Are you our next Product Manager?

We are looking for a senior level Product Manager to join our Teams either in Oslo, Norway or Espoo, Finland. This role is key for the continued success of our Data Service Products.

We want to delight our customers with fantastic user experiences, services and a platform that exceeds their expectations. And this is where you and your fellow Product Managers will work together to create the Power Exchange of the future.

Our markets run 24/7/365 – and that means it’s tough, challenging and exciting. We don’t expect you to know or understand the complexities of power trading on day 1, but you have a passion to learn and a desire to get stuff done. While focused towards Data Services, the role will develop into a key influencer of the Power Exchange itself.

Our data services is considered an independent revenue stream for the company, and thus our Product Manager will be responsible not only for the product portfolio but also the extended business around it i.e. strategy, licensing, pricing, customer relations and P/L. An entrepreneurial spirit will be a key asset in managing day to day. Our data team consists of dev & marketing capabilities and thus the PM is expected to not only engage with dev but also drive growth.

Our data services have gone through rapid change over the last three years with new products and licenses being introduced. We expect this transition to continue with the product portfolio expanding to new domains. It will be the PM's responsibility to manage this transition and find optimal solutions for everyone.
