Associate Product Manager

Overview

An early-career Associate Product Manager role working in a structured apprenticeship alongside a senior product manager and senior engineers on a live AI SaaS product for market research agencies.

What you'll do

• Sit in on user interviews with research operators, project managers, and agency leaders, and take the lead on some once ready.
• Start recognizing the difference between what a user asks for and the real problem underneath, with coaching.
• Help write up product ideas, user flows, and simple requirements docs for a senior PM to review and refine.
• Take a first pass at breaking a defined problem into smaller, engineering-sized pieces, with guidance.
• Help build and test simple prototypes or mockups to get early feedback from users and the team.
• Sit in on engineering discussions to learn how requirements turn into shipped software.
• Answer engineers' clarifying questions on the pieces of work you own, escalating to your senior PM when unsure.
• Track the status of the features you're closest to and flag blockers early.
• Help gather feedback after something ships from users, support tickets, and usage data, and summarize what you find.
• Notice when something isn't working as intended and bring it to your senior PM rather than fixing it solo.

What you'll need

• 2-3 years of full-time experience, or strong internship experience, in a business, technical, or analytical role.
• Curiosity about AI beyond prompting, with hands-on tinkering such as a side project, an automation, or a small tool built with AI APIs or no-code agents.
• Strong written communication, able to summarize a conversation or problem clearly and simply.
• Genuine curiosity about how software products get built, and comfort asking questions.
• Comfort talking to people outside your own function (users, engineers, designers) and taking good notes.
• Basic organizational skills to track several moving pieces of work and follow up without things falling through the cracks.
• Coachability: looking for regular feedback and an actively involved senior PM.

Nice to have

• Prior exposure to B2B software, workflow tools, or AI products.
• Familiarity with tools such as Figma, Notion, or basic SQL (not required, easy to pick up on the job).
• Product management background is a plus but not required.

Details

• Location: Bengaluru.
• Paired with a senior product manager; works closely with senior engineers on a live product area.
