Job description

Gnani.ai is a frontier Voice AI company, building best-in-class AI models and agentic AI platforms that solve problems at scale. Our proprietary stack — speech recognition, text-to-speech, small language models, and agentic voice platforms across 40+ languages — powers real-time conversations in production for some of the most demanding enterprises in the world.

We own our stack end to end. That is our moat — and product is how we turn that depth into experiences customers and developers love.

The Role

We are hiring a VP of Products to own product strategy, management, design, and developer experience across our platform — Inya, Vachana, and an emerging speech‑analytics product. You will decide what we build, shape how it feels to use, and make it something both enterprises and developers reach for.

This is a senior leadership role reporting to the Chief Product & Engineering Officer, and a peer to the VP of AI and VP of Engineering. You will lead a multi-disciplinary product organisation — product managers, designers, and developer experience — and run a dual motion: enterprise depth and product‑led, self‑serve growth.

Your mandate is to turn a world‑class AI stack into products people choose, adopt, and stay with.

What You’ll Own

• Product strategy & roadmap — the portfolio vision across the product suite: what we build, in what order, and why.
• Product management — the PM function across the platform and configurable‑workflow product lines, with crisp prioritisation and ownership of outcomes, not just output.
• Product design & UX — design leadership and the craft bar; intuitive experiences for complex, technical, real‑time products.
• Developer experience — APIs, SDKs, documentation, and developer relations that make the platform a joy to build on, in close partnership with Engineering.
• Go‑to‑market & commercial — positioning, packaging, and pricing across a dual motion (enterprise and product‑led self‑serve), partnering closely with sales and marketing.
• Discovery & customer insight — research, feedback loops, and data that keep the roadmap anchored to real customer and developer needs.

What We’re Looking For

You are a sitting product leader at an enterprise SaaS or high‑growth product company, and you have built and shipped products that customers and developers love, at scale.

Core — what matters most

• 15–20 years building products, with significant time in senior product leadership (VP / SVP / CPO).
• Has shipped AI or platform products at scale and owned business outcomes end to end.
• Has led across product management and at least one of design or developer experience — and is ready to lead all three.
• Fluent in a dual motion — enterprise depth and product‑led, self‑serve growth — and the packaging and pricing choices each demands.
• Technically deep enough to earn engineers' trust and reason about AI system trade‑offs (latency, cost, accuracy, evals).
• Strong commercial instincts — positioning, packaging, and partnering with sales and marketing to drive adoption and revenue.

Strong advantage — what sets a candidate apart

• Building agentic AI / LLM products in production.
• Voice or conversational AI products.
• Developer platforms and APIs with a real product‑led / self‑serve motion.
• Scaling with global and Indian enterprises.
• Multilingual / Indic products.

Leadership & operating

• Scaling organisations — building and structuring product, design, and developer‑experience teams through growth.
• Talent — hiring and developing product managers, designers, and leads.
• Leading leaders — has directly managed senior product and design leadership, not only individual contributors.
• Influence & alignment — driving decisions across Engineering, AI, Delivery, and GTM, often without direct authority.
• Strategy to delivery — translating company goals into a roadmap and predictable, high‑quality execution.

Why This Role

The platform is real, in production, and growing — and product is how we win from here. You will own a portfolio with genuine technical depth beneath it, a capable team, and a clear mandate, reporting to a CPEO who sponsors the function directly. If you want to shape a category‑defining, India‑first voice‑AI platform — and how the world builds on it — this is the seat.

Skills Required

Primary Skills: 0 to 1 product development, PRD, product portfolio strategy, PRD/roadmap (UX), design 0→1 & scaling products.
