We hire teammates who are bright, gritty, and good, with a genuine passion for a cleaner energy future.
The Role
As a Product Manager on the Market Product Team, you will own product outcomes that drive growth, margin and retention in our market products in MISO and IESO.

Voltus is a fully distributed company and this job is remote. You have the flexibility to work from anywhere, but your workday must align with a US-based time zone.

Ensure product solutions are operationally viable, adequately supported, and aligned with business and regulatory strategy
Qualifications
At least 2-3 years of experience as a product manager or a role building products
Ability to read market rules and tariffs directly and reason through complex logic like baseline and performance calculations. Energy experience is a bonus, but you’ll need to get fluent quickly.
