Role Overview

We are seeking Product Managers to tackle critical and impactful challenges at Apna. Each manager will take end-to-end ownership of a project charter over a quarter or two, delivering results with full autonomy, utilizing AI tools from the outset, and collaborating directly with senior leadership across product and functional teams. This position is intended for experienced PMs who have successfully launched multiple products and seek to extend their impact further.

Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of designated projects — identify problems, define success criteria, develop, launch, monitor, and refine solutions.
• Engage with diverse business segments by moving between high-impact problems instead of remaining confined to a single area.
• Incorporate artificial intelligence in all stages from research and design to product implementation.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, design, analytics teams and stakeholders from sales, operations, and growth functions.
• Utilize customer insights and data analytics to inform decision-making, determining when to advance or halt initiatives.
• Exercise genuine accountability for projects that significantly influence the business rather than executing plans dictated by others.

Candidate Profile

• Possess over three years' experience as a Product Manager in a large-scale consumer internet company.
• Demonstrate a successful track record of launching products, able to articulate the rationale, execution, and outcomes.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, breaking complex issues into fundamental components.
• Strong initiative and proactive approach, independently identifying priorities and tasks.
• Deep familiarity and daily use of AI technologies integrated into workflows and delivered products.
• Robust understanding of customer needs, product dynamics, and business implications.
• Self-motivated, adaptable to ambiguity, and comfortable working across varying problem domains.
• Effective communicator and collaborator, fostering clear and productive stakeholder interactions.
