About the role
Zinnov is building a category-defining Agentic AI Operating Platform for Global Capability Centers (GCCs) - enabling enterprises to design, run, and optimize GCCs with speed, data, and outcome focus (replacing slow transitions, opaque ROI, and fragmented execution). As a Product Manager , you will own end-to-end product definition and delivery - translating GCC pain points into workflows, agentic AI-driven recommendations, and a customer-tested MVP that can scale into a production-grade platform. This role is designed for a 0→1 product builder who thrives in ambiguity, operates with high execution rigor, and can align stakeholders across leadership, advisory, engineering, and design-partner customers.
Responsibilities
- Product Strategy & Roadmap Ownership
- Own the product roadmap for the Zinnov GCC Agentic AI Platform, including MVP scope and phased releases.
- Translate GCC pain points (transition delays, delivery gaps, unclear ROI) into clear product workflows and product priorities.
- Define the "why now / why this" narrative for prioritization decisions and trade-offs.
- PRDs, User Journeys & Requirements
- Write PRDs, user journeys, and acceptance criteria with strong clarity and edge-case thinking.
- Define outcomes, success metrics, and instrumentation requirements (adoption, repeat usage, time-to-value).
- Ensure every feature ties back to measurable business outcomes (speed, cost, productivity).
- Cross-functional Delivery Leadership
- Work closely with engineering, AI/data science, QA, and DevOps to ship on aggressive timelines.
- Own execution cadence: sprint planning readiness, dependency tracking, risk management, and release coordination.
- Drive quality through tight scope management, clear definitions of done, and disciplined backlog hygiene.
- Design Partner Validation & Rapid Iteration
- Partner with 5-6 design-partner customers to validate use cases, run pilots, and iterate rapidly.
- Convert customer feedback into actionable product improvements while protecting platform coherence.
- Build strong "voice of customer" loops to refine positioning and product-market fit.
- Agentic AI & Benchmark-led Decisioning
- Shape how agentic AI and proprietary benchmarks drive decisions - not just dashboards.
- Work with AI/data teams to define recommendation workflows, confidence signals, and human-in-the-loop patterns.
- Ensure trust, explainability, and usability are built into the product experience.
- GTM Support & Product Storytelling
- Support product positioning, demos, and early GTM narratives for GCC leaders and enterprise buyers.
- Create crisp demo flows and customer-facing narratives that communicate value and outcomes.
- Partner with internal teams to build launch assets and rollout plans for pilot → production.
- What You Bring
- Qualifications & Experience
- 6-10+ years of Product Management experience in B2B SaaS, data platforms, AI/ML products, or enterprise software .
- Experience building 0→1 products or early-stage platforms (concept to MVP to production).
- Comfortable working with AI/analytics and complex enterprise workflows.
- Exposure to GCCs, enterprise IT, talent platforms, or consulting-led products is a plus.
- Key Skills
- Strong execution mindset with ability to operate in ambiguity and make fast, high-quality decis
