Product Manager

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to join a talent dense team at an early stage company, led by seasoned tech and operational veterans. At Zero, Product Managers are generalist individual contributors that report to a Lead Product Manager. They are obsessed with delivering value to homeowners and contractors, and are responsible for assembling our value chain. Product Managers shape projects with support from leadership, and keep execution moving through the daily feedback loops of product development. We are relentlessly focused on sustainable productivity. You should expect long stretches of deep work, minimal standing meetings, effective in-person collaboration with stakeholders and peers, as well as flexibility around your personal life.

Responsibilities

• Drive product work from discovery through delivery, balancing user needs, technical constraints, and business objectives.
• Shape projects with support from leadership, ensuring value delivery through daily feedback loops with the team and users.
• Own the whole value chain, not just isolated features, anchoring work on user needs.
• Break complex opportunities into smaller projects, identify key tradeoffs, and ensure value delivery, even if incremental.
• Manage conflict and coordination well, inviting diverse perspectives, engaging in respectful debate, and helping teams make decisions quickly and thoughtfully.
• Commit to a direction once set, helping others move forward and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Requirements

You are a thoughtful product generalist with strong judgment. You have at least 3 years of professional product management experience, ideally in a fast-moving software environment. You find users fascinating, love talking to them, synthesizing patterns across conversations and behavior, and creating structured artifacts that help the team understand what matters. You are a detail-oriented systems thinker, eager to own the whole value chain, and excited to dive into the messy world of residential electrification. You are enthralled with not knowing and love stepping into messy situations, framing problems, identifying what matters most, and helping the team make progress without perfect information. You are skilled at project shaping and execution, bringing structure to uncertainty without overprocessing it. You manage conflict and coordination well, and are enthusiastic about in-person work, collaborating with teammates and converging on solutions in real time through whiteboard sessions and collaborative workshops.
