Product Manager (AI Native SaaS HR Tech)
Location: Gurgaon (Onsite)
KNR and IIT-IIM Alumni are bringing together their synergies and 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
