The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our time—but it’s also the greatest opportunity for innovation, and a challenge we’re proud to take on. At Overstory, we’re harnessing cutting-edge technology to enable a resilient electrical grid that keeps communities thriving as our world changes.
The grid is the backbone of life as we know it. It powers hospitals, keeps food fresh, and ensures communities stay connected. But extreme weather, aging infrastructure, and growing wildfire risks are putting this critical system under pressure. All of this combined makes the electric utility industry the greatest opportunity for tackling climate change.
One of the leading causes of catastrophic wildfires and power outages? Trees and brush coming into contact with power lines.
That’s where we help. At Overstory, we use AI and advanced satellite imagery to pinpoint and prioritize vegetation risks before they materialize. By giving utilities critical analysis on those risks, we’re helping prevent outages, reduce wildfire risks, and accelerate the transition to a safer, more resilient grid.
Our team spans the Americas and Europe, and we work with utility partners across the Americas and beyond. We’re outdoor enthusiasts, musicians, artists, athletes, parents, and adventurers—15 nationalities strong and growing. What unites us is a passion for solving complex problems, a commitment to climate action, and the belief that technology should be a force for good.
Join us to help us build a more resilient world together.
As a Product Manager at Overstory you will work closely with a designer and engineers to build the capabilities of Overstory’s core product. Overstory’s product was launched three years ago and we are now at a stage of tremendous growth. The product needs to evolve to serve more customer use cases and to tackle more aspects of the climate resilience space.
Your job will be to lead the product development process, define customer problems to be solved, and build consensus around the best way to solve them with stakeholders across our business – e.g., in engineering, design, customer success, and senior leadership – while meeting our business objectives. You’ll work in an agile manner, learning from our customers, iterating quickly, and deciding when to build for a scalable future and when to hack it together. The role will encompass all hands-on PM work such as writing problem statements, balancing product discovery with shipping fast, and deciding on success metrics. It will also include defining team roadmaps, contributing to product strategy and supporting internal teams during the delivery process.
You have a passion for the urgency of solving our climate crisis. You’re comfortable with the ambiguity that comes with working at an early-stage startup and you don’t need to have everything well defined before you act. You can think both short- and long-term so that you can meet near-term deadlines while iterating toward a future vision. You’re able to zoom out and think strategically, while also being extremely detail-oriented in the hands-on work of building a product. You know how to build trust across functions, communicate clearly, and bring people along as things change.
If you don’t meet all of the above yet feel you have lots to offer, please apply anyway.
