Product Development Manager

About the role

Key Responsibilities

• Own the development of new products across solar, battery storage and in-home electric vehicle charging.
• Build a deep understanding of target customers, identify their problems and test assumptions using qualitative and quantitative insights.
• Validate customer desirability, commercial viability, technical feasibility and operational readiness before progressing to delivery.
• Shape product strategy, value propositions and roadmaps across customer experience, purchase models, digital experiences and supporting technology.
• Partner with design, engineering, digital, commercial and operational teams to deliver, launch and continuously improve products.
• You’ll also develop in-life tips, updates and recommendations through the Origin app and personalised communications, helping customers gain greater value from their energy services and connected devices.
• What you’ll bring
• Demonstrated experience creating and launching new products from initial discovery—not only managing established products.
• Strong product-development fundamentals across customer discovery, validation, experimentation, delivery, launch and optimisation.
• The ability to clearly explain who the customer was, the problem being solved and how customer evidence shaped a product you launched.
• Experience developing digital products and breaking complex customer or business problems into testable, deliverable increments.
• Commercial acumen and confidence using customer feedback, product data and market insights to make decisions.
• Strong collaboration and influencing skills, with the ability to complement the strengths of a diverse cross-functional team.
• Experience with connected energy products—including solar, battery storage, electric vehicles or IoT devices—would be highly regarded.
