Head of Product

Our client is building the infrastructure layer for the next generation of the German energy market.

Backed by leading European investors and headquartered in Berlin, they’ve developed a technology-driven platform enabling smarter energy trading, optimized grid integration, and scalable renewable adoption across Germany.

As decentralization, volatility, and regulatory complexity accelerate, they sit at the intersection of software, regulation, and physical infrastructure — shaping the backbone of the Energiewende.

They are now entering a critical growth phase and are looking for a Head of Product to define product strategy, scale the platform, and build a world-class product organization.

As Head of Product, you will own the product vision, strategy, and execution across the entire platform.

• Define and drive the long‑term product strategy aligned with market evolution and regulatory shifts
• Own the product roadmap across trading, grid integration, and platform expansion initiatives
• Translate complex German energy market requirements (EEG, Redispatch 2.0, balancing markets, PPAs, flexibility markets) into scalable product solutions
• Build and lead a high‑performing product team (Product Managers, Product Owners, potentially Product Ops)
• Work closely with Engineering, Commercial, and Regulatory teams to ensure product‑market fit and scalable delivery
• Establish clear KPIs, product metrics, and feedback loops to drive performance and growth
• Represent Product at leadership and board level discussions

We’re looking for a strategic product leader with deep market understanding and execution strength.

• 7+ years of experience in product management, with at least 2+ years in a leadership role
• Strong experience in the German energy market (energy trading, utilities, renewable platforms, VPPs, energy SaaS, flexibility markets, etc.)
• Proven track record of scaling complex B2B or infrastructure‑focused products
• Deep understanding of regulatory frameworks and market mechanisms in Germany
• Experience leading cross‑functional product development in technical environments
• Strong commercial instinct and ability to balance regulation, technology, and business impact
• Fluent in German and English

• Experience in a fast‑growing startup or scale‑up
• Background in energy systems, engineering, economics, or computer science
• Experience with digital trading systems, APIs, or marketplace models
• Experience preparing product strategy materials for investors or board members

• True strategic ownership at leadership level
• Backed by strong European investors
• High‑growth, infrastructure‑level impact
• The opportunity to shape the technological backbone of Germany’s energy transition
