Senior Product Manager

Job description

THE OPPORTUNITY Texture is building the operating system for modern energy operations—one system to see, coordinate, and run the grid as distributed energy, electrification, and large new loads reshape everything. As a Senior Product Manager, you’ll own critical product areas that help modern energy companies—utilities, VPP operators, retail energy providers, and grid services teams—monitor, coordinate, and run their operations in a single workspace. You’ll translate complex operational reality (meters, devices, sites, grid topology, events, dispatch, reporting, and compliance) into clear, shippable product direction—and ship with a fast, high-ownership team. What you’ll help deliver: - An intuitive control center for grid operations—where teams can see an issue, act, and confirm the result without switching systems - Intelligence and automation that turn grid signal into action: anomaly detection, prioritization, recommended next steps, and workflow automation - End-to-end operational workflows across grid operations (coordination, dispatch/telemetry, performance, reporting, and auditability) - Utility-grade platform capabilities: data ingestion/modeling, auditability, access controls, reliability, and security-by-design - Cross-surface experiences spanning dashboards/analytics, maps & topology, operational tables, alerts, and collaboration WHAT YOU’LL DO You’ll be responsible for: - Owning product strategy and execution for one or more core areas (e.g., program operations, grid visibility, dispatch/telemetry, reporting, data modeling) - Turning messy real-world problems into crisp product bets: problem framing, success metrics, sequencing, and clear tradeoffs - Working deeply with engineering and design to ship: PRDs/specs, prototypes, edge cases, rollout plans, and iteration loops - Leading cross-functional execution: aligning stakeholders, unblocking the team, managing dependencies, and driving decisions from kickoff through delivery - Building operator-grade UX: fast, trustworthy, data-dense interfaces with clear states, audit trails, and predictable behavior - Defining the “system of action”: how insights become decisions, and decisions become actions (and how we prove outcomes) - Building AI-native operator experiences: human-in-the-loop automation, assistive copilots, and intelligence that’s explainable, auditable, and safe - Partnering with go-to-market and customer teams to capture feedback, de-risk releases, and tell a clear product story - Establishing product hygiene: roadmap clarity, dependency management, customer comms, and internal alignment WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR A high-agency product leader who can operate in ambiguity, move quickly, and raise the bar on product quality and outcomes. You’ll thrive here if you: - Want to own the whole thing, not a slice of it - Can reason about complex systems (data, operations, workflow) and communicate simply - Make good decisions with imperfect information—and course-correct fast - Sweat the details that make software trustworthy for operators (states, permissions, auditability, failure modes) - Love collaborating with design and engineering as a single product team - Enjoy being customer-facing: discovery calls, workflow mapping, and turning feedback into product leverage Requirements: - 5+ years in product management, with experience shipping complex software (B2B, enterprise, platform, or workflow-heavy products) - Demonstrated ownership of product releases: planning and sequencing, quality bars, launch readiness, rollout/flagging, and post-release iteration - Proven ability to define and ship end-to-end workflows (not just isolated features) - Strong product thinking: crisp problem framing, prioritization, and measurable outcomes - Strong communication: clear writing, clear specs, and strong cross-functional alignment NICE TO HAVE - Experience with energy, utilities, VPPs, DERMS, AMI/SCADA, GIS, or operational analytics - Experience building intelligent products (ML, rules engines, anomaly detection, or copilot-style workflows), including evaluation/metrics and human-in-the-loop design - Experience building SaaS product surfaces like activity feeds, notifications, inboxes, and real-time collaboration/multiplayer workflows - Experience shipping map-based and geo/spatial product experiences (layers, topology, geospatial search, and location-aware workflows) - Experience building data products: ingestion/modeling, data quality, governance, or auditability - Experience with security/compliance requirements in enterprise environments (SOC 2, SSO/SAML, RBAC, audit logs) - Technical fluency (APIs, event-driven systems, integrations) and comfort partnering deeply with engineering - Early-stage startup experience (0→1, building while scaling) BENEFITS - Sponsored team lunches (twice monthly, tied to demo days) - Flexible paid time off (20 days minimum encouraged annually) - 12 weeks paid parental leave - Up to 2 weeks paid bereavement leave - Medical, dental, and vision fully covered for employees and families (employees contribute $1/month) - Company-provided life insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability - Pre-tax benefits (FSA, HSA, commuter benefits, dependent care) - Well-being & mental health support LOCATION NYC preferred. Flexible for the right candidate.
