About the role

View original

As an Associate Product Manager at Peoplebox , you will be responsible for owning and scaling critical product modules that impact how modern organizations manage performance and talent. We are looking for individuals who are highly analytical, technically-sound, and driven by a strong sense of ownership.

You will work closely with the founding team and engineering to solve complex problems, move from 1 to 10 on new initiatives, and optimize existing workflows to deliver a premium user experience.

Key Responsibilities

Product Discovery : Deeply understand customer pain points through interviews, data analysis, and competitive research.

End-to-End Execution : Using AI tools create prototypes and mockups, iterate on the same after feedback, and work with engineers to ship high-quality features.

Data-Driven Decision Making : Define success metrics for your modules and use data to iterate and improve product performance.

Cross-Functional Collaboration : Act as the bridge between engineering, design, customer success, and sales to ensure product alignment.

Product Roadmap : Contribute to the long-term vision of the product by identifying high-leverage opportunities for growth.

What We’re Looking For

  • Essential Qualifications:

  • Technical Foundation : A B.Tech/B.E. in Computer Science from a premier institute (IITs, NITs, BITS, or equivalent).

  • Analytical Rigor : Ability to break down complex problems into first principles. You should be comfortable with data modeling.

  • Product Thinking : A deep empathy for the user. You don't just build features; you solve problems.

  • Communication : Ability to articulate technical constraints to designers and business needs to engineers.

  • Ideal Profile (One of the following):

  • The Premier Fresher : You are a top-tier CSE graduate with a passion for product. You have built side projects

  • The Dev-turned-PM : You have 1-2 years of experience as a Software Engineer and are now looking to move to a product role

Bonus Points (Good to Have)

  • Ex-Founder / Founding Team Member : You have tried to build something from scratch. You understand the "zero to one" grind and have high ownership.
