Job location: Remote in India About the role: The Senior Product Manager will work as part of the Digitization and Automation team to help Sun King design, develop, and implement intelligent, tech-enabled solutions to help solve a large variety of our business problems. We are looking for candidates with an affinity for technology and automation, curiosity towards advancement in products, and strong communication skills for our in-house software development team. What you will be expected to do: 1. Strategy & Vision: • Own the Product: Develop, prioritize, and implement product roadmaps (typically 6-12 months) grounded in user insights, field learnings, stakeholder feedback, and business ROI. • Prioritize initiatives that deliver measurable impact—either revenue growth or cost reduction. • Influence senior leadership to evaluate, prioritize, and greenlight high-impact product investments. • Make explicit prioritization trade-offs based on business impact, engineering capacity, and operational readiness. 2. Mentorship: • Mentor and nurture different product team members by setting priorities, removing their blockers, and implementing best PM practices/frameworks. • Set high standards for documentation, prioritization rigor, and execution discipline. 3. Execution and Delivery: • Work on the full product lifecycle: Discovery, design, development, GTM, and sustained go‑lives. • Drive requirements definition: PRDs, workflow diagrams, edge cases, functional and non-functional requirements. • Ensure on‑time, high‑quality releases within defined turnaround times (TATs). • Own release planning, rollout sequencing, and adoption tracking across countries and teams. • Ensure every launch has clear success metrics, operational readiness, and rollback plans. 4. Work Closely with Engineering & Data: • Partner daily with engineering teams to shape system design, APIs, and data models. • Head sprint planning, backlog grooming, and scope control. • Define a testing strategy focused on business-critical flows, failure modes, and realistic user behavior. • Use SQL and dashboards to validate product usage, data quality, and business impact post-launch. 5. Product Discovery and Opportunity Identification: • Work on discovery efforts to identify issues in existing processes, user pain points, and competitive threats. Identify root causes behind process breakdowns, revenue leakage, fraud risk, or poor customer experience. • Translate observations into concrete problem statements, not abstract “user needs." • Push back on solutions that look good on paper but won’t work at scale in the field. 6. Stakeholder Management: • Collaborate and act as the single-threaded owner across Engineering, Operations, Sales, Risk, Programs, Call center, Data etc. • Work on aligning scope, timelines, rollout plans, and success metrics. • Escalate decisively when trade-offs are required between speed, quality, and scope. 7. Performance Monitoring: • Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure product success and impact. • Use data to iterate on product performance and drive growth. 8. Travel: • Travel about 10%-20% of the time to places including but not limited to India, Kenya, Myanmar, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, and Zambia and to any other Sun King markets. You might be a strong candidate if you have/are: • A bachelor’s degree in Engineering (mandatory). • 7+ years of experience in product management working on complex workflows. • Product management experience in Android applications. • Good background in workflow systems, automation, or operations-heavy products. • High level of detail orientation, ability to identify process gaps. • Ability to perform basic data analysis with SQL. • Passionate about software quality, DevOps, documentation, and programming. • Experience in directly mentoring product management teams. • Good communication and interpersonal skills. What Sun King offers: • Professional growth in a dynamic, rapidly expanding, high-social-impact industry • An open-minded, collaborative culture made up of enthusiastic colleagues who are driven by the challenge of innovation towards profound impact on people and the planet. • A truly multicultural experience: You will have the chance to work with and learn from people from different geographies, nationalities, and backgrounds. • Structured, tailored learning and development programs that help you become a better leader, manager, and professional through the Sun King Center for Leadership.
