Group Product Manager (GPM)

Location: Bellandur, Bangalore (On-Site)

Experience: 8 to 12 Years

Domain: Fintech, Payments Infrastructure, Platform Engineering

Role Summary: Leading the Product Frontier

The Group Product Manager (GPM) is a leadership role responsible for a significant "Product Pod" or a business line (e.g., Payouts, Fraud/Risk, or International Payments). You will manage a team of Product Managers and work alongside Engineering Leads to build scalable, high-availability systems that process millions of transactions per second. This role requires a balance of "Grand Vision" and "Operational Rigor."

Detailed Responsibilities

A. Product Strategy & Roadmap

- Visionary Leadership: Define the 12-to-24-month vision for your product pod. You will identify market gaps (e.g., UPI 2.0 innovations, CBDC integrations) and position the company as a first-mover.

- Prioritization Frameworks: Lead the "Quarterly Business Reviews" (QBRs) and manage the backlog using data-driven frameworks to balance new feature development with technical debt and maintenance.

B. Team Management & Mentorship

- People Leadership: Directly manage and mentor a team of 3-5 Product Managers. You are responsible for their growth, performance reviews, and for fostering a culture of "Product Excellence."

- Cross-Functional Synergy: Act as the glue between Engineering, Design, Sales, and Compliance. You must ensure that "Compliance-by-Design" is baked into every product feature.

C. Technical & Analytical Excellence

- System Design Appreciation: While you aren't coding, you must understand distributed systems, microservices, and how API latency affects the checkout experience.

- Data-Driven Decisioning: Deep-dive into Funnel Analytics, Success Rates (SR), and Error Code distributions to identify "leaks" in the payment journey and fix them.

D. Market & Regulatory Alignment

- Compliance Mastery: The Indian payments landscape is highly regulated by the RBI. You will ensure that your products (like PA/PG or Tokenization) are always 100% compliant with evolving guidelines.

Required Pedigree & Qualifications

- Experience: 8-12 years in Product Management, with at least 4 years in a Fintech or high-scale Consumer Tech environment.

- Track Record: Proven experience in launching a product from "0 to 1" or scaling a product from "1 to 100" (millions of users/transactions).

- Skills: Exceptional PRD writing, wireframing (Figma/Whimsical), and stakeholder management skills.

- Education: Engineering degree from a Tier-1 college (IIT/NIT/BITS) followed by an MBA is the ideal profile for this technical-product leadership.

Common Values & Culture Fit (The "Payments" DNA)

On-Site Collaboration: Both roles are strictly on-site in Bellandur. We believe that the high-velocity nature of payments requires "Whiteboard Discussions" and real-time collaboration.

Ownership: We don't have "Project Managers" for your tasks; you own your outcomes from inception to delivery.

Customer Obsession: Whether you are selling or building, the "End Merchant" is at the center of your universe.
