• Contribute to product strategy and roadmap discussions.

What We're Looking For

• Education: Bachelor's degree from a Tier 1 institution, preferably in Engineering or a technical discipline.
• Experience: 1-3 years in Product Management, Engineering, Analytics, or related roles.
• High agency: Someone who takes initiative, works independently, and finds ways to get things done.

• Familiarity with CRM tools, SEO, or digital marketing.
• Previous startup or 0-1 product experience.

We are particularly interested in people who have built something on their own, whether it's a side project, a small product, or an AI-powered tool. We care about what you've done, not just the roles you've held.
