This role is for one of the Weekday's clients

Min Experience: 3+ years

Location: India, Bengaluru
Job Type: full-time

Looking for a Product Manager who wants to build, not just manage. This is a zero-to-one, high-ownership role where you work directly with the founders and own the product lifecycle end to end — discover, build, test, distribute. You'll be in Figma, in the analytics, in the prototype, in the customer call. If you enjoy structured roadmaps, long planning cycles, and delegation, this role is not for you.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

- Own product problems end-to-end — from identifying the opportunity to shipping, scaling, and getting the solution into users' hands.
- Operate with extreme speed: weekly shipping beats perfect planning.
- Use AI tools aggressively to prototype, validate, and move faster than traditional product teams.
- Work hands-on across design (Figma), analytics, and product workflows — not through handoffs.
- Scope new features and improvements by pulling insights from customer conversations, usage data, and the market landscape.
- Run experiments, iterate fast, and drive measurable impact on core product metrics.
- Collaborate deeply with engineering and the founders: no silos, no throwing specs over the wall.

Qualifications

- Engineering Degree from a Top IIT, NIT, BITS
- 3–5 years building products, preferably at early-stage startups.
- Solid bias for action and ownership — you don't wait for direction, you build.




- Comfortable getting your hands dirty across design, analytics, and execution.
- Working fluency with Figma, Mixpanel or Amplitude, and Linear or Jira.
- Experience with both B2B and B2C products is a strong plus.
- Ability to think from first principles and make progress on ambiguous, undefined problems.
- High agency, high curiosity, and a genuine sense of urgency.

Required Skills

Product discovery, Zero-to-one product building, Figma, Mixpanel / Amplitude, Linear / Jira, AI-assisted prototyping, Experimentation & A/B testing, Product analytics, Customer research, Roadmap prioritization, Cross-functional collaboration, B2B SaaS, First-principles problem solving, Rapid iteration, Go-to-market execution

Benefits & Perks

- Direct, daily access to the founders — you're building with them, not reporting up to them.
- Genuine zero-to-one ownership on a product still defining its category.
- Meaningful ESOPs in a fast-growing startup.
- Freedom to use the best AI tooling available to move faster.
- Small team, no bureaucracy — your decisions ship the same week.

Hiring Process

- Stage 1: Apply and submit the application form
- Stage 2: Attempt AI interview (15 min)
- Stage 3: R0: Telephonic Interview with Recruiting Team
- Stage 4: R1: Interview with Leadership Team
- Stage 5: R2: Interview with Co-founders
