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 Group Product Manager 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 rigour 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 Group Product Manager, 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.
