arbor we empower our product teams to solve hard problems in ways that our customers love and that work for our business. You’re accountable for ensuring our efforts create meaningful value, contributing a deep knowledge of our users, suppliers, and the various constraints from energy, regulation, and the competitive landscape. You’ll collaborate closely with your product designer and engineers as well as our partner commercial, data, marketing, and customer support teams. You’ll leverage our collective passion to discover and deliver innovative solutions to the market.
