Do you want to shape the future of renewable energy? And help transform how thousands of energy assets participate in tomorrow's electricity markets?
At CheckWatt, we're a team of dedicated innovators on a mission to drive a sustainable future for Sweden and beyond. We are a green tech company experiencing rapid growth in the environmental and energy sector. As part of our exciting growth journey, we are now looking for a Product Owner to strengthen our Product organization and help shape the next generation of Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and Energy Management System (EMS) solutions.
With our leading technology, we're revolutionizing virtual power plants by connecting solar panels, wind farms, batteries, and other flexible energy resources into a smarter and more sustainable electricity system.
Your Contribution
