About the Company

We are a growing company headquartered in Gurgaon, building products that solve meaningful customer problems and create measurable business value. Our teams combine customer insight, disciplined execution, and close collaboration across product, engineering, design, sales, and operations. We value clear ownership, thoughtful decision-making, and practical experimentation. Product managers are trusted to understand market needs, define priorities, and connect day-to-day delivery with broader company goals. We are building an environment where people can take initiative, communicate directly, learn quickly, and improve how work gets done. As we scale, we are looking for people who can bring structure to ambiguity while staying close to customers and outcomes. This role offers the opportunity to shape product direction, influence cross-functional teams, and help establish repeatable product practices in a collaborative, hybrid workplace.

About the Role

The Product Manager will own a product area from customer problem discovery through prioritization, delivery, and measurement. You will turn business and user needs into a focused roadmap, align cross-functional partners, and ensure teams understand the outcomes behind their work. Success means improving customer value, product adoption, quality, and commercial performance—not simply shipping features. You will use research, analytics, experimentation, and market context to make decisions and communicate trade-offs. Working closely with engineering and design, you will create clarity in ambiguous situations and maintain momentum through effective planning and execution. You will also help strengthen product operating practices as the organization grows, making learning and accountability part of the delivery system.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the product roadmap and prioritization system, balancing customer needs, strategic goals, technical considerations, and commercial opportunities to direct investment toward the highest-impact outcomes.
  • Translate customer research, market signals, analytics, and business requirements into clear problems, product hypotheses, requirements, and success measures that guide cross-functional execution.
  • Lead discovery and validation through interviews, prototypes, experiments, and data analysis, reducing uncertainty before major investment and improving confidence in product decisions.
  • Partner with engineering and design through planning, delivery, and release, resolving trade-offs quickly while protecting product quality, usability, reliability, and time to value.
  • Define and monitor product metrics, using dashboards, customer feedback, and post-launch reviews to identify gaps, measure impact, and improve the roadmap continuously.
  • Align stakeholders across leadership, sales, marketing, customer success, and operations, creating shared context and decision clarity around priorities, dependencies, risks, and expected business results.
  • Improve product management practices, documentation, and communication rhythms so teams can execute consistently and the organization can scale decision-making without unnecessary process.

Essential Skills & Technologies

  • 4–7 years of product management experience with ownership of digital products, platforms, or customer-facing workflows from discovery through launch and optimization.
  • Strong skills in product strategy, roadmap prioritization, customer discovery, experimentation, analytics, and writing clear product requirements tied to measurable outcomes.
  • Proven ability to collaborate with engineering, design, and commercial teams, communicate trade-offs clearly, and influence decisions without relying solely on formal authority.
  • Working knowledge of product analytics and collaboration tools such as SQL or dashboarding platforms, Jira, Confluence, Figma, or equivalent systems.
  • Strong written and verbal communication, structured problem-solving, and comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-changing environments with multiple stakeholder perspectives.

Additional Plus

  • Experience launching products in a startup or scale-up environment where processes, priorities, and operating rhythms are still being shaped.
  • Exposure to B2B products, marketplaces, SaaS, payments, or other data-rich digital businesses with measurable adoption, retention, or revenue outcomes.
  • Familiarity with agile delivery, growth experimentation, user research methods, and using qualitative and quantitative evidence together.

What You'll Bring

You bring a customer-centered and commercially aware approach to product management. You can move comfortably between strategy and execution: framing the right problem, making trade-offs, writing clearly, and helping a team deliver a meaningful solution. You use evidence rather than opinion, but you also know when a decision must be made with incomplete information. You are organized enough to create clarity without adding bureaucracy, and collaborative enough to bring engineers, designers, and business partners into the decision process early. You take ownership of outcomes, follow through on commitments, and remain open to changing direction when customer feedback or performance data demands it. You communicate complex ideas simply for different audiences, from delivery teams to senior leaders. You are motivated by understanding why something matters, not only by completing a roadmap item. In a hybrid environment, you manage your time well, document decisions, and make collaboration effective across locations. Most importantly, you combine curiosity, judgment, resilience, and a bias toward learning and measurable impact.

Why Join Us

  • Shape meaningful product decisions in a growing Gurgaon-based company where your judgment can directly influence customer value, execution quality, and business performance.
  • Work with capable cross-functional partners in a culture that values ownership, evidence, direct communication, and practical experimentation over unnecessary hierarchy.
  • Help build scalable product practices while gaining broad exposure to customer discovery, strategy, delivery, analytics, and commercial outcomes.
  • Join a hybrid team that supports focused work, purposeful collaboration, continuous learning, and visible contribution to the organization’s next stage of growth.

What We Offer

  • Competitive annual compensation of ₹25–35 LPA, aligned with the role’s scope, experience requirements, and expected ownership.
  • Hybrid working from Gurgaon with a balance of focused flexibility and purposeful in-person collaboration across product, engineering, design, and business teams.
  • Meaningful ownership of product outcomes, direct exposure to decision-makers, and the opportunity to shape both the product and the practices that support its growth.
  • A collaborative environment focused on learning, clear communication, customer impact, and sustainable execution.
