NextEnergy Group

THE ROLE We are seeking a Product Manager to lead the design, development, and delivery of technology products that support NextEnergy Group’s asset management and investment management functions. This role sits within Technology & Digital Services (TDS) and acts as a key bridge between business stakeholders and the engineering, data, and delivery teams responsible for building the tools they rely on. You will be responsible for understanding how the business manages its renewable energy asset portfolio and how investment performance is tracked, reported, and interrogated — and translating those needs into well-scoped, well-delivered technology products. You will own the roadmap, drive delivery, and ensure that what gets built creates genuine business value. We are looking for a technology product professional who brings sufficient commercial and sector awareness to engage credibly with asset management and investment management stakeholders, ask the right questions, and make sound product decisions. You do not need to be a domain expert, but you do need to understand how the business works and what drives value. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Product Strategy & Roadmap * Define and own the product roadmap for technology solutions serving asset management and investment management stakeholders, grounded in a clear understanding of business priorities and user needs. * Maintain a transparent, evidence-based roadmap that balances business outcomes, technical constraints, risk, and delivery capacity. * Lead build vs. buy assessments for asset monitoring, performance analytics, and investment reporting tooling, bringing a clear point of view on where to invest and why. * Ensure the products you own contribute measurably to NextEnergy Group’s strategic goal of becoming a data-driven, technology-led business. Stakeholder Engagement & Requirements * Work closely with asset management and investment management teams to understand their workflows, commercial priorities, and pain points — translating these into clear product requirements that engineering teams can act on. * Bring sufficient knowledge of the renewable energy sector to hold informed conversations about asset performance, monitoring, and reporting requirements without needing extensive domain education from stakeholders. * Understand the commercial and financial context in which the business operates — including how assets generate returns and how performance is measured and reported to investors — so that product decisions are grounded in business value. * Run discovery, user research, and stakeholder workshops to surface and validate requirements before committing to build. * Manage stakeholder expectations proactively, providing regular updates on progress, trade-offs, and delivery timelines. Product Delivery * Translate strategy into product epics and user stories with clear acceptance criteria, and manage the product backlog in Azure DevOps. * Lead agile ceremonies with cross-functional squads and coordinate with the PMO on dependencies, timelines, and communications. * Drive delivery to time and quality, escalating risks and blockers early and resolving them decisively. * Oversee handover, user enablement, and adoption of new products and system enhancements. AI & Analytics * Identify opportunities to embed AI and analytics capabilities into asset management and investment management products — including performance reporting, automated workflows, and data-driven decision support. * Partner with data and AI teams to define requirements and ensure responsible use of operational and financial data. Risk, Governance & Compliance * Partner with compliance, security, and data governance colleagues to ensure products adhere to policy, maintain appropriate audit trails, and meet regulatory obligations. * Monitor and mitigate product-related risks throughout the product lifecycle. * Stay current on relevant regulatory developments in the energy sector and ensure these are reflected in product planning where necessary. Vendor & Partner Management * Evaluate and manage third-party technology vendors and delivery partners across the asset monitoring and investment analytics space. * Run structured vendor assessments, support commercial negotiations, and hold partners accountable to contractual commitments. * Run steering forums with decision-ready materials suitable for both operational and investment management audiences. SKILLS & COMPETENCIES To be successful in this role, you will demonstrate: * Working knowledge of the renewable energy or infrastructure sector — sufficient to understand how assets are managed, how performance is measured, and what matters commercially to the business. * Commercial acumen: able to connect product decisions to business outcomes, understand how assets generate returns, and engage credibly with stakeholders on the financial and operational metrics that matter to them. * Strong product instincts: able to identify the right problem to solve, scope it clearly, and build a compelling case for prioritisation. * Demonstrated ability to translate complex business requirements into well-structured, deliverable technology products. * Experience leading delivery in an agile environment, with a track record of shipping products on time and to quality. * Credible stakeholder manager — comfortable engaging with senior business stakeholders and translating their needs without deferring to them on product decisions. * Excellent communication skills: able to present clearly to non-technical business stakeholders and technical delivery teams alike. * Ability to identify and frame opportunities for AI and analytics to add measurable business value. * Delivery focus with strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills. * Passion for sustainability and the mission to lead the transition to clean energy. * Commitment to NextEnergy Group’s values: be a leader, build trust, be responsible, be innovative, and ‘bring your alpha’. EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS  * 2–5 years of experience as a Product Manager, with a track record of delivering data or analytics products in a technology or digital function. * Background or meaningful exposure to renewable energy, infrastructure asset management, or investment management — whether through a technology role, a consulting role, or direct experience in those sectors. * Commercial awareness: experience working on products where understanding business performance, financial reporting, or investment returns was important to making good product decisions. * Familiarity with solar asset management or related renewable energy operations is advantageous; experience with battery energy storage systems (BESS) is a particular plus. * Fluency in agile product delivery practices. * Experience managing technology vendors and third-party delivery partners. * Experience working in a regulated industry (energy, infrastructure, financial services, or similar). * Excellent written and verbal communication skills. * The right to work in the UK. WHAT WE OFFER  * A busy role in a supportive team, with plenty of opportunities to learn * International scope – we operate in over 8 countries * Hybrid working – we will need you in the central London (Mayfair) office at least twice a week, but you will normally be able to work remotely for the remainder of the week * 30 days’ holiday per year (3 of which are taken during the festive shutdown in December) * Private pension * BUPA Healthcare for you and qualifying dependents * Cycle to work and electric vehicle leasing schemes * Annual discretionary bonus.
