About the role:
The Associate Product Manager will work as part of the Digitization and Automation team to help Sun King design, develop, and implement intelligent, tech‑enabled solutions to solve a wide variety of business problems.
We are looking for candidates who have an AI‑first approach to product management. The ideal candidate instinctively reaches for an LLM before opening a document, prototypes before writing specifications, and treats “can AI do this better” as the first question rather than an afterthought.
This role covers end‑to‑end product management: requirements gathering, workflow design, testing, stakeholder coordination, and rollouts. The expectation is that all of these responsibilities are executed in an AI‑first way: faster, sharper, and built to scale.

What you will be expected to do:
1. Product Discovery & Problem Framing
  • Work with stakeholders including customers, agents, operations, field teams, and business leads to identify workflow pain points.
  • Document opportunities as structured briefs rather than simple ticket descriptions.
  • Use AI to synthesize inputs, identify patterns, and convert ambiguity into actionable solutions.
2. Prototype Before Spec
  • Build working proofs‑of‑concept using LLM APIs, automation tools, or lightweight scripts.
  • Validate whether an AI‑first approach solves the problem effectively.
  • Ship quickly and learn even faster.
3. Documentation & Handoffs
  • Create sharp, handoff‑ready documentation such as use cases, flow charts, PRDs, and system requirements.
  • Use AI in documentation workflows but ensure accuracy by catching errors that AI may introduce.
4. Execution & Rollouts
  • Coordinate releases, manage testing, and track adoption.
  • Resolve stakeholder queries and issues through WhatsApp, ticketing tools, and email.
  • Own rollout sequencing and ensure readiness across teams.
5. Automation & Data
  • Identify repetitive business processes and automate them using reliable tools.
  • Perform regular analytics to track, monitor, and drive product usage.
6. Collaboration
  • Work closely with cross‑functional groups and the development team throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Keep stakeholders informed at every stage.
7. Travel
Travel as required to Sun King markets, including Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Myanmar, and Tanzania.

You might be a strong candidate if you have/are:
  • A bachelor’s degree in Engineering (mandatory).
  • 1–3 years of prior professional experience in product management, automation, or related technology roles.
  • Hands‑on experience with SQL.
  • A GitHub profile or portfolio with shipped prototypes, automations, or internal tools.
  • Evidence of LLM and AI foundations (Anthropic courses, fast.ai, DeepLearning.AI, or equivalent self‑learning).
  • Experience working with data to track and push product usage.
  • Ability to structure and analyze ambiguous problems.
  • Clear communication skills across workflows, feature descriptions, Slack messages, and stakeholder updates.
  • Proactive attitude and willingness to get hands‑on.
  • Attention to detail and strong documentation skills.

What Sun King offers:
  • Professional growth in a dynamic, rapidly expanding, high-social-impact industry
  • An open-minded, collaborative culture made up of enthusiastic colleagues who are driven by the challenge of innovation towards profound impact on people and the planet.
  • A truly multicultural experience: you will have the chance to work with and learn from people from different geographies, nationalities, and backgrounds.
  • Structured, tailored learning and development programs that help you become a better leader, manager, and professional through the Sun King Center for Leadership.

About
Sun King is the world’s leading off-grid solar energy company, combining cutting-edge product design, fintech, and field operations to deliver energy access for the 1.8 billion people who live without an affordable and reliable electric-grid connection.Sun King has built a new kind of energy utility: distributed, green, customer-centric, and affordable. We bring clean, reliable, decentralized energy directly into people’s lives — from solar kits that provide first-time energy access to multi-kilowatt systems that serve both off-grid users and grid-connected customers powering larger homes, schools, hospitals, farms, offices, and light manufacturing.Already, 25 million homes and businesses rely on Sun King for electricity supply and the appliances and services it enables: lighting, televisions, fans, refrigeration, and smartphones. Sun King combines energy generation, energy-efficient appliances, installation, and financing into one seamless offering. Think of it as a distributed utility, designed for wherever energy is needed and designed to scale with its users as incomes and energy needs grow.Sun King makes solar products affordable to low-income households and businesses via ‘pay-as-you-go’ (PAYG) purchase financing. Sun King installs solar after customers pay a small deposit. Customers then make small, manageable payments of as little as US $0.14 a day via mobile money or cash.Instead of paying for expensive, polluting, and health-damaging kerosene for lighting or diesel for power, customers unlock savings through accessing solar power and after one to two years of payments, customers own their solar equipment outright.Sun King collects payments digitally through mobile money systems and its 35,000 field agents — over 1 million payments each day. To date, Sun King has extended more than $1.4 billion in PAYG loans to customers.Sun King began by powering homes and businesses with solar systems delivered through PAYG financing. Now, we’re using the same model to make smartphones and clean cooking equipment affordable: helping households connect to the digital economy and transition from wood-based fuels to modern, sustainable alternatives.Sun King employs 3,500 full-time staff in 14 countries, with specialties spanning product design, data science, logistics, customer service, sales, software, operations, and more — all with a passion to serve off-grid families. Sun King is committed to gender diversity in the workplace. Women represent 42% of Sun King’s workforce.
