Mobile App Product Manager – Role Summary

The Mobile App Product Manager owns the roadmap, vision, and execution of the SOLAPS mobile application — the digital interface between Nigerian customers and their SOLAPS solar devices. Reporting to the Nigeria Marketing Manager, this role collaborates closely with the IoT Systems Engineer and the broader product team to define features, conduct user research, write product requirements, and drive the app from its current Bluetooth energy monitoring functionality to a fully-featured platform serving customers, distributors, and the SOLAPS operations team. This is a cross-functional, high-visibility role at the heart of SOLAPS’s product innovation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Product Roadmap: Define and maintain the 12-month SOLAPS app roadmap, prioritising features that drive user retention, distributor efficiency, and customer lifetime value.
• User Research: Conduct ongoing user research with Nigerian customers, distributors, and field teams to deeply understand energy usage behaviours and unmet product needs.
• Requirements & Specs: Write detailed product requirements documents (PRDs), user stories, and acceptance criteria for all app features before development begins.
• IoT Integration: Partner with the IoT Systems Engineer to define the hardware-software integration requirements for new SOLAPS connected devices.
• Data & Analytics: Define and monitor app KPIs; analyse usage data with the Data Analytics Lead to identify drop-off points, retention drivers, and feature adoption patterns.
• Sprint Management: Work with the development team to manage sprint cycles, prioritise backlogs, and ensure features are delivered on time and to specification.
• Go-to-Market: Coordinate app feature launches with the marketing and sales teams to maximise adoption and drive distributor and customer onboarding.

KPIs:

1. App Retention:
   • Improve 30-day active user retention from current baseline by 25% within 6 months.
   • Increase device connection rate (% of app installs that pair a device) to 60%+ within 12 months.
2. Feature Delivery:
   • Deliver at least 2 major product features per quarter on schedule.
   • Achieve 90%+ sprint completion rate quarter-over-quarter.
3. User Research:
   • Conduct user interviews with a minimum of 20 SOLAPS customers per quarter.
   • Deliver a quarterly user research synthesis report to the leadership team.
4. Distributor App Adoption:
   • Achieve 80%+ of active distributors using SOLAPS app features built for their workflow.
   • Reduce distributor onboarding time through app-enabled processes by 40%.
5. App Store Performance:
   • Maintain a minimum App Store/Google Play rating of 4.2/5.
   • Achieve monthly app installs growth of 15%+ quarter-over-quarter.

Expected Results/Outcomes:

• Sticky Product: An app that Nigerian solar customers open daily — not just when there’s a problem — because it delivers real utility and insight about their energy usage.
• Distributor Efficiency: App features that make SOLAPS distributors’ jobs easier: orders, training, support, and performance tracking in one tool.
• IoT Platform Foundation: A robust, scalable app architecture that supports growing device fleet connectivity as SOLAPS launches new hardware products.
• Data-Driven Product: Product decisions driven by real Nigerian user data — not assumptions — resulting in features that genuinely solve local energy challenges.
• Competitive Moat: An app experience so distinctive and useful that it becomes a key differentiator for SOLAPS against hardware-only competitors.

Compensation:

• Base Salary: $30,000 – $48,000 per year (based on experience).
• Performance Bonus: Up to 15% of base salary, tied to retention targets, roadmap delivery, and feature adoption.
• Equity: 0.1% – 0.2% company shares, subject to vesting schedule.
• Other Benefits: Health insurance, data/airtime allowance, remote/hybrid flexibility, tools budget, and professional development opportunities.
