Senior Product Manager

Job Description

About the Team

Product Management in Meesho closely resembles our rocketship growth. Because we obsess over understanding customer behaviour, we've been able to carve out an e-commerce niche in Tier 2/3/4 towns in Bharat. Our business growth is testimony to a singular focus on how we think of product for our unique customers - ones that have barely shopped online, but are now able to because of Meesho.

Fun fact: Nearly 7% of India's households shop with us.

We are driven by a user-first mindset. We have a strong bias for action. Above all, our team is driven by impact, not features. We drive problem discovery & delivery - not only obsess over what to build, but execute with rigour to create impact.

But there's more - we love to have fun as much as we love to work hard. From movie buffs, to sportspersons, we have a super cool team. So, if a game of badminton after a day of brainstorming at work sounds like something you would love to do, then join us
