We know what you’re thinking, “ughhh … how interesting could thermostats be?” Believe us when we say that we are convinced that thermostats are a critical tool in the fight against climate change. Here’s why:
- Heating and cooling accounts for as much as 60% of a home’s energy usage 🤯
- Adding something as simple as a schedule can reduce energy consumption by up to 26% 😏
- BUT … even when a homeowner has a programmable thermostat, 70% of them don’t have a schedule 😖
Try programming one without a manual 🤓 and you’ll start from scratch after a power outage 😤Imagine the savings possible with Mysa’s lineup of smart thermostats for baseboard and infloor heat and now for air conditioners and mini splits! 🦸♀️ As you’re reading this, 10s of thousands of users are depending on our App to control 100’s of thousands of Mysa thermostats. With an average rating of more than 4.5 stars we know that our products and platform are on the right track -- we also know we have lots more work to do.
We are looking for a Product Manager for our Consumer App to join our Product team in St. John’s, NL, or remotely!
The Mysa App is the primary point of contact between our customers, their Mysa hardware products, and the company. Mysa’s App is the tool used to set up and connect our thermostats, set schedules, review energy usage, and operate the customer’s thermostats.
The primary goal of this position is to continuously learn from our customers to develop and maintain a product roadmap and backlog for the Mysa App, ensuring alignment throughout the team and establishing what success looks like.
What You Will Do:
- Meet with customers directly and through customer facing teams to collect and analyze user feedback to shape new product ideas and user requirements.

You will maintain and prioritize product scope, create documentation for development, marketing and customer support teams, and review completed work providing continuous feedback.
- Work closely with the engineering department, marketing/growth, customer support, and other departments to ensure successful delivery of product features into the market. Principally, you will be responsible for creating story based documentation for development teams and supporting its execution.
- Monitor smart home, home HVAC, and mobile device trends to identify and understand potential product and feature opportunities. Additionally, working with the product team, use these insights to steer product feature implementation and prioritization.
- Work throughout the Mysa team in order to align prioritization, maximize resource utilization, and help ensure the development of products our customers will love.

- Ability to quickly absorb technical concepts and communicate them to a non-technical audience.
