Primary Responsibilities

• Product Strategy & Commercial Ownership

• Define next-generation derivative datasets where deep market and data expertise directly determines what's worth building.

• Own sequencing of collection and maintenance priorities ahead of ISO market changes (e.g., new market launches, FERC rule changes).

• Own data discoverability and usability of Market Data.

• Translate our superior data quality into customer-facing features and messaging.

• Commercial Success

• Drive ARR growth for Market Data across current and new markets, owning the strategy behind pricing, packaging, and expansion opportunities.

• Drive successful product adoption and commercial results by ensuring positioning, messaging, and launches clearly communicate customer value, and equip Sales and Marketing to win the market.

• Stay ahead of the market by translating ISO and regulatory change into roadmap decisions.

• Drive product decisions by turning usage data and customer signals into a roadmap customers are bought in on.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of product management experience in a SaaS environment, ideally energy or regulated utilities.

• Strong domain understanding of regulated nodal power markets (ERCOT, PJM, etc.).

• Experience owning product-level commercial outcomes — revenue, cost, margin, or retention — and using that data to make investment tradeoffs.

• Experience owning data quality, lineage, or governance for a data product — accountable when it isn't clean, not just a downstream consumer.

• Demonstrated ability to test commercial viability (pricing, willingness to pay) before building, not just after.

• Demonstrated ability to synthesize regulatory, market, and customer insights into product strategy.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical audiences.

• An analytical mindset with comfort in making decisions based on quantitative and qualitative data.

• Experience building analytical or data science work products (models, dashboards, pipelines) that directly supported trading or investment decisions.

• Agile Product Ownership

• Strong proficiency working with Agile software development frameworks and project tracking tools, specifically Jira.

• Stakeholder Management

• Ability to align Sales, Customer Success, Engineering, and executives around hard tradeoffs — including saying no.

• High attention to detail and ability to balance competing demands from multiple internal and external stakeholders.
