Product Strategy: Translate ambiguous business challenges into clear product roadmaps, requirements, and prioritized backlogs aligned with Sunrun's overarching goals.
Technical Partnership: Collaborate closely with engineering teams on system design discussions, architectural trade-offs, and complex implementation choices.
Metrics & Measurement: Define upfront KPIs and leverage post-launch data to evaluate product impact and guide future investments.
Stakeholder Alignment: Communicate vision, priorities, and investment rationale clearly to both technical and executive stakeholders.
Constructive Leadership: Provide thoughtful pushback when requests misalign with business goals, build consensus, and drive disciplined execution.

Qualifications

7+ Years Experience: Demonstrated track record in product management and technical roles owning complex, scalable products.
Technical Foundation: Deep fluency in software systems, enabling meaningful engagement with engineers on architecture and trade-offs.
Scale & Execution: Experience bringing products from 0-to-1 and scaling established platforms to drive sustained user adoption.
Navigating Ambiguity: Proven ability to turn broad, unstructured problems into clear product direction and measurable outcomes.
Data-Driven Mindset: History of defining success metrics and delivering concrete business or customer value.
Communication & Influence: Strong strategic judgment with the confidence to challenge assumptions constructively and align cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications

Technical Background: Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, alongside prior software engineering experience.
Domain Experience: Background in enterprise tech, B2B platforms, cloud infrastructure, AdTech, or e-commerce.
Multi-Platform Versatility: Exposure to both B2B and B2C products across web and mobile applications.
AI Exposure: Experience working on AI products or partnering with AI engineering teams (or a strong technical curiosity and drive to learn).

The Opportunity

This position offers substantial autonomy and leadership within a high-visibility AI team. You will blend strategic product thinking with hands-on technical execution, directly shaping how next-generation technology drives clean energy adoption.
