Who we are

Simpplr builds AI-powered intranet for modern enterprises. Our platform unifies employee engagement, enablement, and services, leveraging state-of-the-art AI models to deliver a seamless, cohesive, and personalized employee experience for everyone — wherever and however they work.

The role

We have more ideas than we can build. Your job is to figure out which ones are real, and turn the survivors into a product specification sharp enough for engineering to build from.

You won't be generating ideas!! You'll be the person who decides which ones deserve investment — through live customer conversations, rigorous market sizing, and a written case that leadership can act on. Some of what you look at should die. Killing an idea well is as valuable here as championing one !!

What you'll do

• Take a rough concept and design the fastest honest test of whether there's a real need behind it
• Run customer and prospect interviews; separate what people said from what you concluded
• Size the opportunity — TAM/SAM, pricing, unit economics — and be clear about which assumptions the number actually rests on
• Write the recommendation memo: build, don't build, or build something narrower. Own the call.
• Turn a validated concept into a PRD — problem, scope, what's in the first version and what isn't
• Work with engineering leads on feasibility early enough that it changes the spec, not after

What we're looking for

• MBA from IIM A/B/C/L/I/K or equivalent.
• Exceptional structured writing. Your memos are the product of this role.
• High Comfort with numbers: financial modeling in Excel/Sheets, basic SQL, product analytics
• Can hold a real conversation with a senior Global executive based in developed markets (or a frustrated customer without a script !!)
• Already using AI tools in how you work, not just aware of them

What you get

Direct access to CXOs on a daily basis, real ownership of investment recommendations, and a short path between your analysis and what actually gets built.

We value the real you. To ensure a fair and authentic experience for everyone, we ask that you do not use AI tools (such as real-time answer generators, transcription apps, or note-taking bots) during your interview

Our process is designed to hear your unique story, thought process, and lived experience in real-time. Use of unauthorized AI tools may result in disqualification, as we want to ensure every candidate is evaluated on their own individual merits. We’re excited to meet the person behind the resume!

If you need assistive technology or AI tools for accessibility (e.g., live captioning), please notify your recruiter in advance. We are committed to providing an inclusive interview experience.

At Simpplr we believe that when work is good, life is better and that belief guides all we do. Including how we approach our flexible work model. Simpplr operates with a Hub-Hybrid-Remote model. This model is role-based with exceptions and provides employees with the flexibility that many have told us they want.

• Hub - 100% work from Simpplr office. Role requires Simpplifier to be in the office full-time.
• Hybrid - Hybrid work from home and office. Role dictates the ability to work from home, plus benefit from in-person collaboration on a regular basis.
• Remote - 100% remote. Role can be done anywhere within your country of hire, as long as the requirements of the role are met.
