Senior Product Designer (Fixed-Term)

About Rewiring America Rewiring America is the leading electrification nonprofit, founded to make electrification simple, measurable, and inevitable. We put American households at the center of an affordable, resilient, all-electric future. We partner with policymakers, industry leaders, manufacturers, workers, and communities to strengthen the electric grid, lower energy prices, and build homegrown energy solutions for all. We are incubating a program at Rewiring America that we call “Conductor.” We are seeking hyperscaler funding to jump start a new scalable model and market for electrification upgrades. We will offer residential electric upgrades like heat pumps, solar, and batteries at a much lower cost with a far better customer experience, all funded by unlocking the energy value of those upgrades to the grid. We will prove this model and scale it nationally. Our aspiration is to radically improve the affordability and customer experience of home energy upgrades to make it possible to replace millions of fossil fuel appliances all across the country. About the role We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to craft the digital and service experience of subsidized, high quality home upgrades at scale. This is a unique opportunity to shape a 0→1 product and see it launch quickly in market. This requires designing the end-to-end user journey, including the project workflow, collection of project data, and interfaces to support the household, contractor, customer support rep, and program manager through the process. The first launch of the platform will be in service of ~500 heat pump, heat pump water heater, and battery installations in a major metro area by the end of 2026, and there’s a path to expansion beyond that initial market. This project is greenlit by a large utility and will be paid for by a hyperscaler. This fixed-term role will own the design process from concept through to post-launch iteration, operating with a high degree of autonomy and reporting to the VP of Product & Strategic Growth (also the PM). You will partner closely with engineering to translate real customer needs into a simple, delightful, and scalable experience. This fixed term position will be a strong fit for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves quickly, and enjoys building from the ground up in a small, focused team - and wants to make a tangible impact on a product (and the climate) in just six months.

You’ll have the opportunity to do meaningful work that supports electrification and energy transition efforts and shape a 0→1 product that has real impact on households, communities, and the climate.
