Programme Manager â Product & Programme Development

Location: Remote (India)

Role Summary It is responsible for converting programme components that currently exist as ideas, one-off interventions, or informal practice into structured, repeatable, scalable products â with defined scope, playbooks, and delivery formats that any Venture Partner or Sprint Operator across hubs can pick up and run consistently.

Key Responsibilities
- Create playbooks for each sprint type so delivery quality doesn't depend on which Sprint Operator runs it
- Design and productize the SMB Community and peer network model (Peer Circles, Hub Chapters) into a defined, repeatable format
- Design the Alumni Engagement pathway â structure for repeat sprints and a paid conversion model for ventures exiting the core programme
- Build out Sector Focus Sprints as standalone products, examples:

â Defence Manufacturing â DPP compliance, OEM connect

â Food & Agro â export certification, retail entry

â EV & Clean Tech â OEM partnerships, subsidy navigation




- Take other ad hoc or one-off interventions run across hubs and convert them into standardized, reusable products (transparent scope, inputs, outputs, effort)
- Bring an analytical lens to product design â sizing demand, structuring frameworks, validating assumptions before building
- Build and maintain a network of external service providers relevant to sector sprints (compliance consultants, certification bodies, OEM connectors, etc.)
- Apply consulting-style structured problem solving to genuinely ambiguous, undefined areas of the programme

Requirements
- Background in management consulting, or a Chartered Accountant with strong exposure to business problem-solving
- Strong grounding in management consulting problem-solving frameworks (structuring, hypothesis-driven analysis, MECE-style breakdowns) â hands-on sector experience is not required, ability to apply frameworks to a new sector is what matters
- Demonstrated experience building frameworks
