About Anakin

Anakin is a growth-stage Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) startup building real-time Pricing & Competitive Intelligence platforms for large enterprises. We operate in complex, data-heavy environments where execution quality, speed, and clarity of thinking is critical.

We're hiring a Program Manager (Product + GTM) - a hands-on operator who can take ambiguous problems across product and go-to-market, turn them into structured execution, and ship outcomes.

The Role: Program Manager (Product + GTM)

This is not a "strategy-only" role. This is a high-ownership execution + product operator role where you will:

- Run 0- 1 / 1- N programs that connect product building with growth & customer acquisition

- Break ambiguity into structure: problem - plan - milestones - measurable outcomes

- Execute relentlessly (not by delegating everything)

- Own outcomes end-to-end across Product, Growth Marketing, Sales/RevOps, and Partnerships

- You'll work closely with the Founder/CEO/Function Heads, and will be accountable for business impact, not activity.

What You'll Own:

1) Product Program Ownership (Core):

- Own mission-critical product programs: new modules/features, integrations, onboarding flows, analytics, reliability initiatives, internal tooling.

- Translate business/GTM needs into crisp product requirements and execution plans.

- Drive execution across Product/Engineering/Design with tight timelines and high quality.

Ensure shipping isn't just "done" - it's adopted and creates measurable impact.

2) Growth Marketing + Customer Acquisition Programs:

- Run growth initiatives that move acquisition and activation: landing pages, lead magnets, - outbound/ABM experiments, performance marketing pilots (as relevant), website conversion improvements.

- Partner with Growth/Marketing to define funnels, experiments, success metrics, and iteration cadence.

- Build repeatable playbooks for what works (not one-off hacks).

3) GTM Enablement + Revenue Programs:

- Own cross-functional GTM programs: funnel efficiency, lead qualification, pipeline hygiene, pricing/packaging experiments, sales productivity, partnerships motions.

- Work with Sales/RevOps to improve conversion, cycle time, win-rates, and expansion plays.

- Ensure GTM decisions are backed by data and executed with discipline.

4) Cross-Functional Execution & Cadence:

- Run cross-functional initiatives across Product, Marketing, Sales, Ops, and People.

- Set clear owners, timelines, dependencies, risks, and decision points.

- Unblock teams, drive follow-through, and keep programs moving without drama.

5) Data, Metrics & Operating Rhythm:

- Build simple, powerful dashboards (MIS) for leadership - no vanity metrics.

- Own weekly/monthly reviews: insights, decisions, action items, and closure.

- Turn data into clear narratives: "what changed, why, what we do next."

What We're Looking For (Non-Negotiables):

1) You're a Strong Operator:

- You execute extremely well and finish what you start.

- You're comfortable in ambiguity and can independently figure things out.

- You push projects to completion with high standards.

2) You're Structured & Rigorous:

- You think in outcomes, priorities, trade-offs, and milestones.

- You bring order to chaos without over-engineering.

- You communicate crisply and drive alignment.

3) You're Outcome-Driven:

- You measure success in results, not effort.

- You build momentum, show progress, and make impact visible.

- You proactively take ownership - you don't wait to be told.

Experience & Background:

1-5 years of experience in one or more of:

- Product programs

- Growth teams / Growth marketing ops

- Consulting with strong execution exposure

- Startup operator roles where you shipped cross-functional outcomes

Education: B.Tech + MBA (preferred / strongly aligned)

Strong comfort with data, spreadsheets, dashboards, and first-principles problem solving

High learning velocity; able to context-switch across product + GTM without losing depth
