Position:
Founding Product Manager (IIT/NIT/BITS)
Company:
Weekday's Client
Location:
India, Bengaluru
Employment type:
Full-time
Short Summary:
Looking for a Product Manager who wants to build, not just manage. This is a zero-to-one, high-ownership role where you work directly with the founders and own the product lifecycle end to end.
Responsibilities:
- Own product problems end-to-end — from identifying the opportunity to shipping, scaling, and getting the solution into users' hands.
- Operate with extreme speed: weekly shipping beats perfect planning.
- Use AI tools aggressively to prototype, validate, and move faster than traditional product teams.
- Work hands-on across design (Figma), analytics, and product workflows — not through handoffs.
- Scope new features and improvements by pulling insights from customer conversations, usage data, and the market landscape.
- Run experiments, iterate fast, and drive measurable impact on core product metrics.
- Collaborate deeply with engineering and the founders: no silos, no throwing specs over the wall.
Requirement:
- Engineering Degree from a Top IIT, NIT, BITS
- 3–5 years building products, preferably at early-stage startups.
- Strong bias for action and ownership — you don't wait for direction, you build.
- Comfortable getting your hands dirty across design, analytics, and execution.
- Working fluency with Figma, Mixpanel or Amplitude, and Linear or Jira.
- Experience with both B2B and B2C products is a strong plus.
- Ability to think from first principles and make progress on ambiguous, undefined problems.
- High agency, high curiosity, and a genuine sense of urgency.
Benefits:
- Direct, daily access to the founders — you're building with them, not reporting up to them.
- Genuine zero-to-one ownership on a product still defining its category.
- Meaningful ESOPs in a fast-growing startup.
- Freedom to use the best AI tooling available to move faster.
- Small team, no bureaucracy — your decisions ship the same week.
