Summary

This role entails overseeing the management and operation of profit and loss (P&L) of specific products, programs, and services. Responsibilities include assisting in the development of programs using a portfolio approach to enhance customer satisfaction and profitability while minimizing overall costs.

The Products & Services Manager owns day-to-day and long-term management and operation of EnergyWise Home, Duke Energy Florida's residential demand response (DR) program, and its multi-year switch modernization effort. DR programs help keep the electric grid reliable and affordable by temporarily reducing customer energy use during periods of peak demand or system emergencies, lowering the need to build or run costly peaking generation. Through EnergyWise Home, participating customers allow Duke Energy to briefly cycle select home equipment, such as central air conditioning, electric heating, water heaters, and pool pumps, using a load control switch installed at the home, in exchange for monthly bill credits. The modernization effort replaces legacy one-way load control switches with two-way cellular technology to improve program reliability and load reduction during peak and emergency conditions. This role develops and manages integrated program plans, including financial planning (P&L, capital and O&M), annual replacement scope, timelines, milestones, and resource needs. The position coordinates contractors, technology vendors, internal operations, IT, finance, and regulatory partners so that customer outreach, scheduling, field installation, and enrollment work together. It is also responsible for identifying and managing program dependencies, risks, and critical path activities to keep the program on schedule, on budget, and in compliance.
