Product Manager I

About the role

We are looking for a Product Manager I who is passionate about solving high-impact problems in a fast-paced start-up environment with a high degree of autonomy. This is inherently a cross-functional leadership role where you will work closely with teams such as software engineering, UX design, category management, marketing, operations, finance, etc. to bring a new product to life.

About the Team

Product Management in Meesho closely resembles our rocketship 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 7% of India’s households shop with us. 😉

We are driven by a ‘user-first’ mindset. We have a strong bias for action. Above all, our team is 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!

What you will do

• Analysis, customer interviews, user research, competition analysis and other qualitative/quantitative techniques.

• Problem Identification & Prioritization: Adopt a structured approach to identify what problems need to be solved and break them down into smaller chunks. Prioritize what problems need to be solved now vs. later.

• Solution Discovery: Facilitate a process to come up with the best technology-led ideas to solve the prioritised problems. Harness the creativity of not just yourself but of other teams such as design, engineering., business, etc Be willing to experiment with multiple solution ideas and test them using MVPs, prototypes, etc.

• Product Delivery: Define detailed product requirements and work collaboratively with a cross-functional team (design, engg. business, analytics, etc.) to bring a product to life. Ensure high product quality through processes such as user acceptance testing, dogfooding, etc.

• Go-to-Market Planning: Create a go-to-market plan working with business/marketing stakeholders to maximize product adoption and success.

• Adoption & Metrics: 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.

• Roadmap Creation: Create a product roadmap for your area that has at least a 3-month forward-looking view of key customer/business problems to be solved.

What you will need

• Overall experience of 3+ yrs with at least 1+ yrs in product management in a tech-led company (consumer internet space is preferred).

• Exceptional problem-solving skills based on first principles of thinking.

• Good understanding of technology, and comfort with product management processes such as A/B experimentation, writing product requirement documents, managing product backlogs, and creating roadmaps.

• Good communication and stakeholder management skills to get work done across different functions and drive product development.
