Who We Are
Tech company at heart. Purpose-driven at core. Flower consists of a diverse group of innovative individuals with a strong desire to improve the state of the world.
At Flower we believe trust collaboration and diversity are essential to not only create an inclusive work environment but also drive career growth. By embracing varying perspectives we allow creativity and progress to flourish.
To accelerate towards our goal of becoming the pioneering force powering the energy system of tomorrow we are now looking for a systems-minded technically grounded Senior Product Manager to own our trading platform.
The opportunity
Were hiring a Senior Product Manager to own our Trading Platform. This is a platform role not a trading one. Our optimizer decides what our assets should do across markets; the trading platform makes it happen running our market integrations submitting bids and schedules dispatching through our own and third-party control systems handling deviations and proving what was actually delivered all the way through settlement.
As Flower grows across markets and asset types the systems counterparties and market rules the platform works with keep multiplying. This isnt integration plumbing. Its designing how decisions and information flow through a system with more parties in it every year and turning that diversity into one scalable product rather than a collection of one-off solutions. The trading platform wins by reach and reliability.
The product is getting its first dedicated product manager. Youd be part of our product and market intelligence organization working cross-functionally with engineering and trading and an important interface toward our commercial teams and partners.
We use a Shape Up-inspired methodology fixed cycles cool-down weeks co-shaped pitches with defined appetite. We chose this because you cant build a world-class trading platform by spreading effort across everything at once.
What youll do
Own the product. Direction roadmap and objectives for the trading platform accountable for whether it delivers not for how many features ship.
Shape product bets. Find the highest-leverage problems frame them clearly and define what a good solution looks like then leave room for the team to figure out how.
Treat interfaces as the product. Well-designed boundaries are what let the platform take on new markets systems and partners quickly and reliably. You own them and hold their quality bar.
Sequence expansion deliberately. New markets integrations and counterparty types you decide what we take on in what order and what we decline and make those trade-offs legible across the business.
Work the external ecosystem. Drive build-vs-buy decisions select the vendors we build on and make things work with systems our partners have already chosen accountable for the outcome without controlling both sides.
Bring commercial context to technical decisions. Integration commitments show up in customer timelines and partner trust. Spend real time with the teams that depend on the platform.
What you wont do
Manage a team. Groom a backlog. Spend your days in status meetings. We use Linear Shape Up and docs over tickets.
Who you are
Were not looking for a particular background. Were looking for a particular way of thinking.
5 years in product roles with at least some of that time at companies where product management is taken seriously as a discipline.
A systems thinker in the full sense. Clean interfaces matter but the craft is deciding how systems should communicate: where a decision belongs in the stack what information flows where and what each layer needs to know.
You see the general case behind the specific request. When five integrations each need something slightly different you look for the one design that serves them all and you know when to ship the simple thing instead.
Youre motivated by leverage not spotlight. Platform work pays off in what other teams can suddenly do often quarters later. You know how to build your own evidence that its working and that kind of impact satisfies you.
You find reliability genuinely interesting. Failure modes deviation handling proving what actually happened here these are the product and youd rather own them than abstract them away.
You can hold a boundary under commercial pressure. Youve said no or yes but like this to requests with revenue attached and kept the relationship intact.
You can hold your own in technical discussions reading an interface contract reasoning about what belongs on each side of a boundary. Your users here are often other systems so this matters more than in most product roles.
Intellectually curious. Energy markets are deep complex and full of structural shifts. Youll need to learn this domain and youre excited by that.
You use AI tools to go deeper and move faster whether thats exploring data testing ideas or getting into territory that used to require a specialist.
Fluent in English. Clear and precise in writing and speaking.
Youll recognize yourself in some of this
Youve built platform API or integration-heavy products where your customers included both internal teams and external parties and the interface was the product.
Youve worked in energy payments market infrastructure or another domain where correctness is existential and someone audits what you executed.
Youve worked with external vendors and partner-chosen systems including evaluating what to build versus buy and delivering outcomes through integrations where you only controlled one side.
Youve taken something from one bespoke implementation to a standardized many and have opinions about when that transition should happen.
You have experience with Shape Up or a strong opinion on why most agile processes create more overhead than value.
This probably isnt your role if
Your energy comes from user-facing discovery visual craft or rapid experimentation loops. (Genuinely great skills just not what this product rewards.)
You need your impact to be directly attributable to feel real.
Location
Our beautiful office is located in the heart of Södermalm just a short walk from Slussen subway station. We encourage in-office collaboration but support a hybrid work model.
