We are working with a well-funded, dynamic energy technology company that is transforming access to power in emerging markets. Their mission is simple but ambitious: to deliver affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy to communities that lack traditional infrastructure.

Backed by a major UK energy investor, the business has already established operations across several African countries and partners with international manufacturers to deliver scalable battery and storage solutions. With a strong CEO and leadership team in place, they are now seeking a Head of Product to take full ownership of the product strategy and roadmap.

The Role

As Head of Product, you will:

• Define and deliver the end-to-end product lifecycle, from concept through to launch, scaling, and iteration.

• Translate customer needs in emerging markets into scalable product features and solutions.

• Manage relationships with international manufacturing partners (particularly in Asia) to ensure quality, innovation, and cost effectiveness.

• Work closely with the CEO and leadership team to shape the company’s strategy and growth.

• Build and lead a small product/engineering team, ensuring alignment across hardware, software, and operations.

• Balance technical innovation with commercial viability to deliver impact at scale.

About You

We are looking for someone who brings a mix of technical expertise, commercial acumen, and entrepreneurial drive.

• Strong background in science/engineering (e.g. batteries, energy systems, hardware, or related technologies).

• Proven track record in product leadership – strategy, roadmap, execution, and delivery.

• Experience working with international supply chains and manufacturing partners.

• Exposure to emerging markets (desirable but not essential).

• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, scale-up environment, with the ability to wear multiple hats.

• A purpose-driven mindset and commitment to delivering solutions that make a global impact.

What’s on Offer

• Opportunity to join a well-funded, purpose-driven scale-up backed by a leading UK energy investor.

• Play a pivotal role in shaping the future of affordable power access in emerging markets.

• Competitive salary with performance-related incentives.

• Sheffield base with international travel to partners and markets.

If you’re passionate about energy transition, product innovation, and making a tangible difference, this role offers a unique platform to combine all three.
