Role Overview:
We are seeking a proactive entrepreneur who can sit at the intersection of customer discovery, product management, and technical development.

This role will be focused on our newest portfolio company, which will leverage generative AI in the energy industry.
Your mission will be to:
Lead customer discovery to validate the problem, current workflow, and willingness to pay

Translate customer needs into product requirements
Partner with engineering to define and develop an MVP
Early Go-To-Market Support
Develop ROI narratives tied to customer outcomes and engage potential customers in pilot tests
Maintain a living view of the regulatory data landscape, as well as the AI application layer at large
Skills/Experience Required:
2–4+ years of experience in product management, customer development, strategy/consulting, business development, or a technical role in B2B software
Strong interpersonal skills and ability to synthesize complex ideas into concrete and concise insights
Working knowledge of generative AI concepts (LLMs, prompt design, retrieval/evaluation) and curiosity about emerging technologies
Comfort building demos/prototypes using no-code/low-code tools (Replit, Lovable) and/or simple scripts
