About the role:

The Senior Product Manager will work as part of the Digitization and Automation team to help Sun King design, develop, and implement intelligent, tech-enabled solutions to help solve a large variety of our business problems. We are looking for candidates with an affinity for technology and automations, curiosity towards advancement in products and strong communication skills for our in-house software development team.

What you will be expected to do

Strategy & Vision:
  • Own the Product: Develop, prioritize and implement product roadmaps (typically 6-12 months) grounded in user insights, field learnings, stakeholder feedback, and business ROI.
  • Prioritize initiatives that deliver measurable impact—either revenue growth or cost reduction.
  • Influence senior leadership to evaluate, prioritize, and greenlight high impact product investments.
  • Make explicit prioritization trade-offs based on business impact, engineering capacity, and operational readiness.
Mentorship:
  • Mentor and nurture different product team members by setting priorities, removing their blockers, implementing best PM practices/frameworks.
  • Set high standards for documentation, prioritization rigor, and execution discipline.
Execution and Delivery:
  • Work on the full product lifecycle: Discovery, design, development, GTM, and sustained go‑lives.
  • Drive requirements definition: PRDs, workflow diagrams, edge cases, functional and non-functional requirements.
  • Ensure on‑time, high‑quality releases within defined turnaround times (TATs).
  • Own release planning, rollout sequencing, and adoption tracking across countries and teams.
  • Ensure every launch has clear success metrics, operational readiness, and rollback plans.
Work Closely with Engineering & Data:
  • Partner daily with engineering teams to shape system design, APIs, and data models.
  • Head sprint planning, backlog grooming, and scope control.
  • Define testing strategy focused on business-critical flows, failure modes, and realistic user behaviour.
  • Use SQL and dashboards to validate product usage, data quality, and business impact post-launch.
Product Discovery and Opportunity Identification:
  • Work on discovery efforts to identify issues in existing processes, user pain points, and competitive threats. Identify root causes behind process breakdowns, revenue leakage, fraud risk, or poor customer experience.
  • Translate observations into concrete problem statements, not abstract “user needs”.
  • Push back on solutions that look good on paper but won’t work at scale in the field.
Stakeholder Management:
  • Collaborate and act as the single-threaded owner across Engineering, Operations, Sales, Risk, Programs, Call center, Data etc.
  • Work on aligning scope, timelines, rollout plans, and success metrics.
  • Escalate decisively when trade-offs are required between speed, quality, and scope.
Performance Monitoring:
  • Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure product success and impact.
  • Use data to iterate on product performance and drive growth.
Travel:
  • Travel about 10%-20% of the time to places including but not limited to India, Kenya, Myanmar, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zambia and to any other Sun King markets.

You might be a strong candidate if you have/are

  • 7+ years of experience in product management working on complex workflows.
  • Product management experience in android application.
  • Good background in workflow systems, automation, or operations-heavy products.
  • High level of detail orientation, ability to identify process gaps.
  • Ability to perform basic data analysis with SQL.
  • Passionate about software quality, devops, documentation and programming.
