# Founding Product Manager (IIT/NIT/BITS)

> Weekday AI · Bengaluru, India · Full-time · Posted 2026-08-03

**Workplace:** on_site

**Department:** Weekday's Client via platform

## Description

**This role is for one of the Weekday's clients**

Min Experience: 3+ years

Location: India, Bengaluru

Looking for a Product Manager who wants to build, not just manage. This is a zero-to-one, high-ownership role where you work directly with the founders and own the product lifecycle end to end — discover, build, test, distribute. You'll be in Figma, in the analytics, in the prototype, in the customer call. If you enjoy structured roadmaps, long planning cycles, and delegation, this role is not for you.

## Requirements

### **Key Responsibilities**

-   Own product problems end-to-end — from identifying the opportunity to shipping, scaling, and getting the solution into users' hands.
-   Operate with extreme speed: weekly shipping beats perfect planning.
-   Use AI tools aggressively to prototype, validate, and move faster than traditional product teams.
-   Work hands-on across design (Figma), analytics, and product workflows — not through handoffs.
-   Scope new features and improvements by pulling insights from customer conversations, usage data, and the market landscape.
-   Run experiments, iterate fast, and drive measurable impact on core product metrics.
-   Collaborate deeply with engineering and the founders: no silos, no throwing specs over the wall.

### **Qualifications**

-   Engineering Degree from a Top IIT, NIT, BITS
-   3–5 years building products, preferably at early-stage startups.
-   Strong bias for action and ownership — you don't wait for direction, you build.
-   Comfortable getting your hands dirty across design, analytics, and execution.
-   Working fluency with Figma, Mixpanel or Amplitude, and Linear or Jira.
-   Experience with both B2B and B2C products is a strong plus.
-   Ability to think from first principles and make progress on ambiguous, undefined problems.
-   High agency, high curiosity, and a genuine sense of urgency.

### **Required Skills**

Product discovery, Zero-to-one product building, Figma, Mixpanel / Amplitude, Linear / Jira, AI-assisted prototyping, Experimentation & A/B testing, Product analytics, Customer research, Roadmap prioritization, Cross-functional collaboration, B2B SaaS, First-principles problem solving, Rapid iteration, Go-to-market execution

### **Benefits & Perks**

-   Direct, daily access to the founders — you're building with them, not reporting up to them.
-   Genuine zero-to-one ownership on a product still defining its category.
-   Meaningful ESOPs in a fast-growing startup.
-   Freedom to use the best AI tooling available to move faster.
-   Small team, no bureaucracy — your decisions ship the same week.

### **Hiring Process**

-   Stage 1: Apply and submit the application form
-   Stage 2: Attempt AI interview (15 min)
-   Stage 3: R0: Telephonic Interview with Recruiting Team
-   Stage 4: R1:  Interview with Leadership Team
