The energy industry is undergoing the largest transformation since industrialisation at an unprecedented rate of change and we are positioning ourselves to be at the heart of that change.

We are building a Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription business with a global addressable market of £2.4 billion per annum, by digitally connecting hundreds of thousands of DERs with energy markets.

We have already attained a market leading position and Kraken is a recognised thought leader and innovator in the industry.

🏠 Where you’ll fit in and role summary
As we enter a stage of rapid commercialisation and growth, we're looking for a Generation Flex Delivery Manager to own the successful onboarding of flexible generation and energy assets onto KrakenFlex across the EU.
This is a customer-facing delivery role with a strong technical bias. You'll manage an asset through the full onboarding journey, from initial discovery and technical analysis, through site design and gateway installation, to commissioning, testing and handover into live service.
You'll sit at the intersection of our customers, Electrical Engineering, Product and Customer Success Engineering teams. You'll need to understand both the connectivity and control architecture of our customers' assets and how those assets connect to and operate through the KrakenFlex SaaS platform .
You won't be expected to design the details of the integration solution or write the software yourself. Instead, you'll need enough technical depth across both areas to understand how they fit together, identify gaps and risks, challenge incomplete information and drive the right conversations to get a site successfully integrated.
Your role is to bring together three perspectives throughout onboarding:
Customer : What is the customer trying to achieve, and what do we need from them?
Product : How will the asset operate within KrakenFlex, and what product capabilities and configuration are required?
Engineering : How does the physical asset need to be integrated, connected and commissioned to make that solution work?
Your job is to make sure those three come together as one successfully delivered customer solution .

🚀 What you'll own

• Own the end-to-end onboarding and delivery of Generation Flex assets BESS (grid-scale and C&I) and RES (Wind and Solar), from initial onboarding through analysis, site design, installation, configuration, commissioning, testing and handover into live service.

• Build a strong understanding of the Generation Flex product and SaaS platform , including how assets are represented, configured, monitored and controlled within KrakenFlex.

• Understand how the physical site and its electrical/control systems connect into the KrakenFlex software architecture, and bring those two worlds together throughout onboarding.

• Work closely with Product and Software Engineering teams to understand the relevant GenFlex capabilities, product modules, configuration requirements and technical constraints for each customer and asset.

• Translate between customer requirements, electrical engineering requirements and SaaS/product requirements , making sure each group understands what is needed from the others.

• Understand the end-to-end data and control path from the physical asset through site controls, meters, PPCs, gateways and communications infrastructure into Kraken Flex, and from Kraken Flex back to the asset where control is required.

• Ensure that the customer's intended use of the GenFlex product is reflected in the technical onboarding solution, including the required telemetry, controls, configuration, integrations and product modules.

• Be able to explain to customers how their site will interact with KrakenFlex, both from a physical integration perspective and from a software/product perspective.

• Work with Product teams to identify where customer or asset requirements do not fit current product capabilities, and ensure gaps, constraints or product dependencies are surfaced early.

• Feed recurring onboarding challenges, customer requirements and technical integration pain points back into Product and Engineering teams to help improve and scale the GenFlex proposition.

• Be the primary delivery point of contact for customers during site onboarding, setting clear expectations around what we need from them, what Kraken is delivering and what needs to happen next.

• Work closely with our Electrical Engineering and Customer Success Engineering teams to ensure the technical information required to integrate a site is complete, accurate and available at the right stage of delivery.

• Review and interpret customer technical documentation including:

• Electrical Single Line Diagrams (SLDs)

• Network and communications diagrams

• Site and asset specifications

• PPC and controller documentation

• Modbus register maps

• IP addressing and network information

• Functional Design Specifications

• Metering and telemetry information

• Hardware and connectivity requirements…
