• You have a user-centric mindset: a genuine passion for understanding user needs and designing intuitive, easy-to-use solutions for complex technical problems.
• You have 10+ years of product management experience, with a strong track record of building and launching successful SaaS products, ideally in areas involving big data, data platforms, analytics, or other technically complex products.
• You have strong experience across SaaS and AI/ML products.
• Experience in industrial OT/IT or industrial software is a strong bonus but is not mandatory.

• You understand how agentic technologies can transform workflows, create new product experiences, and deliver meaningful customer value.
• You have a track record of successful product launches involving AI/ML and preferably GenAI or agentic AI technologies.
• You have experience managing feature delivery, product strategy, prioritisation, and trade-offs for a complex product area.
• You excel at communicating with different types of stakeholders, ranging from customer senior executives to technical engineers and data scientists.
• You articulate clear and well-structured product requirement documentation that sets the direction for engineering and design.
• You're comfortable learning about new developments within the AI space and actively use AI tools to improve your own productivity and ways of working.
• You have experience building products within big data or data-intensive environments, with an understanding of how large-scale data is collected, processed, stored, analysed, and utilised.
• You're accustomed to working in an English-speaking environment.
• You have experience mentoring junior colleagues and leading complex product development projects across global teams.
• You demonstrate strong leadership potential. While initially an individual contributor, you should have the ambition and capability to grow into a leadership role over time, potentially building and leading a team of product managers in India.
• Experience in industrial OT/IT, energy, manufacturing, oil and gas, or other asset-intensive industries is a bonus.
