VP Product – Virtual Power Plant (d/f/m)
AI Summary
Leads product vision, strategy, and execution for a residential Virtual Power Plant across assets, markets, and countries; builds and manages a product and analytics team; partners with technology and business leaders to drive product outcomes in the energy flexibility space.
About this role
Short Facts
Flexa is building Europe's largest residential virtual power plant - and we're doing it fast. In under two years we've connected tens of thousands of homes and crossed 500 MW of controllable capacity, making us already Germany's largest residential VPP. We dispatch EVs, batteries and solar across a growing fleet, trading flexibility on real-time energy markets and creating unparalleled value for our customers.
We're now looking for a VP Product to own the product function end to end - the person who sets the vision, builds the team, and drives the product from where it is today to where it needs to be across new assets, customers, markets and countries. This is one of the key leadership roles at Flexa: you will lead the product vision, deepen our flexibility expertise across every revenue stream and shape the future of our product alongside our technology and business leaders.
Location: Munich, Germany
Employment Type: Full-Time, indefinite term
Working Mode: Office-first work set-up
Salary Range: € 125.000 – 160.000 per year gross
Language Requirement: C1 Level English; German is a plus
Domain Expertise required: Energy (Flexibility, HEMS/VPP, Energy Markets)
Your Responsibilities
As VP Product, you will lead our product management and product analytics functions and own the product end to end.
This includes:
Lead the product vision, strategy and roadmap for our VPP, in alignment with Flexa’s company goals
Build, lead and grow our product management and product analytics teams of 10+ people, and continue building a high-performing product culture
Partner as an equal with our technology and business leaders to shape company strategy and turn it into product outcomes
Set the direction on product decisions, grounded in deep domain judgement: asset control (EV, heat pump, battery, PV), forecasting, optimisation, market participation, revenue stacking, (re)dispatch
Drive product innovation beyond today's regulatory frame — anticipate and shape upcoming market designs and pioneer new flexibility revenue streams before they're standard
Drive our product expansion into new countries, markets, asset classes and partners
Expand the product analytics backbone and own the communication towards key stakeholders: the metrics, experiments and data products that show the potential and the actual performance of our VPP
Champion the end-to-end customer experience for homeowners together with our partners
Set and uphold the bar for how product is done at Flexa - discovery, prioritisation, delivery and measurement - ensuring we ship the right things, not just things fast
Your Profile
Mandatory Requirements
Significant product management experience of +5 years, with a proven track record of building and launching complex, technical products
Proven leadership experience: you have built, led and grown product teams (and ideally analytics teams)
Deep domain expertise in the flexibility space such as VPP, HEMS, home battery / storage or energy trading. If you are not from the energy space, please do not apply.
Strong technical background: comfortable going deep with engineers and data scientists on optimisation, data and systems
A strategic operator who owns outcomes end to end: equally strong at setting the vision and driving execution
Excellent analytical, problem-solving and decision-making skills
Experience in a fast-paced startup or scaleup environment
Fluent in English (C1); German is a plus
This role may not be a fit for you if…
You don’t bring domain expertise in flexibility / energy
You are only looking for strategic responsibilities and don’t want to stay close to execution, data and the product itself
You prefer owning a single feature or product area over leading the whole product
You haven’t worked in a fast-paced, build-from-scratch environment
At Flexa, we are committed to diversity – of all backgrounds and experiences. You don’t need 100% of the preferred qualifications to add incredible value to our team. If you’re passionate about what you could accomplish here, we’d love to hear from you.
Your Benefits
Competitive Compensation Package: including salary, benefits and virtual share options
Professional Development: annual development budget of €3,000 for coaching, trainings, books, etc.
Health & Sport Subsidy: company-subsidised sports facilities membership
Jobticket
Lunch/Dinner Allowance: meal allowance on working days as digital meal vouchers
Work Equipment: MacBook or Windows laptop and an ergonomic workplace
Regular Team Events: knowledge sessions, afterwork, sports, offsites, and more
