New Delhi | 10-15 years | Full-time | In Office
About ONDC
At ONDC, Product Leads shape the future of India's open digital commerce ecosystem.
This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for defining product vision, driving strategy, and delivering platform capabilities that enable an entire ecosystem - not just a single product.
That is where you come in.
The Role
As a Product Lead, you will own one or more strategic domains across the ONDC Network, including Financial Services.
You will work at the intersection of technology, ecosystem development, policy and business, partnering with Engineering, Architecture, Network Participants and senior leadership to build interoperable products that scale nationally.
This role is ideal for experienced product leaders who thrive in ambiguous environments and enjoy solving ecosystem-level problems.
What You'll Own
Own the long-term product vision, strategy and roadmap for your assigned domain, translating ONDC's mission into scalable product initiatives.
Identify emerging technology, market and regulatory trends to inform strategic product investments, balancing long-term evolution with near-term execution.
Lead the product lifecycle from opportunity identification through launch and continuous optimisation, owning the roadmap for open APIs, network specifications and platform capabilities.
Partner closely with Engineering and Architecture teams to design secure, scalable and interoperable products, driven by customer insights, ecosystem feedback and data.
Build trusted relationships with buyers, sellers, logistics providers, financial institutions, technology partners and other Network Participants.
Champion interoperability, openness and network-first thinking across the ecosystem, collaborating with industry associations and regulatory stakeholders.
Partner with Engineering, Technology, Policy, Operations, Business and Leadership teams to align product priorities, presenting roadmap and impact to executive leadership.
Mentor and coach Product Managers, establishing scalable product management processes and a culture of customer obsession and experimentation.
What Success Looks Like
You become the owner of product strategy for your domain - someone who can turn ecosystem-level ambiguity into a clear roadmap, and whose products measurably accelerate network adoption and growth.
What We're Looking For
10-15 years of Product Management experience with significant ownership of complex technology products.
Proven experience building and scaling marketplace, platform, API-first, or network-based products.
Experience leading strategic initiatives across multiple cross-functional teams.
Demonstrated success influencing senior executives and driving organisation-wide outcomes.
Experience mentoring Product Managers or leading product teams.
A strong plus
Experience across Financial Services/FinTech | InsurTech or Marketplace Platforms | Digital Public Infrastructure.
This Role Is For You If...
You want to own a domain end-to-end, not run a single product backlog.
You enjoy solving ecosystem-scale problems with systems thinking, not just feature-level ones.
You can influence senior executives and Network Participants with equal fluency.
And you want your product work to create large-scale economic and societal impact.
Why ONDC?
This is an opportunity to help build one of India's most transformative Digital Public Infrastructure initiatives.
You won't just ship features.
You will help shape the future of digital commerce in India.
