- Independent initiative leadership — Identify gaps, size opportunities, and drive initiatives from zero to one without waiting for direction

- Data-driven decision making — Deep-dive into data to surface insights, define hypotheses, and measure impact of interventions

Key Responsibilities

- MBA from a Tier-1 institute (preferred)

- 4–7 years of total work experience in product management, business analytics, or strategy roles — preferably in fintech, payments, or consumer/merchant-facing products

Must-Have Skills

- SQL — strong querying skills to independently pull, slice, and analyze data without dependency on analysts

- Strong product thinking with the ability to connect user problems to business outcomes - Comfort operating in ambiguity; ability to structure problems and drive clarity - Excellent stakeholder management and communication — can align cross-functional teams and influence without authority

Good to Have

- Experience with merchant-facing products or devices (POS, IoT, payment hardware) - Familiarity with experimentation frameworks (A/B testing, holdout groups) - Exposure to data science workflows (model inputs, feature logic, monitoring)

Why This Role

- High-visibility mandate with direct impact on one of Paytm's fastest-growing hardware businesses

- Work with a driven team that moves fast, measures everything, and rewards ownership.
