Where in the world of OVO will I be working? 

At the heart of an energy retailers system for managing their customers, is the billing engine. A customer wants to understand the health of their account and what their incomings and outgoings are; an agent needs to assist customers with their billing view when things change or problems arise and the finance team needs to have an auditable view of what has happened during a fixed period. The product we build needs to simplify the needs of these different users into a strong foundation of transactions and invoices as data entities and the connections between them.

What will I be doing?

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead a cross-functional team. This team is responsible for designing and building tools on our Energy Platform.

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Creating a system to record financial transactions on a customers account for billing and financial reporting purposes.
  • Creating and issuing statements to end users to ensure an exceptional billing process.
  • Displaying billing information to customers or agents to help those end users understand the financial position of their account.
  • You’ll lead and motivate your team to design and build generic solutions for the billing engine, evolving our existing system to support more use cases and needs.
  • You’ll guide your team in setting their product vision, strategy and roadmap.
  • The successful candidate will need to show they can deliver simple, innovative solutions for a range of complex needs – serving customers, energy retailers and regulatory bodies.

We’d love to hear from you if you…

  • Are looking for autonomy and accountability to deliver great outcomes, while delivering value at the earliest opportunity
  • Lead by example and collaborate with stakeholders on iterative product development
  • Are excited by working in a dynamic environment, responding to changing market needs
  • Can quickly understand and master new concepts, and show the tenacity to question until you get clarity
  • Love sharing your skills and experiences with colleagues
  • Know your strengths, yet recognise there’s always more to learn
  • Can communicate and collaborate effectively with leaders and team members alike

Is this the job for me?

Ideally you will be/have:

  • From a product or startup background
  • Have excellent core product management skills with track record with iterative product development from discovery to launch to continual optimisation
  • Able to demonstrate experience of managing multiple stakeholders in a fast-paced competitive environment
  • Experienced in working with finance or accounting systems would great, but is not a must
  • Experienced in complex ecosystems, and excited by new and challenging sectors
  • Passionate about digital, agile, software product management
  • Comfortable working with cross-functional teams and a team player who embraces collaboration across your own and different teams
  • Happy to own, shape, and go all-in on a product
