Specifically, this role will analyze our technologies and methods, articulate the impact of our innovations for geothermal deployment, and shape the product-market targeting of our offerings. This role will ensure that we are building our technology and operational capabilities in the most cash efficient manner per thermal ton of geothermal energy.
This role will work closely with our Technology Engineering, Operational Engineering, Field Operations, and Customer Engineering teams to document and communicate a holistic geothermal heating/cooling value proposition.In these earliest stages as a geothermal heating/cooling company, Product Strategy will focus on continuous cost improvement, capability expansion, and risk reduction. You should have an instinct for quantitative business value, comfort with heavy equipment “hard-tech”, and deep financial understanding of a construction-oriented service. If successful in this role, you will be the guiding voice of business value for our product.
Responsiblities
