Battery Originator
Company Description
Flexcity, a leading European energy tech company, is looking for a Battery Product Manager to join our Product team. This position offers the opportunity to join the Flexcity Product team, alongside the Battery Asset Lead and skilled colleagues from different backgrounds at the company headquarters in Brussels.
Batteries are booming, driven by both the increased volatility of energy prices and the decrease in battery prices. Yet the battery market still needs to mature, and developers are still looking for the optimal partner to help them close financing of the battery and generate the most revenues with the batteries. In this context, Flexcity is building out a significant portfolio of batteries throughout Europe that it operates and optimises.
We are convinced Battery technology will be essential in driving this transition and that the optimal operation of the different energy markets by players such as Flexcity will play a key role in their rollout.
Job Description
As a Battery Product Manager, you will focus on this emerging market, where Flexcity aims to be a market leader. You will play a key role in sourcing and closing new battery contracts. You will have work internationally but with a particular focus on the Dutch market.
