Job Description: 

We are seeking a talented EEI Product Manager to join our growing team of domain experts, designers, and developers supporting government and commercial clients in the climate, energy, and clean transportation industries. 

Join our Energy, Environmental, and Infrastructure Product and Engineering (EEI P&E) Team as we work to enhance and modernize a diverse portfolio of products within the EEI Group. The EEI P&E Team works across all divisions of EEI, including the Climate, Energy, & Transportation (CET), Environment and Planning (E&P), Disaster Management (DM) Divisions, and more. Some of EEI’s primary goals are to help clients achieve smart, resilient, and low-carbon growth by leveraging our expertise in energy, climate adaptation and resilience, greenhouse gas mitigation and sustainability, energy efficiency, and transportation. Our data-driven approach uncovers smarter ways to deliver a low-carbon and resilient future, providing a full range of services to advance smart, sustainable growth. This position would be working on projects across the entire EEI group, with focuses in CET and E&P. 

We are excited to expand our team with the addition of a dedicated EEI Product Manager.

• Inform the requirements process with initial user stories. 
• Define goals, must-haves, and the definition of done for each PI. 
• Support the team to meet sprint goals by reviewing the backlog and updating requirements. 
• Maintain transparency with stakeholders on features, blockers, and timelines. 
• Explain product vision, strategy, and progress to various audiences. 
• Foster repeatable frameworks and cross-team collaboration. 
• Collaborate on Agile ceremonies and norms. 
• Make informed decisions by consulting with others and socializing tradeoffs and reasoning.

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate research findings into actionable insights.
