Product Manager – Digital

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in India.

📋 Description

• Take charge of the problem definition process by synthesizing field signals, program objectives, and Pratham’s pedagogical principles into well-defined product opportunities.

• Create and sustain the product roadmap, making strategic prioritization choices that balance educational impact, technical feasibility, and organizational timelines.

• Maintain the product vision consistently in a multi-funder landscape, knowing when to incorporate external feedback and when to safeguard the core integrity of the product.

• Draft problem statements and solution briefs for AI, analytics, and software teams—acting as the bridge across functions that may not always communicate effectively.

• Collaborate with Pratham’s field implementation, technology, educational program teams, and funding stakeholders, translating requirements into actionable decisions for the team.

• Advocate for responsible AI practices—including data privacy and age-appropriate design—in all products developed for children.

• Work closely with analytics, measurement, and development teams from concept through launch and iteration.

• Define and monitor products using quantitative methods, converting qualitative insights into numerical data to enhance feedback assessment.

• Possess a technical skill set: adept at quickly learning new tools and utilizing existing technology to independently create prototypes, dashboards, and feedback instruments—this includes designing and conducting A/B testing experiments without relying on engineering support.

⛳️ Requirements

• 5–8 years of professional experience, including a minimum of 3 years in a product management position.

• Proven track record of taking technical products from conception to launch, covering the product vision, go-to-market strategy, and design discussions.

• Ability to independently use current tools to prototype, construct dashboards, and design feedback experiments.

• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills.

• Willingness to work across 2-3 time zones in a single day with teams located in India, the US, Africa, and Latin America.

• Domestic and international travel to project implementation sites—including rural India, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America—is a requirement for this position. Candidates should anticipate periodic travel throughout the year.
