Product Manager Smart Metering & Steering

As the energy transition accelerates, flexibilities in the low-voltage grid become increasingly important - and smart metering and steering of distributed energy resources sit at the heart of this shift. You take a central role in the end-to-end steering proposition, turning regulatory complexity into scalable, compliant, and customer-friendly products at the intersection of regulation, product, hardware, and field operations.

What you'll do

• Be the expert on smart metering and steering regulation – act as the first point of contact internally and externally for regulatory developments such as §14a EnWG, §9 EEG, §21 EnWG, and §118 Abs. 6 EnWG. Interpret legal frameworks, VDE FNN requirements, BNetzA rulings, and BDEW Guidelines.
• Translate regulation into product requirements – define and prioritize development requirements for engineering teams to ensure Heartbeat AI and connected hardware meets all compliance and performance standards.
• Drive hardware strategy and rollout – coordinate testing and lab capacities, prepare key hardware decisions, and operationalize the rollout of intelligent metering systems and Steuerboxen across the customer segment.
• Manage service providers and market partners – own relationships with external service providers as well as DSOs and metering point operators, ensuring smooth collaboration and reliable market communication processes.
• Lead cross-functional projects and monitor performance – take overarching project responsibility for steering initiatives, define KPIs, monitor target achievement, and derive optimization measures from data and field feedback.

What you'll need

• 3+ years of experience in the energy sector with a clear focus on metering and steering
• Strong project management skills, leading cross-functional initiatives across internal teams, network and metering point operators, and external service providers
• Analytical, structured thinker who can define KPIs and use data to drive decisions
• Solid working knowledge of §14a EnWG and the grid-oriented control of consumption and generation assets, as well as the broader regulatory framework (MsbG, §9 EEG, §21 EnWG, §118 Abs. 6 EnWG)
• Excellent written and spoken German and English – German is essential given the heavy regulatory and partner interaction
• Familiarity with relevant technical standards and guidelines, as well as Marktkommunikationsprozesse and smart metering infrastructure

Nice to have

• Experience coordinating hardware testing, lab setups, or certification processes (e.g. for §14a Steuerboxen)

What they offer

• Remote work Germany-wide, with offices in Hamburg, Berlin, or Munich
• Direct impact on the energy transition and climate
• Access to EGYM Wellpass for health and wellness
• Job bike leasing (city bike or e-bike)
• Benefits and discounts via Futurebens
• Direct contact with core decision-makers in a dynamic, international team
