Senior Product Manager

Do you want to work with the 15th fastest-growing startup in Europe? If so, you’re in the right place.

Asset Cool is one of Europe’s fastest-growing startups, building the fastest path to more power on the grid.

We’re tackling one of the most urgent challenges in the global energy transition: grid congestion. Electricity demand is rising fast; driven by electrification, AI and data centres. While traditional grid upgrades take years, demand exists today. The grid isn’t ready.

Asset Cool delivers robotic grid upgrades that physically increase the capacity of existing transmission lines by up to 30%, without rebuilding infrastructure. Using advanced robotics and proprietary photonic coatings, we unlock data‑centre‑scale capacity in weeks to months, not years and at a fraction of the cost and disruption of conventional approaches.

Our technology goes beyond capacity. We reduce losses, prevent corrosion, cut corona noise and generate high‑value operational data that supports smarter grid operation and maintenance. Our systems are already deployed globally, and we just raised a big funding round from leading energy and climate investors.

Asset Cool is one of the most innovation‑driven companies in the UK energy sector and we’re scaling fast! If you’re ambitious, mission‑driven and excited to work on real deployments that strengthen the industry that really matters, Asset Cool is where you can make it happen.

Asset Cool has built genuinely groundbreaking technology across robotics and photonic coatings. This has been delivered by being one of the most product focused companies possible.

In delivering robotic grid upgrades, there is an extensive product portfolio that spans coating application, fluid delivery, perception payloads, robotics, UAVs, software engineering and AI.

We’re looking for an ambitious and driven Senior Product Manager to coordinate our product strategy and help us deliver at a larger scale whilst expanding the product portfolio.

This is a role for someone with a strong, clear point of view who isn’t afraid to make the call when engineering and commercial teams disagree on what to build next. You’ll work with Engineering leadership and the CEO to define the product priorities, manage the product requirements, maintain detailed product requirements specifications, product roadmaps aligned with commercial deliverables, make the trade offs between speed, reliability and cost explicit.

Essentially you will keep everyone pointed at the same goal: getting our products out of the lab and into customers’ hands.

You’ll own the product roadmap, requirements and prioritisation across our product range, not the detailed engineering design of any one product - our engineering and R&D teams own that. Your job is to make sure the right things get built in the right order, that everyone knows why, and that we keep moving at pace as we scale.

• Own the product roadmap across our robotics, fluidics, UAVs, software and AI development lines, and set clear priorities for what gets built next and why.
• Manage the requirements, to ensure engineering R+D are tracking towards completion of these requirements, and they are maximally up to date.
• Lead the move from prototype to commercially scalable product, working closely with engineering to balance speed, reliability and cost.
• Balance competing priorities and resourcing needs between engineering and commercial teams, making clear calls on trade‑offs so the business keeps moving forward.
• Work directly with engineering leads to turn prototypes into well‑defined, buildable product requirements, and push back where scope or timelines aren’t realistic.
• Work with commercial and sales teams to understand what customers actually need, and feed that straight into product decisions.
• Work with the CEO to regularly iterate on the product strategy in response to the fast moving developments.
• Set out what “ready to scale” actually means for each product – the specific bar it needs to clear on performance, reliability and cost before we commit to bigger volumes.
• Report progress, risks and trade‑offs clearly to the CEO and leadership team, including…
