We are looking to hire a Product Lead that will work closely with the Founders to develop our building energy services offering and take it to market. The Product Lead role is a blend of product development, business development and product marketing.

- Support building a pipeline of customers for our standardized offering.
- Champion, role model, and embed Reshape’s cultural principles (be open and honest, put the customer first, do the right thing, adopt a growth mindset) as we grow.
Requirements for the role:
- Experience in a mid-level product or commercial role within a climate tech, prop tech, construction tech or energy company or a professional services firm (consulting, engineering, etc) serving those industries.
- Ability to engage with customers at all levels in the real estate and property industries.
- Comfort with legal contracts and financial models and assessing their business implications (you are not required to have formal legal or financial training).
- Ability to grasp technical concepts and establish credibility with engineers (you are not required to have formal technical training).
- Bias-to-action and hands-on experience delivering business results.
- Excellent communication skills with fluency in German and English. Must be comfortable presenting to customers and internal audiences, including senior executives.
