Job Title: Product Manager

Report to: Chief Technology Officer

About the Convergence Foundation:

The Convergence Foundation (TCF) is an Indian philanthropic foundation established by Ashish and Manisha Dhawan in April 2021. TCF builds on their legacy of impactful philanthropy, including the founding of transformative institutions like Ashoka University and the Central Square Foundation (CSF).

Our mission is clear: to transform the lives of all Indians through rapid, sustained economic growth and inclusive development.

To achieve this, we focus on 3 pillars: (1) direct engines of economic growth that enable job creation; (2) human capital development through education and employability; and (3) development enablers that strengthen the philanthropic ecosystem and improve state capacity. In each area, TCF works on:

  1. Building pioneering institutions to address India's most complex socio-economic challenges
  2. Shaping the larger ecosystem and sharing knowledge, insights and learning with other philanthropists, governments and key stakeholders

We believe that the government is the key actor for system change, and philanthropy's role is to strategically support the government. The proof is in the results: CSF's work helped build momentum on foundational learning and numeracy (FLN) and resulted in the NIPUN Bharat Mission, which by 2025 helped achieve the highest-ever Grade 3 level FLN outcomes in the Annual Status of Education Report across states. On the economic growth side Foundation for Economic Development and Prosperiti have served as knowledge partners to the government and helped accelerate the "Reform Express, advancing the Prime Ministers mission of Viksit Bharat. These are only some of the system- and population-scale outcomes our portfolio of 20+ organisations has enabled.

Position Summary:

As TCF and our portfolio scales, technology and AI represent a significant (and untapped) opportunity to amplify our impact. We are early in this journey, but committed. Today, working with government systems is central to our theory of change, and is one of the largest force-multipliers for our work; we believe technology holds similar potential.

Across our portfolio, this is already taking shape. CSF has supported multiple EdTech initiatives, spanning from on-ground deployment to evidence generation. Centre for Effective Governance of Indian States (CEGIS) is using AI and automated phone surveys to improve how governments gather citizen feedback and deliver services. Air Pollution Action Group (APAG) is analysing large-scale datasets to improve their flagship dispersible sources program to address air pollution. These are just a few of the AI use cases already deployed or piloted across our portfolio. We see immense potential to go further: from improving destination management at top tourist sites and building tools that empower MSMEs at scale, to designing platforms that improve ease of doing business across industries and strengthening market linkages for government flagship skilling programmes.

To put this vision into action, we are setting up TCF's Technology and AI function and actively recruiting for a Chief Technology Officer to lead it. The Product Manager will report to the Chief Technology Officer, working closely with them to execute against the vision for this function. The function will have four key mandates: (i) define and implement TCFs technology and AI strategy and roadmap; (i) envisioning breakthrough AI ideas that go beyond efficiency gains to enable fundamentally new approaches across program areas; (ii) co-designing technology strategy and identifying priority use cases for TCF and portfolio organisations; (iii) helping build and deploy solutions on-ground through co-development with leading technology partners and program leaders; and finally, (iv) making TCF itself an AI-native organisation.

This is a high-visibility role at the frontier of technology and social impact in India. As an early member of a newly formed function, you will have real ownership over how products are scoped, built, and taken to scale: working on problems that span education, livelihoods, skilling, governance, and more. The work is nation-building in the truest sense, offering the right combination of meaningful problems, institutional access, and genuine scale.

The function will operate lean by design, with a core in-house team of 3 to 4 members working in close partnership with portfolio organisations and leading technology partners. If you are a PM who wants to do their lifes work with us, this is the role for you.
