Product Lead Internal Platforms

This role sits between vision and code. Core Responsibilities 1. Idea Clarity Work directly with the founder to shape raw ideas into: Problem statements User and system flows Feature scope, priorities, and exclusions Identify assumptions, edge cases, and trade-offs early 2. Documentation Ownership Create and maintain: PRD-lite documents (1–3 pages per feature) Functional requirements Acceptance criteria Ensure documentation is unambiguous and executable by freshers 3. Task Breakdown & Planning Break features into: Developer-ready tasks Clear milestones and dependencies Maintain execution boards (Notion / Jira or equivalent) Define done before development starts 4.
