Our mission is to bring earning opportunities to 1 billion people over the next 10 years. Today, we help lakhs of workers find jobs across categories like quick commerce, logistics, mobility, warehousing, and more.\nWe are looking for a Senior Product Manager to build a 10x job-seeking experience for blue-collar workers in India. This person will own the worker-facing product experience across WhatsApp, voice, app, and other channels - helping workers discover the right jobs, apply easily, get guided through onboarding, and eventually access opportunities beyond jobs.\nThe blue-collar worker is our North Star, and we want our AI Recruiter to become the best way for a worker in India to find a job.\nWhat you’ll do\nYou will deeply understand blue-collar workers - their motivations, anxieties, constraints, language preferences, digital behavior, and trust barriers - and translate those insights into simple, scalable product experiences.\nYou will work closely with engineering, design, AI, operations, and business teams to build products that improve job discovery, application completion, onboarding, worker engagement, and long-term retention. You will also help shape how the AI Recruiter evolves from a job-finding assistant into a broader life-improvement platform for workers.\nResponsibilities\nOwn the worker-facing product roadmap across job discovery, applications, onboarding, engagement, and retention.\nBuild intuitive experiences for users who may be low-trust, low-literacy, mobile-first, and language-diverse.\nUse data, user research, field insights, and experimentation to identify the biggest friction points in the worker journey.\nPartner with AI and engineering teams to build conversational experiences across WhatsApp, voice, and app.\nDefine product metrics and drive measurable improvements in activation, application completion, job matching, placement, and retention.\nWork closely with operations and business teams to understand ground realities and convert them into scalable product solutions.\nRun fast experiments and build simple, high-impact products with strong product judgment.\nWhat we’re looking for\n6-8 years of product management experience, preferably in consumer, marketplace, fintech, edtech, mobility, jobs, or AI products.\nStrong user empathy, especially for underserved or mass-market (‘Bharat’) Indian users.\nAbility to simplify complex workflows into intuitive product experiences.\nStrong analytical ability and comfort with funnel metrics, experimentation, and data-backed decision-making.\nExperience working with cross-functional teams across engineering, design, operations, and business.\nHigh ownership, strong execution, and comfort operating in ambiguity.\nBonus: experience building for Bharat users, WhatsApp-first products, voice products, AI agents, or labor/commerce marketplaces.\nWhy this role matters\nIf we get this right, Vahan’s AI Recruiter can become the default way for India’s blue-collar workforce to find jobs - and over time, a gateway to financial services, upskilling, healthcare, government services, and more.\nThis is an opportunity to build for millions of workers and create a product that can meaningfully improve their lives.\nAbout the founder\nMadhav Krishna is the Founder & CEO of Vahan.ai. He has a background in AI and machine learning, with a Master’s in Artificial Intelligence from Columbia University and a B.Tech from NSIT Delhi.
