Job description

About The Team

Product Management in Meesho closely resembles our rapacious growth. Because we obsess over understanding customer behaviour, we’ve been able to carve out an e-commerce niche in Tier 2/3/4 towns in Bharat. Our business growth is testimony to a singular focus on how we think of ‘product’ for our unique customers – ones that have barely shopped online, but are now able to because of Meesho.

Fun fact: Nearly 5% of India’s households shop with us.

As a Director in our team, you will collaborate with Developers, Product Managers, Designers, Data Scientists, and Engineers. We are driven by a ‘user-first’ mindset. We have a strong bias for action. Above all, our PMs are driven by impact, not features. We drive ‘problem discovery’ & delivery – not only obsess over "what to build", but execute with rigor to create impact. But there’s more – we love to have fun as much as we love to work hard. From movie buffs, to sportspersons, we have a super cool team. So, if a game of badminton after a day of brainstorming at work sounds like something you would love to do, then join us!

About The Role

We are looking for the right person to lead our talented bunch of Product Managers, Senior Product Managers and Product Analysts. As our Director, you will further act as a cross-functional leader. You will influence senior stakeholders across teams such as Engineering, Design, Category Management, Marketing, Operations, and Finance to bring a new product to life.

What Will You Do

• Own complex and impact product charters for Meesho
• Define a compelling product vision and strategy for your Org, and influence other functional leaders/teams
• Adopt a structured approach to identify what problems need to be solved first and break them down into smaller chunks
• Facilitate a process to come up with the best technology-led ideas to solve the prioritized problems
• Experiment with multiple ideas and test them using MVPs, prototypes, etc.
• Ensure high product quality through processes such as user acceptance testing, dogfooding, etc.
• Create a go-to-market plan working with business/marketing stakeholders to maximise product success
• Define product metrics for your area, and track them continuously
• Identify usage patterns and come up with action plans to move metrics in the right direction
• Create a product roadmap that has at least a 3-month forward-looking view of solutions to key customer/business problems
• Lead, mentor and coach a direct team of Product Managers and Product Analysts

What You Will Need

• 14+ years of work experience
• At least 10+ years experience in product management in a tech-led company (consumer internet experience preferred)
• Experience in building and leading high performing teams
• Exceptional problem-solving skills based on ‘first principles’ thinking
• Good understanding of technology
• Familiarity with product management processes such as A/B experimentation
• Experience of having managed a direct reporting team of product managers
