Senior Product Manager – PPA, Energy Trading Platform

Responsibilities

• Product ownership across three products: You will own and refine our three core products – the Otark Marketplace (PPA platform), Green SPOT (our spot exchange for green power) and 1-Click PPA (the fully automated PPA execution).
• Translate the energy domain: You will translate the realities of the energy market – PPA execution, balancing group management, spot and forward trading – into clear product requirements.
• Customer discovery with industry professionals: You will conduct in-depth conversations with corporate buyers, direct marketers and traders on equal footing.
• Strategy & roadmap: You own your features as a “mini-CEO” from the first idea through domain validation to go‑live – prioritizing based on real market and customer value.
• High-efficiency handoff: You work closely with our engineering team and deliver not vague tickets but precise, well‑thought‑out, domain‑validated requirements. Where it’s faster, you build prototypes yourself (see AI workflow).

Requirements

• Energy domain expertise (essential): You have solid experience in the energy market and understand how the pieces fit together – PPA structures and execution, balancing group management, spot and/or forward trading.
• Trading & settlement a strong plus: Experience in power trading and trade settlement is a major advantage and will make your application stand out.
• Product DNA: You have previously worked as a Product Manager or Product Owner and have taken products from concept to market.
• Analytical powerhouse: You have extremely quick comprehension and a sharp mind.
• AI as a tool: You are open to working with modern AI tools (e.g., Claude, Code assistants or comparable AI agents) to rapidly validate ideas and build prototypes.
• Basic understanding of web front-ends (HTML/CSS/JS) is a plus – we’ll teach you the rest.
• Languages: Native-level German (required for communication with German customers) and fully fluent English.
• Residence: You currently reside in Germany.
