Product Manager
Location: Chennai, India
Function: Product Team
Type: In Office
Why this role exists
AssetPlus is evolving from a “feature request” culture into a problem-first, metric-driven product organization.
Our product team operates through focused pods — each responsible for a specific business charter and outcome metrics. As a Product Manager, you will work within one of these pods and take ownership of discovery, prioritisation, and delivery excellence.
We’re looking for someone who can operate on both sides of the product mandate:
Thoughtfully channelising and prioritising inbound requests from internal and external stakeholders
Proactively shaping a strong, forward-looking roadmap rooted in real user pain points and strategic opportunities
This is not a backlog management role. This is about building meaningful, high-impact products that improve partner productivity, unlock revenue, increase cross-sell penetration, and create differentiated experiences in wealth distribution.
Where you’ll fit in
You’ll work within one of our focused product pods, each with a defined business charter and outcome metrics.
Depending on business priorities, your pod may be responsible for strengthening core investment journeys, expanding financial product capabilities, or improving partner productivity and lifecycle management across the platform.
While each pod has a different domain focus, the expectations from the Product Manager remain consistent — strong discovery, sharp prioritisation, structured execution, and measurable impact.
The Two Sides of the Role
Owning the Inbound & Prioritisation Engine
You will receive requests from:
Distributors and partners
Sales & relationship teams
Operations
Leadership
External ecosystem partners
Your job is not to convert requests into tickets. Your job is to:
Deconstruct requests into the underlying problem
Identify whether the issue is systemic or isolated
Quantify impact using data (AUM, activation, cross-sell, retention, productivity, etc.)
Evaluate trade-offs against current roadmap priorities
Communicate decisions clearly and confidently
Strong PMs here protect the roadmap while staying deeply empathetic to stakeholders.
Building a Healthy, Insight-Led Roadmap
Beyond inbound prioritisation, you are responsible for shaping a roadmap that solves meaningful problems and builds long-term product strength.
This means:
Identifying core friction points for distributors and end clients
Mapping breakdowns across onboarding, transactions, servicing, and lifecycle journeys
Spotting revenue unlocks and behavioral bottlenecks
Proposing differentiated, industry-forward capabilities
Across our platform, product development involves working with external ecosystem partners such as AMCs, insurance providers, NPS platforms, and other financial product vendors. As a Product Manager, you will:
Evaluate integration opportunities with third-party systems
Understand API capabilities and technical constraints
Design user-first experiences while working within external platform limitations
Avoid fragmented, “bolt-on” journeys and instead build cohesive flows inside the AssetPlus app
Identify lifecycle tools (e.g., renewal nudges, portfolio intelligence, contribution reminders, tracking dashboards) that create real partner value
You should be equally comfortable:
Fixing operational friction
Improving conversion funnels
Automating workflows
Building intelligence layers
Designing lifecycle nudges
Making integration trade-offs that balance speed, scale, and user experience
The best PMs in this role don’t just respond to requests — they build product direction with clarity and conviction.
What you’ll be doing
1. Lead Product Discovery
Conduct regular conversations with distributors and internal stakeholders
Analyze product analytics and operational data
Shadow user journeys to understand real friction
Synthesize scattered feedback into structured insights
Define crisp problem statements with measurable impact
2. Validate Before Building
Design small experiments to test assumptions
Work with design to prototype and gather early feedback
Define success metrics before development begins
Kill ideas quickly when evidence doesn’t support them
3. Drive Structured Execution
Write clear, concise PRDs with defined scope and edge cases
Break initiatives into prioritised, sprint-ready tasks
Stay closely involved during build to unblock decisions
Ensure engineering rarely needs clarifications
4. Collaborate Across Functions
You will work closely with:
Engineering
Design
Sales
Operations
Compliance
External ecosystem partners
You should be able to:
Align stakeholders on trade-offs
Manage ambiguity
Handle conflicting priorities
Drive clarity without formal authority
5. Measure and Iterate
Track feature performance against defined metrics
Identify unintended consequences
Iterate based on data
Close the loop with stakeholders
We measure success by outcomes, not feature count.
What will make you successful here
Problem-first mindset
Strong prioritisation judgment
Structured thinking
Comfort with ambiguity
Data-driven decision-making
High ownership and accountability
Ability to balance short-term execution with long-term product health
What we’re looking for
5 years in product management, business analysis, growth, ops, or tech roles
Experience working closely with engineering and writing requirements
Exposure to user research and analytics
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Ability to manage multiple stakeholders effectively
Nice to Have
Experience in fintech, SaaS, or marketplace models
Understanding of mutual funds, insurance, or NPS products
Exposure to API integrations or third-party system integrations
What success looks like in 6 months
You’ve independently driven 2–3 meaningful initiatives
Stakeholders trust your prioritisation decisions
Engineering considers your PRDs clear and complete
Your launches show measurable business or behavioral impact
You’ve contributed meaningfully to roadmap thinking within your pod
This role is for someone who can think strategically, operate structurally, and execute pragmatically.
