The role

We have more ideas than we can build. Your job is to figure out which ones are real, and turn the survivors into a product specification sharp enough for engineering to build from.

You won't be generating ideas!!  You'll be the person who decides which ones deserve investment — through live customer conversations, rigorous market sizing, and a written case that leadership can act on. Some of what you look at should die. Killing an idea well is as valuable here as championing one !!

What you'll do

• Take a rough concept and design the fastest honest test of whether there's a real need behind it
• Run customer and prospect interviews; separate what people said from what you concluded
• Size the opportunity — TAM/SAM, pricing, unit economics — and be clear about which assumptions the number actually rests on
• Write the recommendation memo: build, don't build, or build something narrower. Own the call.
• Turn a validated concept into a PRD — problem, scope, what's in the first version and what isn't
• Work with engineering leads on feasibility early enough that it changes the spec, not after

What we're looking for

• MBA from IIM A/B/C/L/I/K or equivalent.
• Exceptional structured writing. Your memos are the product of this role.
• High Comfort with numbers: financial modeling in Excel/Sheets, basic SQL, product analytics
• Can hold a real conversation with a senior Global executive based in developed markets (or a frustrated customer without a script !!)
• Already using AI tools in how you work, not just aware of them

What you get

Direct access to CXOs on a daily basis, real ownership of investment recommendations, and a short path between your analysis and what actually gets built.
