Product Manager (Asset & Investment Management – Technology Solutions)
About the Role
We are seeking a Product Manager to lead the design, development, and delivery of technology products that support NextEnergy Group’s asset management and investment management functions. This role sits within Technology & Digital Services (TDS) and acts as the key bridge between business stakeholders and the engineering, data, and delivery teams responsible for building the tools they rely on.
You will be responsible for understanding how the business manages its renewable energy asset portfolio and how investment performance is tracked, reported, and interrogated—translating these needs into well-scoped, well-delivered technology products. You will own the roadmap, drive delivery, and ensure that what gets built creates genuine business value.
We are looking for a technology product professional who brings sufficient commercial and sector awareness to engage credibly with asset management and investment management stakeholders, ask the right questions, and make sound product decisions. While you do not need to be a domain expert, you must understand how the business works and what drives value.
Key Responsibilities

- Ensure your products contribute measurably to NextEnergy Group’s strategic goal of becoming a data-driven, technology-led business.
Stakeholder Engagement & Requirements
- Work closely with asset management and investment management teams to understand workflows, commercial priorities, and pain points—translating these into clear product requirements engineering teams can act on.
- Bring sufficient knowledge of the renewable energy sector to hold informed conversations about asset performance, monitoring, and reporting requirements without needing extensive domain education.
- Understand the commercial and financial context (e.g., how assets generate returns and how performance is measured/reported to investors) to ensure decisions are business-value grounded.
- Run discovery, user research, and stakeholder workshops to surface and validate requirements before committing to build.
- Manages stakeholder expectations proactively, providing regular updates on progress, trade-offs, and delivery timelines.
Product Delivery
- Translate strategy into product epics and user stories with clear acceptance criteria, and manage the product backlog in Azure DevOps.
- Lead agile ceremonies with cross-functional teams and coordinate with the PMO on dependencies, timelines, and communications.
- Drive onschedule, high-quality delivery, escalating risks and blockers early and resolving them decisively.
- Oversee integration, user enablement, and adoption of new products and system enhancements.
