Design-minded Product Manager building AI document products from roadmap to launch.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Product Manager with a design background, currently part of a founding team owning product strategy and execution for an AI-powered PDF suite—from roadmap and prioritization to launch. I translate user pain points and feedback into a feature backlog, and I write PRDs, user journeys, and feature specs to align engineering, design, and leadership.
Before product management, I spent over a year designing enterprise digital products, partnering with engineering, business, and design to define requirements and ship features end-to-end. At HDFC Life, I drove delivery of multiple enterprise products, led a website redesign using data-informed decisions, and built a design system adopted across product teams.
My approach is collaborative and execution-focused: I lead UX improvements across core journeys, simplify onboarding and workflows through user research, and support scoping and technical trade-offs with engineers. I enjoy 0-to-1 work and mentoring through clear communication, stakeholder alignment, and agile delivery.
