Product Manager

Utility Profit is building the technology infrastructure that makes moving easier. Moving is powered by fragmented data, outdated provider systems, phone calls, PDFs, and manual administrative work. Our platform connects every home with the electricity, gas, water, and internet providers that actually serve that address helping renters and home buyers discover their options and get essential services activated.

Behind that simple customer experience is a difficult technical problem: there are little to no APIs and we're often navigating ever changing and poorly designed websites. We are developing AI-powered automation that can understand unfamiliar processes, interact with external systems, manage exceptions, and turn messy real-world work into reliable software. Our technology performs meaningful operational work that has traditionally required people, phone calls, and repetitive manual effort.

We serve property managers, title companies, renters, and home buyers putting in long hours that are often underserved with technology.

We are a profitable, product-led technology company growing rapidly while maintaining a disciplined approach to sustainable growth. Founded by members of the team behind Favor, which was acquired by H-E-B, Utility Profit has raised more than $15 million from leading investors.

We are based in Austin and work together in person Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Utility Profit is looking for an AI-native Product Lead to own an important product area from customer discovery through measurable business results.

This is fundamentally a product leadership role. You will talk directly with customers, identify the right problems to solve, set product direction, design experiences, make prioritization decisions, and lead a small product pod consisting of you and one or two engineers.

Using modern AI coding, design, research, and analytics tools, you will build prototypes, explore data, test technical ideas, design customer experiences, and contribute directly to working software.

You will report to product leadership and work closely with Engineering, Design, Operations, Sales, and customers.

• Customer Discovery:
  • Own a meaningful customer or business problem within a small, focused team.
  • Develop a deep understanding of our customers, users, and operational teams affected by your product area.

  • Move quickly from customer discovery to something customers can see and use.
• Define the strategy, goals, and priorities for your product area.
• Translate customer problems and company priorities into a focused set of product goals.
• Clearly explain what your team should build, why it matters, how success will be measured, and what the team has chosen not to pursue.
• Use data, customer evidence, technical understanding and business judgment to guide your decision-making.
• Build with AI:
  • Use AI-assisted coding and prototyping tools to turn ideas into working software.
  • Build prototypes, workflows, internal tools, integrations, and scoped product improvements.
• Product and Experience Design:
  • Think through the complete product experience, including primary workflows, edge cases, error states, trust, communication and operational requirements.
  • Move quickly from rough ideas to realistic interfaces that customers can react to.
  • Use customer feedback and product data to continuously refine the experience.
• Technical Problem Solving
  :
  • Become deeply familiar with the systems supporting your product area.
  • Work with engineers to understand architecture, constraints, dependencies, data flows, reliability risks and implementation tradeoffs.
• Measurement and Iteration
  :
  • Establish clear success metrics. Use product analytics, operational data, customer feedback and direct observation to evaluate results.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  :
  • Work closely with Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Support, Design, and our Executive Team.
  • Communicate progress, decisions, risks, results and lessons clearly.

• Product Leadership: You have owned a meaningful product, workflow, business area, or customer problem from discovery through launch and iteration.
