Product Manager
Define and deliver the ASCENRA DPDP Consent Manager — what the thing actually is at the level of screens, records, APIs and release order, and whether it ships. Product direction is the founder's; the definition and the delivery are yours.

Why this role
Nobody has built the product that makes consent ordinary. You would be the first product person on it.
01
Own the roadmap and release plan for the DPDP Consent Manager
02
Two-sided product: individuals and Data Fiduciaries
03
Statutory market opening: registration November 2026, obligations May 2027
04
Unusual ownership this early, argued in writing, without the scaffolding The work
What you'll actually do
01
What you'll own
- The individual's product: one place for a person in India to see every consent they have given, understand what it actually permits, and withdraw it without a fight — comprehension is the product, and it has to hold in up to 22 Eighth Schedule languages
- The organisation's product: notice and consent collection a Data Fiduciary can deploy without redesigning its own signup, plus rights requests and grievance handling that close inside a statutory clock
- The consent artefact and the integration contract: the machine-readable record and the API surface Data Fiduciaries build against — you define what it has to carry and why
- Registration readiness as product scope: data-blind architecture, tamper-evident records held seven years, a published grievance mechanism, and a published revenue model — turned into a release plan rather than a paragraph in a compliance file
- The beta programme: three organisations live by the end of November and ten by the end of December — onboarding, integration support, and an honest record of what they used and what they ignored
02
The hard part
- You cannot look at the data — personal data routed through the platform must not be readable by us; you will make product decisions about flows you can never inspect
- Consent has to be understood, not just recorded — making a notice comprehensible across 22 languages, at a reading level that does not assume a law degree, is the design problem of the whole product
- Withdrawal has to actually arrive — reliably, to every connected organisation, provable seven years later; you decide what we promise, in how long, and what a user sees when it fails
- Nobody has done this — zero entities are registered; there is no incumbent to benchmark against and no category-defining competitor whose roadmap you can read
- The dates are not ours to move — November 2026 for registration, May 2027 for obligations; scope is the only variable, and you will be cutting things you like
03
Minimum qualification
- 4 years of experience in product management, or 2 years with an advanced degree — or equivalent practical experience
- 2 years owning a product area end to end, accountable for what shipped rather than for keeping a backlog tidy
- 2 years taking a product from a written problem to launch, including at least one release another team had to integrate against
- Experience shipping against a written external requirement — a regulation, a standard, a scheme specification, an audited contract or a security review — where the text constrained what you were allowed to build
- The ability to write a specification an engineer can build from without a meeting to explain it
- Comfort with APIs, data models and system diagrams: enough to read a contract and say where it will hurt
- Direct contact with the people who use the product and the people who buy it, rather than through a research function
04
Preferred
- Consent, identity or privacy tooling — CIAM, customer data platforms, consent management platforms, DSR/DSAR automation, or preference management
- India's public digital infrastructure from the inside: Account Aggregator and the DEPA consent artefact, DigiLocker, UPI, ONDC or a similar scheme where an interoperability spec set the constraints
- A two-sided or B2C2B product where the person using it and the organisation paying for it wanted different things
- Products shipped in Indian languages beyond English, with comprehension measured rather than assumed
- Developer-facing products: SDKs, integration guides, and responsibility for whether anyone actually integrated
- Having read the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the DPDP Rules, 2025 yourself
- Work that has been examined by an auditor, a regulator or an external assessor, and survived it
05
How we work
- Hybrid working style with anchor at our Grandthum office in Greater Noida, Tech Zone IV
- Defined core collaboration hours — outside that, flex your day around its natural shape
- Architecture decisions get written down and argued in the open. Small, reviewable changes. Depth is valued over volume
- Company-issued devices and approved tooling for anything touching customer or compliance data.
Given what we build, we hold ourselves to the standard we sell
06
The practical details
- Location: Grandthum, Tech Zone IV, Greater Noida West, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh
- Employment type: full-time, permanent
- Reports to: Head of Engineering
- Education:
B.E./B.Tech or M.Tech in CS/IT, or equivalent demonstrated experience — we mean the second part
- Offers are subject to standard background verification, which we will explain before we ask for anything
07 How we'll interview you
- A 30-minute conversation with our Head of Engineering
- A code and architecture discussion on something you have built and can talk about honestly
- A conversation with the founder about the company, the regulation and where this goes
- Four stages.
We aim to complete them inside two weeks and to give you a decision either way
08 Being straight with you about the stage
- We will be eighteen people, pre-revenue, with a product that has to be right before a regulator looks at it
- Real ownership and a real, dated market opening — the decisions are actually yours
- The downside: it is early, the hours around MVP will be uneven, and some of what you build you will rebuild
- We use your application only to assess you for this role, we keep it no longer than we need it, and we will tell you what we hold if you ask — every hiring decision here is made by a person
- ASCENRA is an equal chance employer — if you need an adjustment to the interview process, tell us when you apply and we will arrange it, with no bearing on the outcome
Ideal candidate You'll thrive here if this sounds like you
You argue with direction rather than take dictation from it — and you do it in writing
You write specifications an engineer can build from without a meeting
You can make product calls about flows you can never inspect, without the usual instrument panel
You want direct contact with users and buyers, not a research function in between
You are comfortable early: eighteen people, pre-revenue, no senior PM above you, no designer, no cover
