About the role

Imagine a Role That Doesn't Just Fill a Gapโ€”but Propels Your Career Forward ๐Ÿš€ You might be thinking, "Thermostats? How transformative can they really be?" But at Mysa, we see thermostats as powerful tools in the fight against climate changeโ€”and as a platform for your next career breakthrough. Our Demand Response Revolution By The Numbers: ๐Ÿ”ฅ - Half a million thermostats ๐ŸŒก๏ธ already in the market - Hundreds of thousands of homes ๐Ÿ  powered by Mysa technology - Tens of thousands of devices ๐Ÿ“ฑ actively enrolled in DR programs - Partnerships with major utilities โšก across North America including BC Hydro, NS Power, Puget Sound Energy, Hydro Quebec, and Hydro One to name only a few. - Doubled DR enrollment every year ๐Ÿ“ˆ for the past 3 years (and planning to do it again!) Now, we're looking for someone who's ready to choose their dream job, not just get their next jobโ€”a role that will not only challenge you but also transform your career trajectory. If you're excited by the prospect of leveraging advanced AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, WindSurf, Cursor, etc.) to prototype, build, and analyze solutions that double DR enrollment year-over-year, then this is the move you've been waiting for. So what is DR? ๐Ÿค” Demand Response: Imagine rush hour traffic on a major bridge ๐Ÿš™๐Ÿšš๐Ÿš“. Instead of spending billions to widen it for just two hours a day, what if we could incentivize just 15% of drivers to shift their commute by 30 minutes? Traffic flows, everyone wins. That's DR. When everyone blasts their AC at 5pm, the grid chokes. Instead of building expensive power plants that sit idle 90% of the time, we coordinate small thermostat adjustments across thousands of homes โ€“ so slight you'll never notice, but powerful enough to prevent blackouts and eliminate the need for dirty "peaker" plants. ๐ŸŒฟ With half a million thermostats already deployed, we're not just talking theory. We're building North America's largest virtual power plant, one smart home at a time. ๐Ÿ’ช The Job You'll be Doing (Not Just a Role) ๐Ÿ’ผ At Mysa, the Product Manager โ€“ Demand Response Initiatives isn't simply a title; it's the tool you'll use to solve your current career challenges and build a portfolio of impact. In this role, you're not merely managing projectsโ€”you're shaping the future of energy. What You'll Actually Do: ๐Ÿš€ - Driving DR Innovation: ๐Ÿ’ก Lead and scale our DR programs, turning a network of hundreds of thousands of homes into a dynamic, energy-saving force. - Design and execute programs that double enrollment YoY - Create features that drive higher customer participation - Develop strategies that increase savings per household - Build measurement frameworks that prove our impact - Leveraging AI for Transformation: ๐Ÿค– Utilize cutting-edge AI tools to prototype new features, run data-driven experiments, and uncover insights. - Use tools like Claude and ChatGPT to accelerate prototyping - Analyze millions of thermostat data points to identify patterns - Create predictive models that optimize energy savings - Automate routine tasks to focus on high-impact work - Strategic Utility Partnerships: ๐Ÿค Work side-by-side with some of the largest utilities in North America. - Navigate complex utility requirements and regulatory frameworks - Negotiate win-win partnership structures that scale our impact - Translate utility needs into product requirements - Present Mysa's value proposition to utility decision-makers - Cross-Functional Leadership: ๐Ÿง  Collaborate with diverse teams across the organization. - Partner with Engineering to build and deploy solutions - Work with Marketing to drive customer engagement - Coordinate with Customer Support to ensure smooth program operation - Collaborate with Data Analytics to measure and optimize results The Progress You'll Make ๐Ÿ“ˆ Impact on Scale: You'll be the architect behind programs that have doubled DR enrollment every year for the last 3 years (yes, we're serious! ๐Ÿคฏ), pushing boundaries further with another doubling in the coming year. With hundreds of thousands of homes already equipped with Mysa products and tens of thousands enrolled in DR programs, your playground for innovation is massive. Utility Partnership Expansion: You'll forge and strengthen relationships with utilities across North America ๐Ÿค, from small electric cooperatives to some of the largest investor owned utilities. AI-Enhanced Decision Making: Your ability to harness AI tools will unlock new efficiencies and insights, leading to measurable improvements in energy savings and customer engagement. Personal Growth: As you overcome complex challenges and drive innovative solutions, you'll acquire skills and experiences that are the hallmark of a leader in a transformative industry.
