Role Overview We are looking for an early-career Product Manager to join Paytm Lending. The role is about re-imagining how a lending business runs, from underwriting and risk to operations and customer journeys, using LLMs and AI agents. It is a hands-on role. You will dig into data, edge cases, and day-to-day operational problems to understand them from the ground up before designing solutions. We are looking for first-principles thinkers who enjoy building with LLMs and like going deep on real problems.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify workflows across lending (underwriting, risk, recon, operations, collections) where LLMs and agents can add value, and judge where they cannot.
• Build and ship product solutions from prototype to production, working closely with engineering.
• Dig into data, edge cases, and operational detail to understand problems at the root.
• Partner with stakeholders across risk, operations, engineering, and business to align priorities and drive delivery.
• Write clear product requirement documents and manage roadmaps and deliverables.
• Use data to define hypotheses, run experiments (A/B), and track impact; use SQL or Excel to access and validate data independently.
• Track key product and data metrics (OKRs and KPIs) and adjust strategy as needed.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science and/or related field with MBA from top tier colleges.
• 2 to 4 years of professional experience in product management, product analytics, or a similar role, with a strong customer-first mindset.
• Genuine, hands-on experience building with LLMs. You have built something real and can explain how it works and what you learned from it.
• Hunger to learn, fresh first-principles thinking, and the ability to stay structured when problems are ambiguous.
• Strong communication and the ability to articulate ideas clearly and simply.
• Comfort with data (SQL, Excel, analytics) to validate your own hypotheses.
• Ability to work and deliver in a fast-paced environment.
• Good to have: exposure to lending, fintech, or MSME products.
