$190,000–$230,000 year
HybridSalt Lake City, Utah, United States
Job Summary
Own and operate the whole-product evidence system, including VOC, CPT, and CCT standards, while personally moderating customer sessions and running apprenticeships for engineers and designers. Own the Systems product strategy across software, data, embedded systems, and testing tools, coordinating with hardware counterparts to balance speed and quality. Support closing deals by owning win/loss instrumentation and bringing deal signals into routing with anti-bias discipline. Decide deal-specific product commitments and make fleet telemetry the confirmation layer by partnering with Heads of Data and Testing Tools to instrument customer confirmation testing. Hire, grow, and level the product management and product design teams. This role requires 10+ years in product roles with 4+ years leading teams, direct commercial exposure, and quantitative fluency in product metrics. Based in Utah with hybrid remote options, the position offers a salary of $190,000-230,000.
Required Qualifications
- Hardware-software integrated products or comparably complex multi-disciplinary systems, with firsthand experience of the asymmetric cost of being wrong in atoms versus bits.
- 10+ years in product roles, with 4+ years leading product managers and designers — building a product organization, not only inheriting one.
- A personal body of customer research measured in hundreds of moderated sessions, with demonstrated ability to teach the craft to non-researchers.
- Direct commercial exposure: deals you personally closed or rescued, with product decisions traceable to them; a win/loss program you built or ran, and a roadmap decision it reversed.
- Quantitative fluency: product metrics you defined from raw telemetry or event data and used to kill or scale work — enough hands-on data skill that you are not hostage to someone else's dashboard.
- Specific, verifiable examples of evidence reversing a position you held publicly.
- Background Check
- Work Authorization Applicants must already have the legal authorization to work in the US without requiring any employer sponsorship.
- Proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking English required.
- When on the production floor, required to don personal protective equipment to include, but not limited to ear protection, gloves, eye protection and/or safety helmet.
- When on the production floor, ability to observe, detect and respond to audible and visual machine malfunction warnings.
- Maintain regular and reliable attendance, whether working remotely or on-site, with the ability to perform job duties safely and effectively.
- Ability to communicate information so others can understand. Must be able to exchange accurate information in these situations.
- Regularly operates a computer and other peripheral office equipment such as a printer or mouse.
Desired Qualifications
- Founder, founding-team, or early-stage B2B product executive experience.
- Energy domain: battery storage, solar + storage, EV charging, or other grid-interactive systems; virtual power plant or demand response programs; utility program economics.
- Standards context: UL 9540/9540A, UL 1741, IEEE 1547/2800, and grid interconnection processes.
- Owner-operator, fleet, or asset-backed business models where company P&L confirms product value.
- Selling capex-backed outcomes to commercial and industrial executive buyers.
