Product Manager – 1 | Success / Cross Sell

Location: Chennai, India
Team: Success Pod
Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Role

AssetPlus is reimagining how mutual fund distribution works in India — and our partners sit at the centre of that ambition. Today, AssetPlus powers more than 20,000 empanelled distribution partners and over 1.5 lakh investors with more than ₹8,000 Cr AUM — and we are just getting started. India is on a trajectory towards 100 million mutual fund investors — but that is only part of the story.
These investors will also need Health Insurance, Term Insurance, Pension Planning, Fixed Income, and Credit Solutions. AssetPlus is building the platform that makes all of this possible — and the Success Pod is at the heart of that expansion.
The Product Manager – Success / Cross Sell owns the cross-sell and product adoption experience at AssetPlus. This role is responsible for helping Mutual Fund Distributors (MFDs) discover, understand, and confidently use products beyond mutual funds — Health Insurance, Term Insurance, NPS, Fixed Deposits (FD), Loan Against Mutual Funds (LAMF), and more.
The Product Manager will build product experiences that educate partners, guide them towards the right solutions for their clients, and drive adoption through timely nudges, seamless integrations, and continuous improvement.
This is a role for a product thinker who wants to grow fast. You will own real problems, talk to real partners, and ship real products while working alongside a Senior Product Manager who will help you develop the strategic muscle over time.
The expectation is not just delivery — it is curiosity, ownership, and a genuine drive to make the partner experience better.

Key Responsibilities

Partner & Investor Understanding

  • Develop a deep understanding of Health Insurance, Term Insurance, NPS, Fixed Deposits (FD), Loan Against Mutual Funds (LAMF), and other strategic product categories, becoming the product and domain expert for these offerings.
  • Own relationships with external product partners and vendors, leading API and product integrations, coordinating launches, managing cross-functional dependencies, and ensuring seamless operational execution throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Represent the needs of both new partners adopting these products for the first time and existing partners looking to increase adoption, ensuring the platform simplifies discovery, education, and transacting.
  • Lead partner interviews, shadow Support and Business teams, and regularly engage with Sales and Operations to uncover friction points, validate product opportunities, and improve partner experience.

Backlog Ownership & Execution

  • Maintain a clear, outcome-aligned backlog for the Success Pod, ensuring each item is tied to measurable improvements in policy purchase, time-to-first transaction, or failure reductions.
  • Translate partner feedback, Operations team insights, regulatory requirements, and data signals into well-defined user stories and acceptance criteria.
  • Maintain forward-looking backlog readiness with at least three sprints of groomed and prioritised work to ensure uninterrupted execution.
  • Make day-to-day product decisions that unblock Engineering and maintain delivery velocity.
  • Own end-to-end execution of product initiatives—from problem discovery and PRD creation through sprint planning, UAT, production launch, and post-launch monitoring.
  • Partner closely with Design and Engineering to make timely product decisions, resolve ambiguities, and maintain execution velocity.

Experimentation & Analytics

  • Define and track leading indicators of success, including step-wise completion rates, time-to-activation, funnel drop-offs, and support ticket volume tied to purchase journeys.
  • Use product analytics and qualitative feedback to identify where the purchase journey breaks down and drive iterative improvements.
  • Work on AI-led initiatives, including AI-assisted onboarding guidance and intelligent nudges that help partners complete their journey faster with less support.
  • Monitor product health post-launch by analysing adoption, funnel performance, production issues, and partner feedback while driving continuous improvements.

Product Expansion

  • Execute product initiatives aligned with AssetPlus' strategic expansion priorities across new business lines and partner segments.
  • Work closely with Business, Compliance, and Operations teams to translate expansion opportunities into buildable product requirements.
  • Partner with the Senior Product Manager to shape product strategy for new initiatives and independently drive execution from discovery through launch, GTM, and adoption, ensuring every initiative is grounded in partner and investor needs.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with Sales, Operations, Compliance, Engineering, Design, Marketing, and Data teams to ensure onboarding flows remain accurate, compliant, and frictionless.
  • Partner with the Senior Product Manager to prioritise initiatives, shape product direction, and execute the Success Pod roadmap.
