At least that’s what Tesla’s medium-term plans indicate. The new job offer anticipates the company’s plans to create a new business unit as an electricity retailer. The offer posted in his Texas unit is looking for a person who joins Tesla as Product Manager for Retail Electricity.

The offer comes a year after Tesla filed with the Texas Public Utilities Commission for permission to offer electricity to the retail market. That is: also become an electricity seller through a new subsidiary called Tesla Energy Ventures.

This person will support the launch and development of a new electrical retailer in the Texas market. You will be responsible for managing retail electricity products, managing the client portfolio, coordinating customer service, and monitoring financial performance.
