Job description

Product Manager – Data Center Software / BMS

Location: Drammen, Norway

Positions: 2

Gapit Nordics is looking for two commercially driven Product Managers with strong technical and data center domain knowledge to help develop our software products for data center infrastructure.

We are looking for people who understand the world our customers operate in.

You may have worked with BMS, DCIM, EPMS/PMS, industrial automation or critical infrastructure as a system integrator, engineer, consultant, operator, solution architect or technical sales specialist. Ideally, you have hands‑on experience with platforms such as Schneider Electric EcoStruxure, Niagara Framework, Siemens, Johnson Controls, Honeywell or similar systems.

You don’t necessarily need to have been a Product Manager before. What matters most is that you understand the technology and the customer, have strong commercial instincts and want to take ownership of a product.

The role

As Product Manager at Gapit, you will take responsibility for an assigned product or product area and help ensure that we solve real and valuable problems for data center operators.

You will work at the intersection of customers, market, technology and commercial needs.

This is not primarily a backlog administration role. You will spend significant time with customers, Sales and Engineering, understanding operational challenges and turning those insights into product requirements, priorities and clear product communication.

You should be comfortable walking into a meeting with a data center operator, discussing their BMS architecture and operational challenges with their engineers, and then explaining how Gapit can create value for their organization.

What you will be responsible for

Own and develop your product

You will:

• Develop your product based on customer needs, market insight and Gapit’s overall product direction.
• Own and maintain the roadmap for your product.
• Identify and prioritize problems based on customer and business value.
• Understand competing solutions and how your product should differentiate.
• Work closely with Engineering to turn product requirements into valuable solutions.
• Follow the product from customer need through development, release, adoption and feedback.

Understand customers and the market

Great industrial software starts with understanding how infrastructure actually operates.

You will:

• Work closely with data center operators, engineers, integrators, consultants and partners.
• Understand how customers use BMS, EPMS/PMS, DCIM and other operational systems today.
• Understand the problem behind what customers are asking for.
• Identify recurring customer needs, market opportunities and genuine product gaps.
• Be comfortable discussing power, cooling, alarms, monitoring, controls, energy, capacity, instrumentation and operational reliability.

Work with Sales and customer requirements

A key part of the role is helping Sales understand and respond to technical customer requirements.

Customers often describe requirements using terminology from their existing BMS/DCIM platforms, consultant specifications, RFPs or their own operational processes. A requested capability may already exist in Gapit’s products but be described differently.

You will:

• Review and interpret customer requirements, technical specifications, RFPs and tenders together with Sales.
• Understand the intent behind a requirement, rather than simply matching terminology against a feature list.
• Map customer requirements to existing Gapit capabilities.
• Distinguish between genuine product gaps and differences in terminology, configuration or implementation.
• Help Sales produce accurate responses explaining how Gapit meets customer requirements.
• Create clear and reusable product documentation, capability descriptions, technical one‑pagers and sales material.
• Work with Engineering when deeper technical clarification is required.

Drive commercial success

You will help ensure that your product is not only technically strong, but also understood and valued by the market.

You will:

• Understand who should buy your product and why.
• Understand which customer problems have the highest commercial value.
• Help develop strong product positioning and value propositions.
• Provide customer and market insight to support packaging, pricing and commercial decisions.
• Support customer and partner meetings.
• Present and demonstrate your product to technical and commercial audiences.

Who we are looking for

The ideal candidate combines commercial thinking, technical understanding and data center domain expertise.

Relevant backgrounds include:

• BMS / building automation
• Data center operations
• DCIM or EPMS/PMS
• Industrial automation and SCADA
• System integration
• Critical infrastructure
• Technical consulting
• Technical sales or solution architecture

Experience with BMS or automation platforms such as Schneider Electric EcoStruxure, Niagara Framework or comparable systems is highly desirable.

Experience from data centers or other mission‑critical facilities is particularly valuable.

Experience reviewing technical specifications, RFPs, tenders or customer requirement documents is also highly relevant.

We think you will succeed if you

• Are commercially minded and naturally think about customer value.
• Have enough technical depth to earn credibility with engineers and operators.
• Understand how data centers and their technical infrastructure operate.
• Enjoy working directly with customers.
• Can distinguish between what a customer asks for and the problem they are actually trying to solve.
• Can translate between customer requirements and product capabilities, even when different terminology is used.
• Can separate an individual feature request from a broader market opportunity.
• Can explain complex technical functionality clearly and produce professional customer‑facing documentation.
• Are comfortable challenging customers and internal teams when necessary.
• Take ownership and make decisions.
• Can communicate with engineers, operators, executives and commercial teams.
• Are comfortable presenting and defending your product.
• Communicate professionally in English. Norwegian or another Scandinavian language is an advantage.

About Gapit

Gapit develops software for monitoring, understanding and controlling critical data center infrastructure.

Our products bring together data from power, cooling, environmental and other technical systems to provide data center operators with a common environment for monitoring, visualization, analytics, alarm management, reporting and control.

Our ambition is to provide a single source of truth across critical infrastructure, giving customers access to the data they need to understand their facilities and make better operational decisions.

We are building products for an industry where software, automation, energy, data and critical infrastructure are becoming increasingly interconnected.
