Senior Product Manager - Processing (m/w/d)

Arcadia is the AI-powered energy intelligence platform for businesses. We replace fragmented tools and manual workflows with one platform to pay utility bills, buy energy, and advance sustainability - across every location, at enterprise scale.

Trusted by Fortune 2000 companies, Arcadia combines unified data, AI-powered analytics, and expert advisory to help enterprise teams save money, mitigate risk, and cut carbon.

We deliver this through three comprehensive solutions:

• Utility Bill Management: Automating the entire utility bill lifecycle - from data capture and validation to payment processing and auditing.
• Energy Procurement Advisory: Bringing together comprehensive data, AI-powered analytics, market expertise, and a strong partner network to make sophisticated procurement options accessible to all.
• Sustainability Reporting - Verified emissions data with seamless integration into leading sustainability platforms.

Tackling the world's most complex energy challenges requires diverse thinking. We're building teams of people from different backgrounds, industries, and disciplines - united by a belief that energy management should be simple, intelligent, and a genuine driver of business value.

What we're looking for

We're looking for a product leader who is equally fluent in-service operations and technology product management to own Processing. You will define and execute the roadmap that normalizes and validates bill data at scale, and - critically - you will lead the transformation of a labor-intensive, legacy processing ecosystem into an AI- and automation-first operation. Understanding customer needs and market competition informs the roadmap to win in this market.

This means owning service labor optimization as a first-class product problem: understanding where manual bill entry, credential handling, and exception review consume cost and introduce error, and systematically replacing that labor with AI extraction, agentic automation, and modern tooling. The outcome is a lower cost per bill processed, healthier margins, and pricing that lets Arcadia go to market more competitively.

Arcadia is open to fully remote candidates and employees have access to co-working spaces.

What you'll do

Processing Product & Service Roadmap

• Bill Data Normalization & Validation: Own the roadmap for normalizing and validating raw bill data delivered by Plug into clean, structured payables, partnering with the data platform team on upstream data-quality feedback loops.
• Service Labor Optimization: Partner with Operations leadership overseeing tariff analysts, manual bill entry, and credential handling teams to map today's most labor-intensive workflows, quantify their cost and error rates, and prioritize which to automate first.
• AI & Agentic Automation: Define and drive adoption of AI-powered extraction, document processing, and agentic automation across a legacy, service-heavy ecosystem - reducing dependence on manual review while holding or improving accuracy.
• Tolerancing & Exception Handling: Own the roadmap for provider-specific tolerancing rules and exception-handling logic that shrink the volume of bills routed to manual review.
• Margin & Pricing Strategy: Build the business case connecting automation investment to cost-per-bill-processed improvement and translate margin gains into more competitive list pricing and packaging for go-to-market.
• Legacy System Modernization: Plan and sequence the migration of processing workflows off legacy and acquired systems onto modern, automation-first tooling - without disrupting live customer operations.

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Payments Alignment: Ensure Processing reliably generates clean payables that feed Payments- every downstream payment depends on the quality of Processing's output.
• Retention Protection: Identify and close data quality gaps and processing errors before they become churn events.
• Roadmap Execution: Maintain a prioritized, initiative-aligned roadmap with clear epics, due dates, and OKR traceability; represent Processing in cross-functional planning with Commercial, Operations, and R&D.

What will help you succeed

Must-haves

• Service + Technology Product Management: Proven experience owning products where the "system" includes both software and a human service operation - comfortable being accountable for a service delivery model, not just a software roadmap.
• Service Labor Optimization: Track record of redesigning labor-intensive, service-heavy workflows (manual data entry, exception queues, offshore/BPO operations) into automated or AI-assisted processes, with measurable cost-per-unit improvement.
• AI & Agentic Product Experience: Hands-on experience shipping AI-powered document processing, extraction, or agentic automation features into production.
• Legacy Modernization: Experience modernizing or migrating workflows off legacy or acquired systems while maintaining operational continuity for live customers.
• Margin & Pricing Fluency: Comfortable building business cases that connect automation and unit economics to gross margin and go-to-market pricing decisions.
• Domain Familiarity: Experience with document/data extraction, validation logic, or high-volume back-office and transaction processing (utility billing or invoice processing a plus).
• Experience: 6+ years of product management experience, including experience managing products with an embedded service or operations component.
