(Senior) Product Manager Energy

At GALVANY, our goal is to make climate-neutral living a reality for everyone. We focus on execution – developing concrete, smart solutions and making heat pumps, battery storage, and smart metering easy to access, reliable, and affordable. GALVANY-Tech drives the energy transition through software. We're building an AI-based Operating System for sales, planning, installation and operation of heat pumps and integrated energy systems – from single-family homes to multi-unit buildings, and across our Energy Community as a Virtual Power Plant.

We are a profitable green-tech startup and believe that sustainable impact and long-term growth are only possible when grounded in a healthy business model. Driven by customer value, clarity, and responsibility, we stand for high-quality heating solutions and an environment where people take responsibility and drive lasting impact.

The Role

As Technical Product Manager Energy at GALVANY, you own the heart of GALVANY FUSION – the Interaction Layer between Energy Market, Customer Comfort and Hardware. You define how our device fleet (heat pumps, batteries, EVs) becomes an active market participant – through EMS, VPP, Dynamic Tariffs and Grid Services. You translate the complexity of the energy market into products that create Continuous Savings and Recurring Revenue.

Responsibilities:

• Own vision and roadmap for the Energy product surface – across EMS, VPP & Market Flexibility, Energy Data Engine, and Savings Engine.

• Define optimization strategies and product logic for Heat Pump Load Shifting, Battery Self-Consumption and Arbitrage (Day-Ahead / Intraday), EV Smart Charging, aFRR and Flexibility Trading.

• Translate energy market mechanics, e.g., Day-Ahead, Intraday, Balancing Power, EnWG §14a, into clear product requirements and engineering tickets.

• Drive hardware and partner integrations across heat pumps, batteries, dynamic-tariff providers and connectivity – deciding what we build in-house versus what we integrate.

• Work hands-on with engineering on EMS architecture, API integration, telemetry pipelines and forecasting models.

• Define and own the KPIs that matter, e.g., €/asset/month, self-consumption ratio, flexibility revenue per battery-kWh, savings-stack contribution per use case.

• Measure success, orchestrate sprints and releases, and navigate the four product risks (customer value, usability, feasibility, business value) with a particular focus on technical feasibility and regulatory constraints.

• Support go-to-market for new energy products and pricing tiers in collaboration with Sales, Marketing and Customer Success – making complex energy economics tangible for homeowners.

Requirements

• Experience. 5+ years of product management experience in high-performance environments – ideally in Energy-Tech, Industrial IoT or related domains (e.g. dynamic tariff providers, VPP operators, EMS/HEMS vendors, smart charging, balancing market players).

• Energy Domain Track Record. Proven track record building energy products, e.g., EMS/HEMS, Virtual Power Plant, Battery Arbitrage, Smart Charging, Dynamic Tariffs or Balancing Markets. You understand the difference between Day-Ahead and Intraday and know your way around aFRR.

• Background. Background in Energy Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or comparable – or equivalent hands-on experience in an Energy-Tech company.

• Technical Aptitude. Strong technical mindset: comfortable with Cloud-to-Cloud APIs, telemetry pipelines, time-series data, forecasting models and IoT-hardware integration. You can read a sequence diagram and challenge an engineer on it.

• Track Record. Proven end-to-end responsibility in product development – from ideation through release and operation.

• Mindset. Self-driven problem-solving mindset – no need for micromanagement or specific tickets.

• Language. Fluent in English and German. German is non-negotiable here: market documentation, regulation and partner conversations happen in German.
