Experience: 10+ years
Our livelihoods program works with nano-entrepreneurs—small shop owners, street vendors, home-based producers, and a growing number of rural nano-entrepreneurs, many of them women. They run on thin margins, with patchy networks and limited digital literacy, and rarely operate in English.
Field operatives, Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E;), and program and operations teams all need technology, and today those needs reach the tech team as separate requests. We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to set the product vision and turn these needs into one unified roadmap, grounded in time spent in the field. Set a 2–3 year product vision for how technology and AI can help our livelihoods program reach more nano-entrepreneurs and make field operatives more effective.
Own the product roadmap, combining field, M&E;, and operational requirements.
Prioritize with evidence (impact on nano-entrepreneurs, effort, cost, risk) and be clear about what we won't build.
Identify where AI meaningfully helps, and where it doesn't.
