Our products come equipped with batteries, accelerating electrification and turning every customer home into a source of grid flexibility. \nWe're looking for an Energy Products Program Manager to help make our energy programs and pilots a success. You'll be the day-to-day operator behind these programs involving Copper's products, working closely with our internal teams and external partners to keep programs on track from scheduling to installation to VPP event dispatch. You'll also partner closely with Engineering and Product through the design, build, and test of new products - tracking development milestones, surfacing risks early, and making sure field and pilot learnings make their way back into the product roadmap.\nThis is a hands-on, execution-oriented role: you'll run meetings, chase blockers, keep documentation tight, and be the person that everyone - internally and externally - can count on to know where things stand. You'll get exposure to the full range of the work, with room to grow into owning more of it over time. You may also help keep a pulse on the policy and market landscape, support research into new program and partnership opportunities, and help evaluate promising new business development or go-to-market ideas. This role reports to the Director of Energy Products.\nWe value diversity and are committed to building a team that reflects a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. We’re especially focused on fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone can contribute to our shared mission. Please provide a resume and cover letter that reflects your qualifications for this role.\nThis is a full-time position and it is expected to be in-office 4 days per week with 1 day flexible for in-office or remote work. Our office is located in Berkeley, CA.\nWhat you'll do\nOwn day-to-day execution of Copper's pilots and programs - tracking program status, resolving blockers, and keeping everyone aligned on progress.\nServe as the primary operational point of contact for our partners.\nPrepare for and run recurring program meetings, ensuring clear notes, action items, and follow-through.\nMaintain program documentation, trackers, and reporting so that pilot status is always accurate and easy to communicate.\nPartner with Engineering and Product throughout the new product development lifecycle - tracking milestones across design, prototyping, test builds, and early deployments and flagging schedule or scope risks early.\nTranslate technical requirements and constraints between Engineering and external stakeholders (partners, installers, certification bodies) and ensure that nothing gets lost in translation.\nSupport installations in person as needed, building enough fluency with the product and install process to be a credible resource in the field.\nHelp scope and stand up additional pilots and energy programs as Copper's energy services portfolio grows.\nTrack relevant policy, regulatory, and market developments (VPP programs, incentive structures, etc.) and flag as needed for Copper's programs and partnerships.\nSupport market research to size and evaluate new program, partnership, or channel opportunities - pulling together data, comparables, and first-pass analysis.\nWhat you'll bring\nSuccessful track record in program management, operations, or similar execution-focused roles - ideally with exposure to renewable energy, field operations, or hardware.\nBackground in mechanical, electrical, or systems engineering.Strong organizational instincts: you keep multiple moving pieces on track without letting anything slip.\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication - high attention to detail and comfortable running meetings and being the face of a program to outside partners.\nBias toward action - you're comfortable in ambiguity and default to figuring things out rather than waiting for instructions.\nEager to work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and operations teams.\nCurious and analytical - energized by digging into a policy filing, analyzing product performance data, or making the case to launch a new program.\nWillingness to travel locally and support installs in person as needed.\nIdeally: \nExperience working alongside hardware or product engineering teams, ideally through a design-build-test cycle (NPI, DVT/PVT, or similar).\nExperience with VPPs, residential energy programs, solar, batteries, HVAC, or other home electrification.\nExposure to energy policy, utility programs, or regulatory processes.\nLocation\nThis is a full-time position and it is expected to be in-office 4 days per week with 1 day flexible for in-office or remote work. Our office is located in Berkeley, CA. \nCompensation & Benefits\nThe salary range for this role is $150-170,000. We are committed to equitable compensation, and we offer a generous benefits package to make sure you have the support you need. \nEqual Employment Opportunity\nWe are committed to creating an equitable and inclusive environment for all our employees and are seeking to build a team that reflects the diversity of the people we hope to serve with our products. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.\nAbout Us\nCopper's vision is a future where every home is electrified with abundant clean energy. Our mission is to make decarbonization accessible to everyone by selling electric home appliances that enrich their daily lives. We're reducing the cost of electrification by integrating batteries into household appliances, starting with the stove. Our work has been funded by the Department of Energy, in an effort to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and increase energy resilience with products that are high-performance, safe, intuitive, and robust. As we build our team and pursue our mission, we do it with a strong sense of our core values because it's not just what you do, it's how you do it. You'll see this in high-level decisions, how we run meetings, our day-to-day work, hiring, and our interactions with customers and the broader community. We intend to have a massive impact on our team, our neighborhood, and the world.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6186,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy & Utilities","Fossil Fuels","HVAC & Refrigeration"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-15T16:01:56Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.357,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":61,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-07T05:47:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/copper-energy-products-program-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/copper-energy-products-program-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-08T00:54:34Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1498,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3502,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673763},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673763"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcopper-energy-products-program-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcopper-energy-products-program-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcopper-energy-products-program-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/copper-energy-products-program-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcopper-energy-products-program-manager"}]}
