Who We Are

Arcadia is the technology company empowering energy innovators and consumers to fight the climate crisis. Our software and APIs are revolutionizing an industry held back by outdated systems and institutions by creating unprecedented access to the data and clean energy needed to make a decarbonized energy grid possible.

In 2014, Arcadia set out on its mission to break the fossil fuel monopoly and since then we have been knocking down the institutional barriers to unlock decarbonization. To date, we have connected hundreds of thousands of consumers and small businesses with high-quality clean energy options. Fast forward to today, and now, we’re thinking even bigger. We have launched Arc, an industry-defining SaaS platform that empowers developers, sustainability-focused businesses, and energy innovators to deliver their own custom, personalized energy experiences, accelerating the transformation of the industry from an analog energy system into a digitized information network.

Tackling one of the world’s biggest challenges requires out-of-the-box thinking & diverse perspectives. We’re building a team of individuals from different backgrounds, industries, & educational experiences. If you share our passion for ushering in the era of the clean electron, we look forward to learning what you would uniquely bring to Arcadia!

What we’re looking for:

We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to join the Product team, focused on improving our data collection pipelines, building layers of domain intelligence on top of raw energy data, and making that data available as easily as possible to customers. This role will be responsible for identifying use cases, scoping solutions, working with customers to build those out in a productized way, identifying Arc Platform gaps and getting those filled, and launching those products to the market. 

This individual will lead product initiatives from conception to launch and subsequent iterations, by connecting external customer needs, internal team challenges, technological capabilities, and business goals. The ideal candidate is a self-starter and strong collaborator who enjoys systems-level thinking. This person will need to be adept at breaking complex problems into smaller steps that drive iterative product development and who has experience building platform products or internal tools. This person will also need to be comfortable at the cutting edge of data tools, pipelines, and AI/ML techniques.

This role will report to a Director of Product for Arc. Additionally, the Product Manager will collaborate frequently with engineers, product designers, other product managers, sales engineering, ops teams, customer success teams, the sales team and, most importantly, design customers.
