Job Description

Lead Product Manager

Role:

We're hiring a Lead PM to own new bets — new businesses, new revenue lines, new product categories. This is a 0-to-1 charter reporting directly to the Head of Product. You'll take ideas from conception to launch: size the opportunity, run discovery, shape the wedge, ship V1, and figure out what becomes a business. You'll operate with the autonomy of a founder and the distribution of 60M users.

What you'll do:

  • Own a portfolio of 0-to-1 bets across new businesses, growth, and monetisation
  • Size markets, run customer discovery, and form sharp views on where Apna should play next
  • Ship V1s fast, AI-native by default, and iterate based on real signal
  • Partner directly with the CEO, Head of Product, and functional heads to align strategy and execution
  • Build in ambiguity — define the problem, the metric, and the motion
  • Kill bets that aren't working; double down on the ones that are

Requirements

  • 5+ years in product management, ideally in consumer internet startups, with exposure to high scale, with proven 0-to-1 work
  • Sharp customer sense, product sense, and business acumen — you know what to build, why, and for whom
  • High agency. You find the wedge and go; you don't wait for direction
  • AI-native, not AI-curious. You build with AI in the loop for discovery, design, and shipping
  • Founder mentality. You own outcomes, not activities, and are ruthless on prioritization
  • Thrives in ambiguity. Turns messy problem spaces into testable hypotheses
