At Enpal, we are pursuing the dream of building the largest renewable community in Europe. How do we make that happen? Enpal finally simplifies providing solar energy: We rent out solar systems, electricity storage, and wall boxes at an all-inclusive rate, supplemented by a favorable green electricity tariff; all intelligently connected to form an integrated overall solution. True to the motto "digital, decentralized, and 100% renewable", our heart beats both for the rapid development of a company and for combating the greatest challenge of our generation - climate change.

As a Director Of Product- Fleet Operations, you will drive the product strategy and technical vision for our Fleet Operation & Monitoring as well as Guided Installation teams, also having impact on the entire Energy Platform domain with more than 60 people. Whilst bringing our internal tooling (e.g., Dashboards, software for PV and heat pump installers, PV plant monitoring systems) to the next level and shaping its future vision, you work closely with the IoT and Cloud teams to ensure the right data strategy. This Domain is currently being shaped and significantly expanded to secure the next growth phase for Enpal and you should be the core building block in shaping its future. You bring extensive product and leadership experience, a strong technical background and curiosity to dive deep when needed. Energy and/or IoT knowledge is a big plus.

We offer speed, agility, and steep career growth. Our vision to make sustainable solar energy available to everyone can only come to life through a customer-centric, product-oriented view and cohesive collaboration between software development, product management as well as lean, experiment-driven business development.

Join us and grow your professional skills, take part in the energy revolution, and take ownership of the sustainable change you want to see in the world!
