Director - Product

Job description

**About the Team** Product Management in Meesho closely resembles our rapacious growth. Because we obsess over understanding customer behaviour, we’ve been able to carve out an e-commerce niche in Tier 2/3/4 towns in Bharat. Our business growth is testimony to a singular focus on how we think of ‘product’ for our unique customers - ones that have barely shopped online, but are now able to because of Meesho. Fun fact: Nearly 5% of India’s households shop with us. As a Director in our team, you will collaborate with Developers, Product Managers, Designers, Data Scientists, and Engineers. We are driven by a ‘user-first’ mindset. We have a strong bias for action. Above all, our PMs are driven by impact, not features. We drive ‘problem discovery’ & delivery - not only obsess over “what to build”, but execute with rigor to create impact. But there’s more – we love to have fun as much as we love to work hard. From movie buffs, to sportspersons, we have a super cool team. So, if a game of badminton after a day of brainstorming at work sounds like something you would love to do, then join us! **About the Role** We are looking for the right person to lead our talented bunch of Product Managers, Senior Product Managers and Product Analysts. As our Director, you will further act as a cross-functional leader. You will influence senior stakeholders across teams such as Engineering, Design, Category Management, Marketing, Operations, and Finance to bring a new product to life. ### What will you do - Own complex and impact product charters for Meesho - Define a compelling product vision and strategy for your Org, and influence other functional leaders/teams - Adopt a structured approach to identify what problems need to be solved first and break them down into smaller chunks - Facilitate a process to come up with the best technology-led ideas to solve the prioritized problems - Experiment with multiple ideas and test them using MVPs, prototypes, etc. - Ensure high product quality through processes such as user acceptance testing, dogfooding, etc. - Create a go-to-market plan working with business/marketing stakeholders to maximise product success - Define product metrics for your area, and track them continuously - Identify usage patterns and come up with action plans to move metrics in the right direction - Create a product roadmap that has at least a 3-month forward-looking view of solutions to key customer/business problems - Lead, mentor and coach a direct team of Product Managers and Product Analysts ### What you will need - 14+ years of work experience - At least 10+ years experience in product management in a tech-led company (consumer internet experience preferred) - Experience in building and leading high performing teams - Exceptional problem-solving skills based on ‘first principles’ thinking - Good understanding of technology - Familiarity with product management processes such as A/B experimentation - Experience of having managed a direct reporting team of product managers
