Job description

We are seeking a hands‑on Product Manager to own the strategy, roadmap, and outcome‑focused delivery of data‑centric products within the Technology & Digital Services (TDS) portfolio. This role is pivotal in enabling NextEnergy Group to become data‑driven, technology‑led, and AI‑infused business.

You will work cross‑functionally with data, AI, design, and engineering teams both internally and with third‑party partners, to build and deliver user‑centered products. You will be accountable for timely product delivery, risk management, and the task management of your product team. While you may specialise in a specific business area (such as Finance, Asset Management, or Commercial Management), you should expect to work on a range of products aligned with business priorities.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Define product vision, value proposition, success metrics, and delivery roadmap by understanding business problems and opportunities.
• Maintain a transparent, evidence‑based roadmap that balances outcomes, technology constraints, risk, and capacity.
• Oversee “build vs. buy” decisions, leveraging modern data platforms and analytics tools.

Energy Sector, Regulatory & Compliance Alignment

• Apply industry knowledge to ensure products align with energy sector best practices, regulatory requirements, and sustainability goals.
• Ensure all products and processes comply with relevant regulatory requirements and industry standards.
• Collaborate with compliance, legal, and risk teams to proactively identify, assess, and mitigate regulatory risks.
• Maintain up‑to‑date knowledge of regulatory changes affecting the energy and technology sectors, and ensure timely implementation of necessary changes in product strategy and delivery.

Data Platform & Analytics Integration

• Champion the adoption of analytics and AI tools to drive data‑informed decision‑making across the business.

AI & Advanced Analytics

• Identify and deliver opportunities to embed AI/ML capabilities into products (e.g., predictive analytics, automation, intelligent workflows).
• Partner with data governance and AI teams to ensure responsible and ethical use of data and AI.

Finance Transformation & Process Improvement

• Identify and deliver opportunities for Finance related platforms and processes.
• Work with Finance stakeholders to identify pain points and streamline workflows (e.g., month end, budgeting, reporting, procurement, controls).
• Support the evolution of our financial management landscape, with an understanding of ERP systems (e.g. NetSuite) and the ecosystem of tools typically used alongside it (e.g., planning, reporting, integration platforms).
• Work with internal teams and external partners to deliver enhancements, resolve functional issues, and improve adoption.

Delivery & Agile Leadership

• Translate strategy into product epics/user stories, prioritise with clear acceptance criteria, and manage the product backlog in Azure DevOps.
• Lead agile ceremonies with cross‑functional squads and coordinate with PMO on timelines, dependencies, and communications.
• Oversee business handover, enablement, and drive user adoption of new data and analytics capabilities.

Risk, Governance & Compliance

• Partner with compliance, security, and data governance colleagues to ensure policy adherence, audit trails, and appropriate controls.
• Monitor and mitigate all product‑related risks throughout the product lifecycle.
• Align senior stakeholders on outcomes and trade‑offs, providing regular updates on product delivery.
• Run steering forums with decision‑ready materials.
• Evaluate and manage third‑party partners and vendors, ensuring value, quality, and adherence to contractual terms.

SKILLS & COMPETENCIES

To be successful in this role, you will demonstrate:

• Strong experience in financial data systems and ERP (e.g. NetSuite) and self‑service analytics tools (e.g. ThoughSpot).
• Demonstrated ability to deliver products leveraging AI/ML for business value.
• Excellent time management, prioritization, and communication skills.
• Flexibility and intellectual curiosity to explore new technologies and approaches.
• Delivery focus with strong critical thinking and problem‑solving skills.
• Passion for sustainability and the mission to lead the transition to clean energy.
• Commitment to NextEnergy Group’s values: be a leader, build trust, be responsible, be innovative, and ‘bring your alpha’.
• Experience in the energy sector, with knowledge of industry regulations and market dynamics.

EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS

• Prior experience leading product delivery teams in a data‑driven environment.
• Hands‑on experience integrating cloud data platforms and analytics tools into product solutions.
• Experience embedding AI/ML capabilities into products.}
