Palmetto Focus Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Department Description

Palmetto Home is a branch of Palmetto focused on the democratization of the renewable energy and HVAC industries. We provide homeowners with financial products to benefit from solar power, energy storage systems, and home efficiency through advanced heating and cooling technologies. We empower solar and HVAC sales professionals and installation companies with access to our proprietary platform, financing, customer management system, and milestone quality control system. Our #1 focus is a phenomenal experience for our customers and partners, evidenced in our growing financial product adoption.

As Senior Product Manager for Palmetto Home, you will own end-to-end product strategy and execution for one or more market segments of our consumer financing business. In addition, you'll hold product ownership of the core technical components that power our origination, underwriting, onboarding, and servicing across all segments.

This is a builder's role. You'll work in a fast-growing, rapidly diversifying business unit where the problems are interesting and the opportunity to define something meaningful is real. You'll partner with engineering, design, data, operations, and business leaders - as well as external capital providers, installer partners, and service integrators - to ship products that scale efficiently and create durable value.

Location

This position will be based in Charlotte, NC.

• Translate customer insight into clear problem definitions, scoped solutions, and confident decisions
• Balance commercial and technical perspectives when navigating tradeoffs

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Build strong working relationships with internal stakeholders across operations, business development, servicing, business systems, platform, data, and consumer product teams

• Deploy modern product development practices: ample discovery, rapid validation, outcome-based delivery, iteration. 

AI & Platform Leverage

• Actively identify and apply AI-powered tools and approaches to accelerate discovery cycles, improve team productivity, and make smarter use of data and platform capabilities

Qualifications

• Proven track record owning a roadmap, leading sprint execution, and shipping independently
• Deep fluency with platform workflows, API integrations, and decisioning systems connecting internal and third-party tools
• Strong analytical orientation - comfortable defining metrics, pulling data, and connecting quantitative signals to product decisions
• Iterative thinker with experience running experiments, learning from failure, and using those learnings to move faster
• High-EQ communicator and influencer who can rally cross-functional teams around a clear vision without relying on authority
• Bias toward action: disambiguates fast, moves toward clarity, and knows when to go hands-on
• Entrepreneurial - comfortable starting from zero and building something meaningful from scratch
