Job description

About Low Carbon

Low Carbon creates large-scale renewable energy to fight climate change. We're building a renewable energy company that will protect the planet for future generations.

This defining purpose drives us to deliver for our communities, investors, and the environment.

We are a long-standing certified B-Corporation and recognised as gold standard for our environmental impact. We develop, build, and operate utility-scale solar, onshore wind, and battery storage projects across the UK and Europe, supporting the world’s move to an energy system powered by renewables.

CVC DIF, the infrastructure strategy of leading global private markets manager CVC, is the majority shareholder in Low Carbon. Working alongside MassMutual, CVC DIF will enable Low Carbon to significantly expand its installed capacity and drive the next stage of growth as a diversified, leading next-generation IPP.

Role Description

We are looking for an early-career PM who is comfortable in technical environments: someone who can run a product development process end-to-end, translate business needs into clear requirements, and work confidently alongside engineers and quants. You will also get hands-on with design, with direct coaching in this area.

You will join a small, high-ownership team at an inflection point, helping shape how we build products, contributing to our AI-assisted development approach, and working directly with business users whose decisions have real-world impact on the energy transition.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the end-to-end product development process from requirements gathering and sprint planning to delivery working within a loosely Agile framework and progressively taking ownership of ceremonies over time.
• Act as the primary point of contact for internal business users, translating inbound requests into clear, well-defined requirements while proactively shaping what gets built, pushing back where needed, and bringing your own thinking to prioritisation and scope.
• Work directly with quants and engineers to translate complex model outputs into usable, well-designed product experiences challenging assumptions and advocating for the end user throughout.
• Contribute to product roadmap planning for specific product areas, with the expectation of owning a roadmap area independently as you grow into the role.
• Get hands-on with design: mapping user flows, defining interfaces, and iterating based on feedback with direct coaching from the Head of Product.
• Contribute to the team's AI-assisted development approach, and over time play a role in shaping AI features and agents built for internal business use.

Skills & Experience

• 1+ years of experience in a product management role, or equivalent experience in a closely related discipline (e.g. business analysis, UX, technical consulting).
• Comfortable in technical environments: able to read code, hold informed conversations with engineers, and jump into hands-on prototyping including with coding agents and AI-assisted development tools.
• Solid grounding in core product and delivery concepts: sprint-based and Kanban workflows, qualitative and quantitative research methods, and ideally some exposure to design research methods and UX heuristics.
• Strong stakeholder skills able to work with a range of internal users from operators to senior leaders, push back constructively, and bring clarity to ambiguous or competing demands.
• Comfortable operating in an environment where processes, products, and priorities are still being defined you help bring structure, rather than waiting for it.
• Empathetic by default: you listen carefully to what users need and advocate for them, even when it's inconvenient.
• High standards and the ownership to act on them you notice when something is off (in a dataset, a design, a spec) and you make sure it gets fixed, whether that's by raising it, fixing it yourself, or pushing until it's resolved.
• An active user of AI tools in your day-to-day work this is a genuine expectation, not a nice-to-have.
• Structured thinker: you communicate clearly, frame problems well, and can make a coherent case for a decision.

Nice to have

• Experience in the energy sector or a similarly technical, data-heavy industry.
• Familiarity with Azure DevOps, Figma/FigJam, VS Code.

Our Compensation & Benefits

• 26 days holiday plus your birthday off (with option to buy a further 5 days)
• Discretionary Bonus
• Bupa Health Check & Private Healthcare for you and your family (medical history disregarded)
• Contributory Pension
• Cycle scheme
• Season Ticket Loan
• Pluxee for commercial discounts and perks
• 3 additional days for volunteering to support causes of your choice
• Annual credit towards short notice childcare, eldercare and pet care via 'Bubble'

We're committed to building an inclusive team and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and experiences. If you don't meet every requirement listed, but you believe you can succeed in this role, we encourage you to apply. We're also happy to make reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process.
