Group Product Manager

🚀 We're Hiring: Group Product Manager – Order Life Cycle (OLC)
📍 Bangalore, India
🧑 💼 Experience: 7–10 Years
At Porter, every order tells a story.
The moment a customer hits "Book," a complex orchestration begins—tracking, pickups, cancellations, payments, ratings, partner navigation, and much more. The Order Life Cycle (OLC) sits at the heart of this journey, shaping every critical interaction for both customers and driver-partners.
We're looking for a Group Product Manager to own and evolve one of the most strategic platform domains at Porter.
This is not a feature-delivery role.
We're seeking someone who combines deep customer empathy with strong platform-thinking and architectural intuition. Someone who can understand the anxiety of a customer waiting for their vehicle, the challenges faced by driver-partners on the ground, and translate those insights into scalable systems that power millions of transactions.
What You'll Own
🔹 Define and drive the product strategy and roadmap for the Order Life Cycle across a 2–4 quarter horizon.
🔹 Lead the evolution of OLC architecture in partnership with Engineering, influencing domain boundaries, state management, inter-platform contracts, and platform scalability.
🔹 Represent OLC in cross-functional architectural decisions involving Pricing, Allocation, Locations, Payments, and other critical systems.
🔹 Build a continuous discovery engine through customer interactions, support insights, field immersions, and driver ride-alongs.
🔹 Drive execution excellence through structured problem-solving, rigorous experimentation, and clear success metrics.
🔹 Own key business and user metrics including ETA adherence, cancellation rates, waiting time breaches, support contact rates, and partner experience indicators.
What We're Looking For
✔️ 7–12 years of Product Management experience with ownership of high-scale platform products.
✔️ Experience in Logistics, Mobility, Marketplace, Consumer Internet, or similar product-led technology companies.
✔️ Proven track record of building platform systems that directly impact customer-facing experiences.
✔️ Strong technical depth and ability to engage in architectural discussions involving:
• State Machines
• Event-Driven Systems
• Event Sourcing
• Synchronous vs Asynchronous Architectures
• Microservices & Domain Boundaries
✔️ Experience managing PMs or demonstrated ability to lead large, complex platform charters independently.
✔️ Comfortable navigating ambiguity and evolving platform boundaries while maintaining product clarity and execution velocity.
Why Join Us?
The Order Life Cycle is where Porter's customer promise is fulfilled—or broken. As we undergo a fundamental platform re-architecture, you'll have the opportunity to shape systems that directly impact millions of customer and partner interactions while influencing some of the company's most important platform decisions.
If you've built and scaled platform products, thrive at the intersection of user experience and architecture, and enjoy solving deeply complex product challenges, we'd love to connect.
