Role Overview:

The Tech Business unit of HT Media is looking for a strategic Product Head to lead our product organization and drive the end-to-end execution of high-impact platform initiatives. In this role, you will define product vision, scale user-centric systems, and mentor a team of Product Managers.

We are seeking a growth-minded product leader who has successfully navigated both the 0-to-1 journey (building and launching products from scratch in ambiguous environments) and the 1-to-10 journey (scaling existing digital platforms for mass reach and revenue). The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in Consumer Tech (B2C), Fintech, Enterprise SaaS, or Investment Products, with additional exposure to B2B platforms as an added advantage.

Key Responsibilities:

- Strategy & Vision (0-to-1 & 1-to-10): Define and execute a long-term product vision aligned with company goals. Drive initiatives through early-stage ambiguity as well as large-scale growth phases to turn market needs into profitable, scalable solutions.

- Team Leadership & Mentorship: Lead, build, and nurture a high-performing team of Product Managers. Establish best-in-class processes for specs, roadmap planning, and career progression.

- Product Innovation, AI & UX: Drive data-led product decisions using user research, A/B testing, analytics platforms (Mixpanel, SQL, Google Analytics), and GenAI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to enhance build efficiency, usability, and engagement.

- Execution & Delivery: Own the product roadmap from concept to launch, maintaining high release quality, minimizing tech debt, and ensuring on-time delivery in close partnership with engineering.

- Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with Sales, Engineering, and Marketing to align go-to-market strategies and present business impact, updates, and roadmaps to executive leadership.

Requirements:

- Experience: 10- 13 years in product management with a proven track record across both 0-to-1 product development and 1-to-10 platform scaling in Consumer Tech (B2C), Fintech, or SaaS environments.

- Leadership: Prior experience directly managing, growing, and guiding a team of Product Managers.

- Education: MBA or B.Tech from a Tier-1 management or engineering institute.

- Technical, AI & Analytical Expertise: Hands-on experience with agile frameworks, product analytics, experimentation, and leverage of modern GenAI productivity tools.

- Soft Skills: Resilient mind-set, exceptional stakeholder management, strong communication skills, and executive presence.
