KNR and IIT-IIM Alumni are bringing together their synergies and launching a new Venture, an early-stage HR-tech startup building an end-to-end, AI-native platform that unifies HRIS, Applicant tracking, sourcing, assessment, and recruitment into a single system. We're on a mission to help companies hire, manage, and grow their teams more intelligently, replacing fragmented point solutions with one connected, AI-powered platform.
About the Role
We're hiring a Product Manager to help shape the core product from the ground up. You'll work directly with the founding team to define what we build next, turn customer needs into a clear roadmap, and partner closely with engineering and design to ship features that HR teams and recruiters genuinely love using. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to help build a category-defining product at an early stage.

Partner closely with engineering, design, and AI/ML teams to ship features end-to-end
Define and track product metrics activation, retention, feature adoption, and time-to-hire outcomes
Run user research and interviews with HR leaders, recruiters, and candidates to validate ideas
Manage beta programs and iterate quickly based on real customer feedback
Collaborate with founders on GTM, pricing, and packaging decisions
Track HR-tech and AI trends and the competitive landscape to inform strategy
What We're Looking For
2-6 years of product management experience, including 2+ years in B2B SaaS
Strong analytical skills and comfort making decisions from data
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience managing stakeholders across functions
A bias for action and comfort operating with ambiguity in a fast-paced startup environment
Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (MBA is a plus, not required)
Nice to Have
Prior experience with HRIS, ATS, or recruitment/sourcing platforms as a builder or a power user
Experience shipping AI-powered or data-intensive product features
Prior experience at an early-stage (0-to-1) startup
Technical background (CS/Engineering) or strong ability to work closely with engineering on system design
What We Offer
The opportunity to shape a category-defining product from the ground up
Significant ownership and autonomy over your roadmap
Competitive salary plus meaningful equity (ESOPs)
A fast-paced, collaborative, founder-led startup culture
Gurgaon office, with a close-knit early team
