Product Strategy, Geothermal Delivery

Responsiblities

• Document and prioritize multi-disciplinary Product opportunities in terms of business value:
• Distill user needs from the Field Operations and Customer/Partner stakeholders; analyze opportunities based on quantifiable impact to our value proposition; serve as “voice of the customer” to validate Product priorities and course-correct as needed
• Organize solution opportunities identified by the Operations Engineering and Technology stakeholders into frameworks based on business value (customer needs, installation economics, and energy economics); conduct market/competitive research and quantitative impact analysis as applicable 
• Articulate above ‘business requirements’ as Product priorities to guide Technology Engineering and Operations Engineering in their functional roadmapping
• Architect processes and systems for cross-functional collaboration and progress on the expansion of Bedrock’s overall Product/Capabilities:
• Define metrics for evaluating customer and business impact, make them widely visible, and ensure functional teams are leveraging them to make data-driven prioritization decisions for Technology Engineering and Operations Engineering
• Structure clear information flows and workflows across functional teams, improving consistency of nomenclature and aligning expectations about delivery and documentation
• Track cross-functional delivery schedule; flag risks, uncertainties, and bottlenecks to leadership

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience overall, with 5+ years of experience owning the technoeconomics of a hardware business, ideally with experience across heavy capital equipment, industrial automation, robotics, manufacturing, and/or operationally intensive services 
• Start-up experience is a must, ideally in an early-stage technology venture with frequent new product definition and MVP prioritization
• Successful responsibility for bottoms-up end-to-end product economics, from market research and product definition to development and deployment 
• Strong instinct for market value, customer success, and business outcomes in an B2B enterprise segment, intuitively translating quantitative data to product/business decisions amid ambiguity and complexity 
• Demonstrated ability to establish credibility with engineering leadership, understand system dependencies, and navigate/negotiate trade-offs with technical and business stakeholders
• Extremely strong, detailed, and organized communication skills, able to clearly map out the relevant system and key levers, and then articulate actionable decision-trees
• Appetite to dive quickly into multi-disciplinary technical challenges as a layperson and extract the most relevant insights for cross-functional audiences, including the ability to adjust communication style based on audience
• Positive, “yes if” mindset with a bias towards hands-on action, proactive resourcefulness, ability to drive to consensus and next steps, and healthy interpersonal respect and empathy for different viewpoints
• Willingness to travel -- starting with 30-35% time in Austin, TX at first when ramping up, then shifting to 20-25% time in Austin, TX.
