Company mission

Aurora's mission is to help create a more sustainable future by pioneering software for powering the world's best solar companies.

Role

Who you are

  • Minimum of 3 years experience building and managing teams of Product Managers bringing technical SaaS products to market
  • You should be passionate about developing the next generation of product leaders, showing them what great execution looks like, and mentoring them through solving increasingly complex problems
  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to convey and bring clarity to complex topics to cross-functional stakeholders
  • Proven track record of analyzing and interpreting complex data models and relationships, leading to the successful development and launch of new products targeting diverse personas and markets
  • Demonstrated history of shipping products quickly and iteratively in a startup environment

Desirable

  • Technical degree, e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, etc
  • 1+ years of equivalent background knowledge or experience working in the solar industry
  • A successful candidate does not necessarily need to be a domain expert, though that is a plus - we strive to hire someone who has at least 3 years of proven experience demonstrating curiosity, logic, and creativity among challenges, as well as leadership and influence across a variety of technical/non-technical functions

What the job involves

  • You will lead a team that powers the platform underpinning all of Aurora’s software products, including leads, proposals, designs, and plan sets. The highly collaborative and deeply technical team partners closely with other product teams to build the foundation on which the transition to solar energy is taking place
  • On any given day the team will be gathering input and vision from the CEO, presenting proposed solutions to customers, or collaborating with other product teams to build elegant solutions that span the entire product suite
  • This role is highly collaborative and cross-functional, and the ideal leader speaks with ease to customers, engineering partners, executives, designers, researchers, subject matter experts, and other product managers
  • You will identify and build key components of our software platform, making them available to internal and external teams through shared workflows, integration frameworks, and API interfaces
  • Your focus on unlocking future opportunities will expand Aurora’s product suite to power the entire solar ecosystem and lead the transition to renewable energy
  • Build and develop a successful team of Product Managers that develops a culture of innovation, collaboration, and respect
  • Craft a strategic vision that evangelizes Aurora's long-term mission, taking into account rapid, repeatable, and sustained growth. Own a product roadmap that moves the company toward your vision and revisit priorities as market conditions change
  • Define metrics and KPIs with tracking mechanisms that measure product success connected to near and long-term goals
  • With cross-functional partners, define and manage capacity ensuring efficient allocation of resources, optimizing for planned and unplanned product initiatives
  • Develop new opportunities. With your finger on the pulse of the market and your viewpoint informed by customers, you are uniquely positioned to discover and develop new opportunities

Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Aurora Solar is a SaaS company helping solar sales companies remotely assess and manage solar installation projects. Solar energy is becoming both a more attractive and more financially viable path for large and smaller scale projects, as prices drop and eco-consciousness rises.

There's considerable market opportunity, with the solar installation industry expected to grow significantly over the next decade, and Aurora Solar is enabling these installations. Aurora wisely offers products that contribute all along the supply chain of solar developments; such as solar sales, engineering design, and automated operations. It has also delivered AI-enabled solutions aimed at streamlining residential solar lead generation, project design, and sales processes.

Aurora Solar has seen significant investment that has allowed it to operate at the front of the sector as it develops, and in 2022 reached the milestone of generating its 10 millionth solar roof design. It has been working to develop new partnerships and integrations, such as with Dividend, Mosaic, and Sungage Financial, to further advance its goal of accelerating solar adoption. In 2024 it was reported that Chinese company Norinco International intended to buy a majority share in Aurora after the latter began developing projects in Bosnia. Regardless of whether the deal occurs, the attention indicates a company well-equipped to facilitate a solar future.
