Junior Product Manager (Battery Analytics)

1. About Us

SmartHelio is a fast-growing deep-tech startup building the next generation of analytics for solar and energy systems. Our platform already powers high-scale solar monitoring, fault detection, and plant-level intelligence across multiple geographies. Learn more at www.smarthelio.com. Now we’re expanding aggressively into battery intelligence—closing the loop between solar, storage, and real-world performance.

If you want to build in a space where the impact is tangible (and the grid actually smiles back), you’ll fit right in.

2. The Role

We’re looking for a Junior Product Manager who’s hungry, frugal, and wired for zero-to-one execution. Someone who has worked on a product end-to-end—shipped features, gotten punched in the face by customers, iterated fast, and seen early scale.

Location: This is a full-time, in-office role based in Noida, Delhi. If you like being close to the action, you’ll appreciate the energy of a tight, fast-moving team.

You’ll be responsible for:

1. Owning key slices of our battery analytics roadmap.
2. Translating raw field data, customer pain points, and engineering constraints into clear product requirements.
3. Working tightly with design and engineering to build features from scratch, test them with customers, and ship to production.
4. Helping shape dashboards, APIs, alerts, and intelligence models for battery monitoring and performance optimization.
5. Diving deep into inverter logs, battery parameters, failure modes, and plant-level workflows (we’ll teach you the domain, but curiosity is non-negotiable).
6. Bringing clarity where things are messy, and momentum where things are slow.

This role is perfect for someone who wants to build an impactful product in short-time while maintaining concrete documentation.

3. Must-have requirements

Proven product-team experience

1. 1–2 years of proven experience working with a product team on a SaaS product (preferably B2B) in a clean-tech company / project, in roles such as Product Analyst, Junior Product Manager, Feature Owner, Product Owner, Associate PM.
2. Evidence of end-to-end feature delivery: participated in discovery → PRD/user stories → execution with engineering/design → release → iteration based on user feedback.
3. Strong design-thinking capabilities.

Product execution fundamentals

1. Strong grip on product requirement writing: PRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases, release notes.
2. Ability to run feature scoping with engineering: trade-offs, MVP definition, milestones, clear “Definition of Done”.
3. Comfort working in Agile/Scrum/Kanban: backlog grooming, sprint planning, stand-ups, retros. Extremely comfortable with SCRUM tools like JIRA and Notion.

Analytical and data-driven thinking

1. Ability to analyse product usage and customer issues using basic data tools: Excel, Google Sheets (must), JIRA (strongly preferred).
2. Can define and track product KPIs (activation/adoption, retention, time-to-value, alert precision, false positives, etc.).
3. Comfortable with ambiguous/dirty data and arriving at actionable conclusions.

Ownership, customer communication, and empathy

1. Demonstrated high ownership: takes a problem, drives it to closure, communicates risks early.
2. Bias toward frugal experimentation: minimum effort for maximum learning, quick iterations.
3. Ability to speak to customers/users, document pain points, and translate them into structured requirements.
4. Strong written communication: clear documentation, crisp tickets, and decision notes.
5. Ability to coordinate across engineering, design, and ops, and keep execution unblocked.

4. Bonus Points

You’ll stand out if you have:

1. Experience in clean tech, solar, or battery systems (even partial exposure helps)
2. Hands-on experience building a product from scratch or scaling an early-stage feature
3. Comfort digging into technical details: APIs, data models, energy KPIs, or field ops workflows.
4. A bias toward minimalism, experimentation, and learning directly from users.
5. The drive to stretch every rupee, hour, and feature to its maximum output.

If you’ve lived through the chaos of a small team and still want more—perfect.

4. The Final Push

This isn’t a “maintenance PM” job. This is greenfield, high-speed, high-learning work in a sector where India is moving faster than the rest of the world. If you want to build something meaningful in climate tech, grow insanely fast, and be part of a product that actually keeps the lights on—this is your shot.
