Product Manager

Company Overview
Arbor stands at the intersection of technology and energy, committed to untangling the complex web of energy choices for consumers. With our recent $9M funding round, our mission has never been clearer: to simplify energy decisions, helping consumers save money and ultimately reduce carbon emissions.

Role Summary
We’re excited to hire the first Product Manager at Arbor. We’re seeking a highly motivated and impact-driven individual to lead the development of Arbor’s supplier-facing product.

In this role, you’ll bridge technical teams and external supplier relationships, ensuring the product delivers the best rates to users while driving value for suppliers.

At Arbor we empower our product teams to solve hard problems in ways that our customers love and that work for our business. You’re accountable for ensuring our efforts create meaningful value, contributing a deep knowledge of our users, suppliers, and the various constraints from energy, regulation, and the competitive landscape. You’ll collaborate closely with your product designer and engineers as well as our partner commercial, data, marketing, and customer support teams. You’ll leverage our collective passion to discover and deliver innovative solutions to the market.
