Product Manager Co-op January- June 2025

Our Mission  The Role

SPAN is looking for a customer obsessed and deeply analytical product manager to focus on customer insights and data science that will help drive SPAN’s efforts to accelerate residential electrification. We have an exciting near-term roadmap of product offerings that you will help shape and refine with rigorous data analysis and strategic problem solving. If you love working with data and want to use those skills to understand customer problems and pioneer elegant solutions, this role is for you.

You will report to a staff product manager on SPAN’s product team, which includes product management, applications engineering, and design. As part of the product team, you will collaborate with talented people across the SPAN organization, including our data science, engineering, marketing, and technical sales teams.

• Leverage data from SPAN’s fleet, appliance partners, and utilities to estimate and work to increase the value of candidate product features

• Use digital customer engagement tools and related data to analyze customer experience and inform product requirements

• Learn from cross functional teams as you integrate engineering, operations, and commercial constraints and opportunities into product recommendations

• Present your recommendations and receive constructive feedback

As we are a startup, this list should be considered neither exhaustive nor complete. We are excited for people to explore responsibilities outside their normal areas of expertise if the need or interest arises.
