• Nira's mission is to convert the US power grid to be 100% fossil-free.
• Nira is a software platform that helps renewable energy developers (solar/wind) find the most profitable land to build new projects.
• We focus on estimating the cost to interconnect with the electrical grid (aka the Interconnection Process). Depending on where developers connect, they may be on the hook to pay millions of dollars to upgrade power lines, substations etc.
• We are profitable!

What you'll do

As a PM at Nira, you'll work on software and data products that our customers use every week. Your work will directly accelerate renewables getting built.

This role is specifically to be the lead PM on Nira's Prospecting product. We need an experienced PM to run our core product that accounts for a majority of our revenue. You'll be responsible for setting the vision for our Prospecting product, and making sure we continue to grow our Prospecting business.

Being a PM at Nira is a unique blend of PM-ing a traditional software product, while having to go deep on a niche domain. Nira operates in the world of Grid Interconnection, and you'll need to be comfortable becoming an expert in a domain you've likely never heard of before. You should be comfortable with high autonomy and ownership. Most importantly, you should be passionate about fixing our climate!
