The role will drive product strategy, roadmap, customer journeys, integrations and business outcomes across mobile and web platforms. The ideal candidate will have hands-on product management experience in a digital investment platform, wealth-tech company, fintech, bank or broking environment, and a strong understanding of the mutual fund investment lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities
1. Mutual Fund Product Ownership
- Own the end-to-end mutual fund product lifecycle across discovery, investment, servicing and portfolio management.
- Drive digital journeys for onboarding, KYC, risk profiling, lumpsum investments, SIP registration, mandate setup, purchase, redemption, switch, cancellation, SIP pause/modify and transaction tracking.
- Build and enhance fund discovery, scheme details, comparison, filters, portfolio views, performance analytics, goal-based investing and investor education features.
- Work on integrations with AMCs, RTAs, BSE StAR MF / relevant transaction platforms, payment gateways, banks and other ecosystem partners, as applicable.
- Improve funnel conversion, transaction success, SIP activation, repeat investments, AUM growth and customer retention.
- Ensure a seamless experience across direct and regular mutual fund propositions, where applicable.
2. Digital Product Strategy & Execution
- Define product vision, strategy, roadmap, prioritisation and success metrics in line with business objectives and customer needs.
- Translate business requirements into BRDs, product requirement documents, user stories, use cases, process flows and acceptance criteria.
- Drive product discovery through customer insights, data analysis, market research and competitor benchmarking.
- Partner with UX/UI, engineering, QA, operations, compliance and business teams to deliver scalable and intuitive digital experiences.
- Lead sprint planning, backlog prioritisation, UAT, release management and post-launch monitoring.
3. Wealth & Investment Products
- Work across adjacent investment products such as equities, ETFs, fixed deposits, bonds, NCDs, NPS, digital gold, PMS and AIFs, based on business priorities.
- Identify opportunities to create integrated investment journeys, cross-sell relevant products and improve customer lifetime value.
- Collaborate with AMCs, banks, brokers, fintech partners and vendors for product launches and platform integrations.
4. Analytics & Business Growth
- Define and track KPIs including visitor-to-investor conversion, KYC completion, SIP registrations, mandate success, order success, AUM, active investors and repeat transaction rates.
- Analyse customer behaviour, funnel drop-offs, cohorts and product usage to identify growth and experience improvements.
- Use experimentation, A/B testing and data-led prioritisation to optimise product journeys.
- Prepare product performance dashboards and business reviews for senior stakeholders.
5. Regulatory, Risk & Compliance
- Work with compliance, legal and operations teams to translate applicable SEBI, AMFI, AMCs, RTA and other regulatory requirements into product features and controls.
- Ensure appropriate disclosures, risk profiling, suitability, consent, audit trails and transaction controls are incorporated into customer journeys.
- Support regulatory change implementation, issue resolution and applicable reporting requirements.
Required Experience & Skills
- 10-14 years of overall experience, with substantial hands-on product management experience in mutual funds or digital investment platforms.
- Strong understanding of the mutual fund lifecycle, including onboarding/KYC, fund discovery, purchase, SIP, mandates, redemption, switch, portfolio tracking and servicing.
- Experience owning digital products on mobile apps and/or web platforms, preferably in a high-volume consumer fintech or wealth-tech environment.
- Ability to define product strategy, write clear requirements, prioritise roadmaps and deliver measurable business outcomes.
- Experience working with engineering, design, QA, operations, compliance, business teams and external technology partners.
- Strong product analytics, funnel analysis, problem-solving, stakeholder management and communication skills.
