Uplight is creating a new category of energy. We make software that manages energy resources in homes and businesses—including things like smart thermostats, electric vehicles, solar panels, storage batteries, heat pumps, and even people’s behavior—to generate, shift, or save energy to balance the grid, making it more efficient and reliable. This creates clean energy capacity that can be used by the power grid instead of burning more fossil fuels. Our solutions accelerate the transition to clean energy and save money for energy customers. We are seeking a strategic, collaborative, and execution-oriented Director of Product to lead our Engagement &amp; Enrollment product suite. In this role, you will define and execute the product strategy for Uplight’s services-enabled SaaS suite focused on engaging and enrolling utility customers at scale.
