Product Manager

Product Manager (AI Native SaaS Startup)

Location: Gurgaon (Onsite)

KNR is bringing together its two decades of global recruiting experience and is launching a new Venture, an early-stage HR-tech startup building an end-to-end, AI-native platform that unifies HRIS, Applicant tracking, sourcing, assessment, and recruitment into a single system. We're on a mission to help companies hire, manage, and grow their teams more intelligently, replacing fragmented point solutions with one connected, AI-powered platform.

About the Role

We're hiring a Product Manager to help shape the core product from the ground up. You'll work directly with the founding team to define what we build next, turn customer needs into a clear roadmap, and partner closely with engineering and design to ship features that HR teams and recruiters genuinely love using. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to help build a category-defining product at an early stage.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end product roadmap across HRIS, ATS, and sourcing & recruitment modules
• Translate customer conversations, market research, and usage data into a clear, prioritized roadmap
• Write clear PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria that engineering and design can build against
• Partner closely with engineering, design, and AI/ML teams to ship features end-to-end
• Define and track product metrics activation, retention, feature adoption, and time-to-hire outcomes
• Run user research and interviews with HR leaders, recruiters, and candidates to validate ideas
• Manage beta programs and iterate quickly based on real customer feedback
• Collaborate with founders on GTM, pricing, and packaging decisions
• Track HR-tech and AI trends and the competitive landscape to inform strategy

What We're Looking For

• 4–7 years of product management experience, including 2+ years in B2B SaaS
• Strong analytical skills and comfort making decisions from data
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience managing stakeholders across functions
• A bias for action and comfort operating with ambiguity in a fast-paced startup environment
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (MBA is a plus, not required)

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with HRIS, ATS, or recruitment/sourcing platforms as a builder or a power user
• Experience shipping AI-powered or data-intensive product features
• Prior experience at an early-stage (0-to-1) startup
• Technical background (CS/Engineering) or strong ability to work closely with engineering on system design

What We Offer

• The opportunity to shape a category-defining product from the ground up
• Significant ownership and autonomy over your roadmap
• Competitive salary plus meaningful equity (ESOPs)
• A fast-paced, collaborative, founder-led startup culture
• Gurgaon office, with a close-knit early team
