Join a team that’s All Kinds of Useful

At Origin, being useful is more than a tagline - it’s how we approach work every day. As a collective, we’re a team that thrives on finding better ways, working together, and owning our impact. From powering homes to delivering award-winning internet and helping to lead Australia’s energy transition. If you’re driven by purpose and excited to be part of something bigger, we’d love to have you on the journey.

About the role

Origin Zero helps business customers manage energy costs, cut emissions and work through the energy transition. Our Insights and Data Products team builds the products behind that, from customer insights and digital engagement to energy procurement and solutions that connect grid supply with on-site energy assets.

As Energy Product Development Manager, you’ll lead your assigned products from the first customer conversation through to launch and beyond.

Day to day, that means:

• Finding customer problems and opportunities through research, usage data and feedback
• Testing ideas early with prototypes and experiments, before we commit to building
• Building business cases and go-to-market plans with Pricing, Wholesale and Trading, and Sales
• Working with designers, analysts, data specialists and engineers to deliver a useful first release that can scale
• Preparing launches with Sales and Operations, including documentation, customer testing and training
• Tracking adoption, customer experience and commercial results, then recommending what comes next

You’ll also use AI to improve how we research, analyse and build, and look for places where it can make our products better for customers.

Why this role matters

Business customers are making big energy decisions: how they buy power, how much they generate on site, and how fast they cut emissions. The products you lead will help them make those decisions with better information and better options. You’ll own real decisions, work with a wide range of specialists, and see the results in customer adoption and commercial performance.

What you’ll bring

• A track record in product development or product management, with digital products taken from discovery through launch and ongoing improvement
• Experience in customer research, human-centred design, Lean experimentation and Agile delivery
• An understanding of the Australian energy market and what business customers need
• Sound commercial judgement and analytical skills, and the ability to explain the assumptions behind a recommendation
• Experience getting work done across business and technology teams without direct authority
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Hands‑on experience using AI tools, and the judgement to check their outputs
• Experience with commercial and industrial customers, digital energy platforms, flexible purchasing, environmental certificates or distributed energy is desirable.

So, why join us?

• 21 weeks of paid parental leave for primary carers with flexible return options.
• Thrive in a culture of personal and professional growth.
• Enjoy a central CBD location with access to parking and public transport.
• Purchase up to four additional weeks of leave annually.
• Engage in opportunities through the Origin Foundation to support your community.
• Powering your career with unbeatable perks - Get discounted electricity, gas, and internet as an Origin employee.
• Explore unique and cost-effective employee EV Car subscriptions.
