We are seeking a Technical Product Manager to drive the development and success of our core carbon accounting and reporting products at Mangrove. This person will own product specifications end-to-end, ensuring quality, and where needed act as the product before it exists in the market.
This is a rare opportunity to be at an industry leader and shape a solution that is crucial to scaling decarbonization: transparent, auditable MRV. We set the bar extremely high for ourselves: your past track record should speak to your commitment to helping users solve hard problems, and your proven ability to overcome constraints and build the best solution.
The Problems You Will Get to Solve
The portfolio of problems you will own are urgent and extremely interesting. This includes: empowering carbon projects with compliant reporting, creating an industry-standard system for precise carbon accounting, managing data at scale, automating report and insight generation, and tailoring MRV features to specific carbon pathways. You will own requirements, specifications, and product marketing, focusing on delivering outcomes not individual features or completing tasks.
