The posting

Role: Senior Product Manager, Bengaluru Experience: 10+ years Salary: upto 22 LPA __________________________________________________________________

About the role 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. This is an individual contributor role reporting to the Head of Technology.

What You'll Own

Vision and Strategy

  • 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.

Field Discovery

  • Spend about 20% of your time with field operatives and nano-entrepreneurs in rural and urban locations.
  • Run user research and quick prototypes with low-literacy, multilingual users.

Delivery and Outcomes

  • Write requirements engineers can build from; make scope, sequencing, and build-or-buy calls with them.
  • Plan pilots and rollouts with field teams, designing for multiple languages, voice, and low-end Android devices.
  • Define success metrics, track adoption and outcomes, and work with M&E on impact measurement.
  • Ensure products respect privacy and consent, including India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act.

Stakeholders

  • Bridge program, field, M&E, operations, fundraising, and technology teams, and communicate the roadmap to leadership, funders, and partners.

Skills and Experience

Essential

  • 8–10 years of overall experience, with at least 2–3 years in product management owning a product from discovery to launch.
  • Bachelor's degree; an MBA or Master's is a plus.
  • Experience in the service or social sector, ideally in livelihoods, financial inclusion, MSME, or rural development.
  • Strategic thinking: able to set a product vision and connect it to organizational goals.
  • Enough technical depth to build a technology roadmap and hold your own with engineers on APIs, data, mobile, web, and cloud.
  • Working knowledge of AI and LLM-based products, including evaluation and cost.
  • Data-driven: comfortable with metrics, dashboards, and basic SQL or analytics tools.
  • Speaks and works in at least one of Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, or Marathi, along with English, with empathy for multilingual and voice-first users.
  • Able to travel about 20% of the time.
  • Clear communicator who partners well with field teams, engineers, leadership, and funders.

Nice to Have

  • Built for low-bandwidth, offline-first, or low-end Android contexts in India.
  • Experience with WhatsApp, chatbot, or voice interfaces, or field data tools like KoboToolbox or ODK.
  • Worked with M&E teams, or on DPDP and privacy-by-design.

Mindsets We're Looking For

  • A real pull towards livelihoods and social impact.
  • Field-first, comfortable with ambiguity, and honest about where technology doesn't help.
  • Low ego, high ownership.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
