The Role

As Product Manager at Daylight, you'll be instrumental in shaping our platform that connects users with cleaner, cheaper and more reliable energy. Our network has several key stakeholders, and you will lead product development for each, including homeowners, installers, and DeFi investors.

We're an early-stage startup that's looking for a leader who can take our product vision from concept to market across both mobile and web, consumer and enterprise. You'll partner directly with our CEO on strategic direction while owning day-to-day product execution, freeing leadership to focus on growth and fundraising. You'll be the connecting force between our engineering, design, and business teams, translating complex technical and crypto concepts into engaging user experiences.

This role is ideal for someone who has shipped successful consumer products, understands crypto-native experiences, and is passionate about scaling distributed clean energy. You'll need to navigate the complexity of building user-friendly onramps to DeFi mechanics while creating compelling features that drive daily engagement with energy management. Your work will directly impact the pace at which communities can transition to a more sustainable energy future.

This role is in-person in our New York City office.
