IoT Operations & Product Delivery Manager – Smart Energy Systems
Auckland,
New Zealand
Ecologic designs and delivers smart energy management systems (EMS) for schools, businesses, and advanced energy projects. Our systems combine smart metering, IoT devices, dashboards, and control logic to reduce peak demand, improve visibility, and support electrification.
As our deployment footprint grows, we’re looking for someone to own the operational and product delivery layer of our IoT platform — from device provisioning through to customer dashboards and ongoing performance.

- alerts and insights
- Work with stakeholders to ensure dashboards:
- are accurate
- are understandable to non-technical users
- reflect how sites actually operate
- Use data to:
- identify issues
- surface optimisation opportunities
- support customer conversations
Product & Process Ownership
- Maintain and evolve parts of the product roadmap related to:
- IoT operations
- deployments
- dashboards
- internal tools
- Translate operational learnings into:
- improved processes
- clearer documentation
- more repeatable deployments
- Support testing, validation, and release readiness for new features.
Cross-Team Coordination
- Act as a bridge between:
- electricians and installers
- software and platform teams
- customers and stakeholders

What We’re Looking For
Ideal Background
- Experience delivering end-to-end IoT solutions, including:
- devices and gateways
- cloud platforms
- field deployments
- customer support
- Strong operational mindset — comfortable owning live systems.
- Ability to translate technical detail into clear outcomes for customers.
Highly Relevant Skills
- IoT platforms (e.g. MQTT, device provisioning, gateways)
- Cloud systems and monitoring
- Data analysis and operational reporting
- Dashboarding and user-facing views
- Documentation and repeatable processes
Bonus Strengths
- Electrical background or strong understanding of on-site constraints
- Experience working directly with electricians or field teams

Why This Role Matters at Ecologic
This role:
- becomes the owner of IoT customer success
- ensures deployments scale without chaos
- frees up senior technical staff from day-to-day operational firefighting
