It’s a really exciting time in energy. Help us make a real impact on shaping a better, more sustainable future.
Kraken Utilities
Kraken is the most AI‑driven, innovative, forward‑thinking platform for energy management. From optimizing resources to delivering cost‑effective, exceptional customer experiences through advanced Customer Information Systems (CIS), billing, meter data management, CRM, and AI‑driven communications. We’re now charging the Kraken platform to other utility industries (Water and Broadband) and have built a new team – Kraken Utilities – to re‑architect, design, and develop our software platform to solve complex industry‑wide problems within the water and broadband sectors, such as customer experience and water leak detection. The team is in a very exciting growth phase, with six key clients including Severn Trent, Leep, Portsmouth Water, Essential Energy, TalkTalk, and Cuckoo, and over 120 people worldwide.
Product Manager – Water Industry
We are looking for a Product Manager focused specifically on the water industry—working in a tight‑knit team and collaborating closely with our engineering, implementation, and strategy groups.
What you’ll do
* Proactive Discovery: Act as a product‑led PM. You won’t just manage a backlog; you will proactively drive discovery, identify underlying customer problems, and figure out how to scale and grow your products to deliver massive value.
* Rigorous Delivery & Migrations: Balance your product vision with the realities of enterprise software. You will help steer significant migrations onto the Kraken platform, ensuring high‑stakes, highly complex projects are delivered methodically and successfully for our clients.
* End‑to‑End Autonomy: You will be handed high‑level business goals, not step‑by‑step instructions. You are expected to autonomously navigate ambiguity, prioritise your team’s work, and drive solutions from initial inception to a successful rollout.
* Data‑Driven Impact: Leverage data rigorously to spot new product opportunities and actively measure the impact of what your team delivers. You ensure we are building for measurable outcomes, not just shipping features.
* Embrace New Technologies: You naturally integrate modern tools (including AI) to accelerate your work and explore how new technologies can enhance our product.
* Support the Frontline: Partner with customer teams working on front‑line support to quickly triage operational issues, using these insights to continuously improve the platform.
What you’ll have
* A proven track record in B2B product management (ideally enterprise software). You understand the delicate balance between pushing a visionary product roadmap and delivering on critical, heavy‑lift client commitments. (While we anticipate this usually takes 3 to 5 years of experience, we care far more about your actual impact, high agency, and capability than a strict number of years on your CV.)
* Structured Thinking: Attention to detail and thinking in systems, both are vital for managing complex, high‑volume, business‑critical products and large‑scale migrations in a dynamic environment.
* Strategic Prioritisation: A history of confidently managing competing demands. You recognise what needs to be done immediately to achieve our goals and have the autonomy to say “no” to distractions.
* Tenacity and a “Just Do It” Attitude: You don’t give up at the first hurdle. You are willing to dive deep, get your hands dirty, and push through blockers and failures to deliver real impact.
* Excellent Communication: Strong written and verbal skills with the ability to interact seamlessly with people of varying technical backgrounds. You are a great listener who can spot and harness fantastic ideas from anywhere inside and outside of the business.
* Industry experience: Previous experience in the water industry or other utilities is a bonus, but not a requirement.
