RemoteRemoteMarketingFull-time
What You’ll Own
- The full life of our networking and software products — strategy, roadmap, launch, and the tough call on when to retire something.
- The customer’s point of view. You’ll visit utility sites, sit on advisory boards, and turn what you hear into real product requirements.
- Cross-team alignment. You’ll bring sales, engineering, and manufacturing to the same page without having authority over any of them.
- The numbers. Pricing, budgets, profitability, and the KPIs that tell us a product is working — adoption, satisfaction, market share.
- Go-to-market. Positioning, sales enablement, beta programs, and launches that actually land in the power-utility market.
What We’re Looking For
- A bachelor’s degree in engineering, business, or a related field.
- 5+ years of product management for technical B2B products — in power utility, industrial automation, or an adjacent industry.
- A real track record of launches you carried from concept to market.
- Hands-on experience with networking devices or substation-automation equipment.
Nice-to-Haves
- A master’s in engineering or an MBA.
- Deep familiarity with grid edge and substation applications.
The Technical Side
- This role is the subject-matter expert for networking devices in substation and grid edge use.
- You’ll want a strong grip on Ethernet networks, routing, and cybersecurity best practices, plus familiarity with the automation protocols our world runs on — DNP3, IEC 61850, and C37.
- You’ll also keep an eye on IEEE and IEC standards as they move.
Why NovaTech
- We build for the grid — the stuff that has to work every second of every day.
- We run on four values: integrity, teamwork, service, and innovation.
- This is a fully remote role open across the Americas, with light travel (up to 15%) for the fun parts — customer visits, trade shows, and getting in the room with the people who use what we build.
