Company

The earth beneath our feet holds extraordinary, untapped capacity to accelerate the clean energy transition. Bedrock Energy is on a mission to transform the heating and cooling of buildings, using carbon-free, hyper-efficient, and ultra-safe geothermal energy to radically reduce costs for people and the environment. Incorporated in 2022, Bedrock has raised $22M in Seed and Series A capital from top investors including Titanium Ventures, Energy Impact Partners, and Wireframe Ventures, and our work has been covered in publications likeTechCrunch,Canary Media, andAxios. We are gathering exceptional talent to scale geothermal energy to decarbonize buildings everywhere. We’re seeking creative, collaborative, proactive team members who inspire us with their high standards of excellence, integrity, and commitment to our shared mission.

Role

As the first Product Strategist at Bedrock, you will set the business rationale and prioritization for our cross-functional product planning. Bedrock’s core product offering is technology-enabled construction of geothermal heating/cooling systems. 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.

Bedrock Energy is building a strong culture based on our Organizational Values. In addition, we are committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace.

Distill user needs from the Field Operations and Customer/Partner stakeholders; analyze opportunities based on quantifiable impact to our value proposition; serve as “voice of the customer” to validate Product priorities and course-correct as needed

Organize solution opportunities identified by the Operations Engineering and Technology stakeholders into frameworks based on business value (customer needs, installation economics, and energy economics); conduct market/competitive research and quantitative impact analysis as applicable

Articulate above ‘business requirements’ as Product priorities to guide Technology Engineering and Operations Engineering in their functional roadmapping

Architect processes and systems for cross-functional collaboration and progress on the expansion of Bedrock’s overall Product/Capabilities:

Define metrics for evaluating customer and business impact, make them widely visible, and ensure functional teams are leveraging them to make data-driven prioritization decisions for Technology Engineering and Operations Engineering

Structure clear information flows and workflows across functional teams, improving consistency of nomenclature and aligning expectations about delivery and documentation

Track cross-functional delivery schedule; flag risks, uncertainties, and bottlenecks to leadership

Qualifications

10+ years of experience overall, with 5+ years of experience owning the technoeconomics of a hardware business, ideally with experience across heavy capital equipment, industrial automation, robotics, manufacturing, and/or operationally intensive services

Start-up experience is a must, ideally in an early-stage technology venture with frequent new product definition and MVP prioritization

Successful responsibility for bottoms-up end-to-end product economics, from market research and product definition to development and deployment

Strong instinct for market value, customer success, and business outcomes in an B2B enterprise segment, intuitively translating quantitative data to product/business decisions amid ambiguity and complexity

Demonstrated ability to establish credibility with engineering leadership, understand system dependencies, and navigate/negotiate trade-offs with technical and business stakeholders

Extremely strong, detailed, and organized communication skills, able to clearly map out the relevant system and key levers, and then articulate actionable decision-trees

Appetite to dive quickly into multi-disciplinary technical challenges as a layperson and extract the most relevant insights for cross-functional audiences, including the ability to adjust communication style based on audience

Positive, “yes if” mindset with a bias towards hands-on action, proactive resourcefulness, ability to drive to consensus and next steps, and healthy interpersonal respect and empathy for different viewpoints

Willingness to travel -- starting with 50% time in Austin, TX at first when ramping up, then shifting to 25% time in Austin, TX with 25% travel to other locations
