We hire teammates who are bright, gritty, and good, with a genuine passion for a cleaner energy future.
The Role
As a Product Manager on the Market Product Team, you will own product outcomes that drive growth, margin and retention in our market products in MISO and IESO.

Voltus is a fully distributed company and this job is remote. You have the flexibility to work from anywhere, but your workday must align with a US-based time zone.

Effectively validate hypotheses and assumptions about market mechanics, user needs, and system behavior
Ensure product solutions are operationally viable, adequately supported, and aligned with business and regulatory strategy
Qualifications
At least 2-3 years of experience as a product manager or a role building products
Ability to read market rules and tariffs directly and reason through complex logic like baseline and performance calculations. Energy experience is a bonus, but you’ll need to get fluent quickly.
