Who are we?
Sidewalk Labs is an urban innovation company that tackles cities' greatest challenges. We create products and solutions, invest in new companies, and help developers build more sustainable, innovative, and equitable places around the world. Our ambitious vision requires us to push ourselves beyond conventional thinking, and we work hard in pursuit of our mission. Our cross-disciplinary team consists of experts from real estate, urban planning, government, finance, technology, and engineering, among other backgrounds.
Our urban innovations include Delve (a generative design product that empowers real estate teams to design better, faster, with less risk), Mesa (an easy-install kit for commercial buildings that cuts energy costs, improves tenant comfort, and simplifies building operations), Pebble (a low-cost vehicle sensor to help manage parking and curb space), and Affordable Electrification (a new way to manage home energy use to meet a customer’s monthly budget). We're also developing an offsite construction company that can deliver high-quality mass timber buildings for more sustainable living and working.
With the potential to radically improve quality of life in cities for all, our work is both exciting and complex. We are working to achieve something unprecedented — help us build it!
What is the role?In your role as a Product Manager, you will be a key member of Sidewalk’s Mesa team, an affordable-by-design hardware and software product with a power optimization backend. In dense cities, like New York, buildings account for roughly 70 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, and commercial buildings have an outsized proportion of those emissions. Enter Mesa, the solution for budget-constrained buildings to become greener, cut costs, increase smarts, and provide tenants with a better experience. For more information on Mesa, please see this video and the launch blog post.
This role involves end-to-end product management. Everything from the “glamorous” side of product management, to the roll-up-your-sleeves side, to the team-player and hustle side. Your work will involve deeply understanding market trends, competitors, and customers in the smart building and energy management space, setting goals and OKRs for the team, developing product roadmaps, establishing structures and frameworks for decision making, implementing and iterating on product development processes -- everything from the strategic work to the tickets and content creation, dealing with many moving pieces and people (customers, engineers, designers, and other team members), and helping build an excellent product and scalable business.
You will lead the product roadmap, and develop deep partnerships with our engineering, design, and sales teams to deliver products to change the trajectory of climate change. You will work with the overall business leads to help set the direction and implement the processes to secure and scale product market fit.
Note: We are currently working remotely, and we expect to eventually re-open our offices when it is safe to return. After re-opening, candidates will be expected to come into the New York office.
