Job description

Product Manager - AI Platform

Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Full-time

About the role

What we seek:

We’re seeking a Product Manager (Principal to Director levels) who will play a pivotal role in building our AI powered recruitment platform. In this role, you’ll help define the core product vision, goals, MVP experiments, and experience. You will collaborate closely with our users and cross-functional stakeholders like sales, supply acquisition, data/AI and customer success to drive key results. You’ll identify market forces, technical needs, and user needs into action. Furthermore, you will work hands‑on with our design and engineering teams to build products that align with the success of blue collar recruiting businesses.

This is a highly entrepreneurial position and will require you to wear a number of different hats. Our culture is built on core values that inform everything we do. We encourage high ownership, collaboration, feedback, and a growth mindset.

What's your mission:

• Be the owner and lead the product strategy and initiatives for Vahan’s AI platform.
• Work collaborative with cross‑functional teams to achieve business objectives and product adoption.
• Ruthlessly prioritize initiatives and drive execution with strong focus on velocity.
• Hustle with empathy across early adopters and SMB customers every day to drive GTM adoption.
• Lead and be hands‑on in product delivery with limited oversight, utilizing appropriate product frameworks.
• Support a cross‑functional working environment by ensuring all voices are heard, challenging the team throughout the definition and delivery process, and by building and maintaining productive relationships with both the customers and team.
• Ability to be entrepreneurial – leading projects and getting them across the finish line.

What you bring:

• Deep curiosity: You ‘drink from the firehose’ and are constantly learning about and playing with the latest‑and‑greatest AI models and platforms.
• Customer obsession: You practice user empathy and are comfortable embedding yourself with users on a regular basis.
• Analytics: You are very comfortable getting the data you need and transforming it into insights and initiatives without support. SQL, scripting languages, and data-visualization packages are tools you can easily reach for and leverage, so your decisions are data‑informed and clearly articulated.
• Marketplace experience: Understand the undercurrents of building an efficient marketplace as part of a business network.
• Collaboration: Track record of delivering results with cross‑functional teams.
• A strong work ethic (see: What's Work Ethic).
• Hustle: You thrive in a fast‑paced and dynamic environment
• Experience: 6+ years of product management experience.
• Bonus: Prior experience building for Indian B2B/SMBs or Voice/AI solutions.
• Bonus: You’ve worked at a rapidly growing startup.

We know experience comes in many different forms, some visible on your resume, others not. No one candidate will be a 100% perfect match to our description, so if you thrive in a fast‑paced, intellectually‑charged environment and have similar experience to what we are looking for, we encourage you to apply.

Why you’ll LOVE Vahan:

• We’re a small team that enjoys working hard, getting a lot done and having fun.
• Not to mention that you’ll work on a product that is making a profoundly positive impact on people’s lives.
• We also provide an outstanding training ground for aspiring entrepreneurs and India‑first product builders.

We can promise:

• We care about you. We offer competitive health insurance for employees and their dependents.
• Unlimited PTO so you can take the time you need to rejuvenate.
• You’ll love where you work. We have a bright and modern collaborative office space located in the heart of Bangalore’s most happening neighborhood!
