Senior Product Manager

The Run Down

If your Sunday long run doubles as your best thinking time, and you've got opinions on negative splits, gel flavors, or why your city's marathon route could be better — we want to talk.

India Running is where runners come to train smarter, race better, and find their people. We're looking for a Senior Product Manager who doesn't just understand runners — who is one. Someone who's felt the pre-race jitters, obsessed over a PB, and knows that a great running product isn't built from a spreadsheet — it's built from miles on the ground (literally).

What You'll Own

● Product strategy for India Running — from training plans and race day tools to community features that make runners come back.

● The full product lifecycle — discovery, roadmap, specs, sprint planning, launch, and the did it actually work follow-up.

● Data-informed decisions — registration trends, repeat runner behavior, drop-off points, pin-code travel patterns — you'll dig into the numbers the way you'd study a race elevation profile.

● Cross-functional pace-setting — working closely with marketing, ops, and engineering to ship things that matter, not just things that are easy.

● Runner experience end-to-end — from the first email that gets someone to register, to the finish-line photo they screenshot and post.

You're Probably a Fit If

● You've got 5+ years of product management experience, ideally with at least one stint building consumer or community-driven products.

● You run — casually, competitively, or somewhere in between — and you get why runners behave the way they do.

● You're comfortable being both strategic and scrappy — thinking roadmap one hour, debugging a registration flow the next.

● You know how to turn messy, real-world data into a clear here's what we do next.

● You've shipped things — actual features, actual launches — not just decks about features.

● Bonus: you've been part of a race, a run club, or a fitness community and know what makes people show up week after week.

The Terrain

● Based out of Mumbai, with travel to key running markets across India (Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata) around race season.

● Close collaboration with the wider ecosystem — Fitpage, Ascend, and more.

● Fast-moving, event-driven environment — think marathon training blocks energy, not steady-state office pace.

Why This Role

You'll be building for a community that treats running as identity, not just exercise. Every feature you ship has a real finish line — an actual race, an actual runner lacing up because of something you built.
