- You love making users happy and are committed to creating products they truly want to use.

- 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 have experience building and launching products where GenAI and/or Agentic AI are core building blocks, rather than simply an add-on capability.

- 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 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 - and grow 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.
