We're a product-oriented startup : the platform isn't an accessory to the business, it is the business. We're looking for someone to set its direction — with the solid technical foundation needed to lead the development team, not just describe what they'd like built.

? What you'll do

Product vision and strategy

- Define the product vision and strategy, turning the evolution of the decentralised energy market into an executable roadmap
- Decide what we build and, above all, what we don't: priorities, trade-offs, release sequencing
- Lead discovery, user research and validation, working closely with the Energy division, our partners and real users
- Own the end-to-end user experience: we serve prosumers, professionals, businesses and public administrations, with very different levels of energy literacy
- Define product metrics and use them to drive decisions, not to justify them after the fact
- Drive go-to-market alongside the commercial team: positioning, pricing, evolution of the offering

Technical leadership

- Own architecture and stack decisions together with the development team, with an eye on scalability, reliability and cost
- Ensure quality, security, data management and regulatory compliance
- Stay close enough to the technical detail to be useful: reading a spec isn't enough here — you need to be able to challenge a solution
- Manage relationships with technology vendors and partners

Team and organisation

- Build and grow the product and engineering team: hiring, roles, delivery processes
- Establish a sustainable way of working: release cadence, technical debt management, the relationship between product and internal stakeholders
- Report directly to the management team, with ownership of the division's objectives, budget and KPIs

? Who we're looking for
- Degree in Computer Engineering,



Computer Science, Management Engineering or equivalent
- At least 5 years of experience in product leadership roles (CPO, Head of Product, Lead PM), ideally in startup or scale-up environments
- Proven management ability : you've already built, led and grown product and engineering teams
- Demonstrable product vision : you can start from a user problem and arrive at a defensible roadmap, not just a tidy backlog
- Solid technical foundations : cloud architecture, modern web development, APIs, data modelling, security. We're not asking you to write code every day — we're asking you to challenge an architectural decision and spot technical debt before it becomes a problem
- Experience across the full lifecycle of a digital product, from MVP to scale
- The ability to communicate with non-technical stakeholders and turn complexity into clear decisions
- Interest in the energy sector; prior domain experience is a plus, not a requirement
- Excellent English
- And above all, plenty of cazzimma ("a determined and resolute attitude or behaviour, interpreted favourably as an expression of strength and personality" – Treccani Encyclopaedia, 2014)

? What we offer
- Full-time contract, compensation commensurate with experience (RAL >60k€)
- A dedicated incentive package , with a variable component tied to product and company growth objectives
- Full ownership of product and technology, with real autonomy over the decisions
- A live platform, real users and an ambitious roadmap: plenty to build, little to inherit
- Hybrid working
- Offices in Benevento/Avellino/Salerno/Torino/TBD
