Product Manager - eCommerce - IIT/NIT/IIM/ISB

Product Manager: your visionary who is not happy with status quo and craving to take over the market with new product ideas and crushing the competition by driving growth. Along the way, you collaborate with engineers and designers to maximize the impact of your work.

To succeed, you must possess a unique blend of business and technical savvy; a big-picture vision, and the drive to make that a reality. You must enjoy spending time with potential customers in the market to understand their problems, discover unmet needs and find innovative solutions. You must be able to communicate with all areas of the company. You will serve as the internal and external evangelist for your products, occasionally working with the business development and key customers.

A product manager's key role is strategic, not tactical. The other organizations will support your strategic vision; you should not be supporting their tactical tasks.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

As a senior product leader, you will work collaboratively with senior executives to develop overall product strategies, set goals and objectives for growth, and establish timelines for the regular release of new products and features. We'll depend on you to innovate, invent, develop, execute and refine our product strategies based on deep understanding of and empathy for the needs of users.

Great products come from great collaborations, and you'll need to partner with engineers, designers, and researchers to create products that delight our users. Great products are also the result of the hard work with close attention to detail - your colleagues will depend on you to write clear and complete specifications for our products and services that guide teams of designers and engineers.

You'll also need to sweat the little things and constantly push your peers towards perfection. The best products shouldn't require much explanation, but you'll need to be comfortable talking about our products with peers, partners, press and be able to articulate how our products work and explain why they matter.
