The Role

You will own a group of product areas end to end and lead the Product Managers who run them: from the problem a client brings us, to the roadmap and requirements engineering builds from, to how 900+ enterprise clients adopt what ships. One change in your group can ripple across payroll, attendance, permissions, reports, integrations and mobile, across India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and the US.

What will you do on a day-to-day basis?

- Get to the real problem. Start from wherever the signal comes from, whether market research, usage data, competitor benchmarking or a client request, and treat it as a hypothesis to test. Validate it with end users to decide whether existing configuration solves the need or something new must be built.
- Decide what earns a place in the product. Weigh value against effort and the long-term cost of maintaining a feature across hundreds of clients. Bring a business case tied to revenue, retention or adoption.

- Own the roadmap.



Translate product strategy into a roadmap for your group, scoped and prioritised by business and customer impact.
- Think in platforms. Learn your modules end to end, including their implications across multiple geographies. Map each change's impact on connected modules, and turn repeated client asks into configurable capabilities rather than one-client fixes.

- Build with AI. Use AI tools every day to research, write requirements, prototype and automate recurring work.
- Lead your team. Coach and develop the Product Managers in your group, and hold their work to this same bar.

- Own the outcome. Work alongside engineering through build and QA, make informed technical trade-offs with Customer Success, track adoption and usage after launch, and partner with Sales, Marketing and Customer Success as the subject matter expert.

We are looking for someone with

- Good communication skills with the ability to influence and work with a cross-functional team.
- High levels of ownership and drive, and a high appetite for learning.
- A flair for logical reasoning and the habit of going deep: you can explain why a product works the way it does and where it breaks.
- Comfort with the technical side of product building, including discussing APIs, data flows and system dependencies with engineers.
- Hands-on experience using AI tools to research, write or prototype.
- A proven track record of managing a successful product throughout its lifecycle.
- Strong team coordination and people management skills.

Valuable to have

- Exposure to B2B SaaS products.
- HR domain expertise.
- A strong design and UX orientation.

What's in it for you?

- High ownership role, with individual modules carved out instead of micro feature optimizations.
- A learning opportunity at the intersection of B2B and B2C: building a B2B-grade product that needs to provide a B2C-like experience.
- Direct customer touchpoints and high velocity in shipping products and features.
- Disproportionate rewards for top performance and accelerated advancement in a hyper-growth environment.
