Product Manager/Product Owner, Data Science Storm Insights

Product Manager/Product Owner, Data Science Storm Insights

Are you passionate about helping electric utilities prepare for and respond to major storms — keeping the grid resilient and communities powered?

If so, we’d love to talk to you. We’re looking for a high-energy, detail-oriented Product Manager/Product Owner (PM/PO) to lead our flagship Storm Insights product, which helps electric utilities forecast, respond to, and recover from storms with greater speed and precision.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can zoom out to set vision and strategy and zoom in to drive daily delivery — a rare opportunity to own both the “why” and the “how” for a product with critical operational impact.

As The Storm Insights PM/PO, You Will

• Define and champion the product strategy and roadmap
• Drive cross-functional alignment and secure buy-in from leadership
• Translate roadmap priorities into actionable backlogs and detailed user stories
• Serve as the day-to-day product lead for the software engineering and data science teams
• Partner closely with our Data Science Delivery leads and Client Success team, who own direct client relationships and act as the primary channel for user feedback, use cases, and feature requests
• Collaborate with Data Science Delivery leads and Client Success to understand client workflows, pain points, and priorities — turning those insights into clear product direction

You will be the voice of the customer within the delivery teams, ensuring Storm Insights delivers high-value features that help utility storm operations leaders make better, faster decisions during extreme weather events.

Tactical (Product Owner)

• Own and maintain the Storm Insights product backlog
• Translate roadmap priorities and client use cases into epics, features, and user stories with clear acceptance criteria

• Facilitate agile ceremonies (backlog grooming, sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives)
• Validate delivered functionality and coordinate user acceptance testing with Client Success
• Track delivery progress, dependencies, and risks, and communicate them to stakeholders

What Will Make You Successful

• Ability to synthesize complex, ambiguous data and operational requirements into clear product direction
• Strong understanding of utility operational data (outage, weather, AMI, GIS, asset, SCADA) and how it drives storm readiness and restoration workflows
• Familiarity with storm operations lifecycles — forecasting, staging, crew assignment, situational awareness, restoration

• Collaborative working style with both internal client-facing teams and technical teams
