Talent Profile

Position Title: Product Manager

Location: Chennai

Reporting To: Head of Product

Department: Software Development Centre - Product

Objective:

We are looking for a Technical Product Manager to own the evolution of the CarandBike platform acting as the bridge between business stakeholders, editorial and content teams, SEO specialists, and the engineering team.

Today, requirements travel from business intent directly to engineering. This role exists to change that — to introduce a disciplined product layer that analyses requirements, validates feasibility, challenges assumptions, and ensures we build the right things in the most scalable way.

This role suits someone who enjoys translating messy business intent into clean, buildable product specs; and who can earn the trust of both stakeholders and engineers simultaneously.

This is a technical product role. Success requires the ability to understand platform architecture, content models, APIs, metadata structures, and engineering trade-offs, while translating business goals into scalable product capabilities

Accountability:

Product Discovery & Requirement Analysis

- Partner with Business Stakeholders, Marketing, SEO, editorial, and engineering teams to understand growth goals and identify the right problems to solve.
- Evaluate proposed features and enhancements for feasibility, scalability, data dependencies, and expected user impact — before anything reaches engineering.
- Evaluate data availability, taxonomy, metadata structures, and content completeness required to support proposed product experiences
- Translate business requirements into detailed PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria that engineering can execute without ambiguity.
- Independently validate business requirements against user behaviour data and — not just stakeholder intent.

Platform & Capability Development

- Own the evolution of the content and metadata platform that powers vehicle detail pages, editorial content, comparisons, landing pages, and discovery experiences
- Design scalable product solutions that reduce one-off custom development efforts.




- Drive the introduction of configurable and reusable components, widgets, and content modules so the business team can iterate without engineering effort for every change.

Delivery & Agile Execution

- Own and prioritise the product backlog.
- Lead sprint planning, grooming, daily standups, reviews, and retrospectives.
- Remove blockers, track velocity, and ensure timely, predictable delivery.
- Balance business priorities, technical constraints, and user experience considerations in every sprint.

Cross-functional Collaboration

- Serve as the primary liaison between Business, Marketing, SEO, Editorial, Analytics, and Engineering.
- Communicate decisions, trade-offs, timelines, and outcomes clearly to all stakeholders.
- Partner with leadership to define the CarAndBike product roadmap

Competencies:

- Comfortable engaging in technical discussions around data models, APIs, and system architecture — not expected to code but expected to hold your own.
- Hands-on experience with Agile / Scrum product development methodologies.
- Robust analytical and problem-solving skills — comfortable assessing data availability and system feasibility as part of the requirements process.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.

Preferred

- Exposure to A/B testing and experimentation frameworks — comfort with validating product decisions through data rather than opinion.
- Experience with high-traffic consumer-facing websites or digital platforms.
- Understanding of CMS platforms, metadata-driven experiences, and content-heavy products.
- Familiarity with SEO principles and how product decisions affect organic search performance.
- Exposure to AI-driven search, Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO), or content discovery platforms.

Experience:





- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, Business, or related field; master's degree preferred.
- 3–6 years of Technical Product Management, Product Ownership, or Digital Platform Management
- Experience in consumer internet, content platforms, digital publishing, marketplaces, or media businesses.
- Experience working closely with software engineering teams and participating in technical discussions.
- Automotive industry experience is a plus, not a requirement.
