Job Description - Consumer Product Analyst

Our mission (share it!):

Optiwatt’s mission is to reverse global warming through the advancement of electric vehicle adoption and home electrification. We make home energy usage cheaper, greener, and simpler by building towards the world’s largest network of connected and intelligent electric devices to balance the electric grid. Our investors are some of the most active impact investing firms out there, and we hold ourselves accountable to each other and the future generations of this planet. Do you want to straddle the intersection of technology and purpose on our growth trajectory to 1,000,000 homes and beyond? We hope so.

Our culture (thrive in it!):

"We're a small team of genuinely ethical people driven by helping others and our planet. And we love our virtual mini-golf tournaments." - Casey

"I love the people here like a family. We work hard and our meme game is strong. It is a flat, collaborative organization, I pitch directly to the CEO and feel heard, even when it's outside my specialty." - Nina

"We love what we do, which makes it feel more like a fun weekend project than work. And after all the features have been deployed, we disc golf." - Danny

Your impact (grow it!):

As a Consumer Product Analyst on the Experience team, you will be directly responsible for helping us become a more data-driven organization. You’ll help us make good product and business decisions by analyzing user behavior and market opportunities to report on the impact of product releases and inform roadmap prioritization decisions. This is a great role for someone with 1-4 years of experience looking to grow into a Product Manager over the next 1-2 years.

Here’s some exciting stuff you will be asked to do:

1. Create dashboards to show conversion and retention of devices by utility program over time
2. Quantify the impact of product releases against goals to measure how much specific changes are improving KPIs
3. Conduct market analysis to inform product decisions, like expanding to new geographic territories, adding new devices (ex solar, battery and heat pumps) and stack-ranking initiatives based on user and business value
4. QA our data to ensure we can trust it to make critical decisions as a startup
5. Help plan and measure A/B tests
6. Shape our culture to be more data-driven

About You

You are someone who is….

• An expert in data analysis - from product analytics to financial modeling to writing complex SQL queries
• Comfortable with the pace and pressure of a Series A startup - especially in analyzing product decisions to keep the company growing
• Familiar with consumer or SMB products (product-led growth or PLG) - knows how critical conversion and retention are to growth at a B2B2C company
• Knowledge about where we operate - you’ve either worked in or researched the home energy, utility, or money-saving spaces and understand relevant market dynamics
• Intrigued by product management - this role could be a stepping stone to becoming a Consumer Product Manager at Optiwatt for those interested and who show potential in prioritizing and designing the right product changes to move the company forward

Benefits

Grow with us

We are ramping up for our Series B and have investors from the most reputable names in venture capital and impact investing: Google Ventures, Urban Innovation Fund, and Active Impact Investments. We have our sights set on the stars, so if you're interested in growth potential, the sky's the limit here at Optiwatt. 

We invest in your growth because we know that even if you aren’t with us forever, empowering you to better tackle climate change helps all of us. The best part of working in the clean technology industry is the enormous collaboration between companies, founders, investors, and yes, even utilities. Everyone is driven by the same goal: reduce global warming and move us towards a truly sustainable future.

We encourage you to step outside of your role and show us what you can do. Ask for opportunity and you will receive it, offer up ideas and you will be heard. We desire to match people with work that excites them the most, and we will support you in your journey to learn and grow towards accomplishing that goal.
