Strategic Business & Product Development Lead

What if you could turn emerging signals in the energy market into entirely new products before the rest of the industry even sees them coming? A fast-growing software company is building the infrastructure that quietly underpins how electricity is managed and exchanged in an increasingly dynamic energy system. As the system becomes more complex and data-rich, entirely new commercial opportunities are emerging beyond the core product. This role is for a high-agency business builder who thrives in ambiguity—someone who can spot signals early, turn them into sharp hypotheses, and rapidly test what's real. What you'll do - Identify and develop new commercial opportunities adjacent to the core platform - Work directly with industry stakeholders to uncover unmet needs and emerging use cases - Translate market signals into clear, testable business cases - Partner with technical and commercial teams to shape early concepts into scalable offerings - Support early go-to-market efforts and strategic sales where needed What you bring - 5+ years in power markets, energy consulting, trading, or corporate strategy - Proven ability to build or unlock new business opportunities in uncertain environments - Strong network across the European power ecosystem - Bias for action—comfortable moving quickly from insight to validation - Familiarity with modern AI tools for rapid prototyping and testing ideas - Strong communicator with the ability to influence senior stakeholders Why this role - High ownership, high impact, no predefined playbook - Competitive compensation with equity upside - Remote-first setup with occasional high-quality team offsites in Europe - Opportunity to shape entirely new directions inside a fast-scaling climate tech company Originally posted on Himalayas
