WHAT YOU’LL DO

As Senior Manager, Market Intelligence & Partnerships, you will serve as a senior individual contributor responsible for shaping GridUnity’s integrated view of business market structure, competitive and partner dynamics, regulatory signals, and customer demand and adoption signals — and translating that understanding into both decision-ready insights for executive leadership and an actionable view of strategic partnerships that advance GridUnity’s position in the market. You will help embed company strategy into GridUnity’s product roadmap, create organizational clarity on strategic direction, and help drive external strategic initiatives, including partnerships.

You will own the Market Map as a strategic decision tool, lead synthesis across competitive and partner intelligence, market signals, and regulatory shifts, and identify and execute product partnerships that reflect GridUnity’s competitive posture and ecosystem strategy. You will partner directly with Product, Sales, Customer Experience, and leadership to ensure GridUnity’s product strategy anticipates market shifts, competitive dynamics, and regulatory change — and that the right external relationships are in place to act on them.

This role carries significant ownership, influence, and cross-functional responsibility.
