Define the operational backbone of our energy products (tariffs, flexibility services)
Ensure products are designed to handle mass volumes smoothly from the start, preventing operational bottlenecks before they occur
Act as the translator between law and product/tech, converting complex regulatory frameworks into clear logical requirements for Product Owners and Engineering
Design fully automated loops for core international utility processes (like market communication/MaKo or billing validation)
Build the structural foundation that allows our Energy Operations teams to manage exponential growth efficiently
Define the technical and procedural standards for how 1KOMMA5° interacts with traditional players (DSOs, TSOs)
Partner with Product Managers during the discovery phase, identifying regulatory or process complexity upfront and designing smart, scalable workarounds

7+ years at the intersection of Energy Economy and Product/Process Design (e.g. at a digital utility, energy software provider, or specialized consultancy)
Proven track record of designing scalable energy processes (Trading Interfaces, Monitoring Processes) that were successfully implemented in software
Deep understanding of the energy market design also internationally, though with German focus (Different roles, balancing groups..)
Ability to fully grasp regulatory policies (EnWG, MsbG) and translate them into logical product requirements
be able to compare changes/initiatives in different countries
Systematic & Structural mindset: Approach regulatory complexity with a logic-first mindset, breaking down chaotic requirements into clean, executable system rules
Deep Dive Capability: Operate deep in the operational engine room, defining exact data flows and logic gates rather than just high-level concepts
Automation First: Prioritize systemic solutions over manual workarounds, designing processes that handle exponential volume without linear operational effort
Speak the languages of Product (User Stories, Requirements), Tech (APIs, Data Models), and Energy (Edifact, Bilanzkreise) fluently
Excellent English and German skills (German is mandatory for reading regulation)
