Senior Product Manager/Product Lead

The Role We are looking for a hands-on Product Lead to work directly with the founder and turn business ideas into a clear product that designers and developers can execute. The platform combines a marketplace, provider operating system, workflow automation, payments, ERP/finance, analytics and AI. The role is to help decide what should be built, structure it properly and drive it through design and development. Key Responsibilities ● Work with the founder to define product features, priorities and product boundaries. ● Turn ideas and discussions into clear workflows, business rules and product requirements. ● Identify missing scenarios, edge cases, dependencies and decisions before development starts. ● Define roles, permissions, approvals, statuses, SLAs, notifications and configurable workflows. ● Benchmark relevant products and recommend practical solutions. ● Prepare and maintain the Product Blueprint, PRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria and prioritized backlog. ● Define what belongs in Marketplace, Operating System, ERP/Finance and Intelligence. ● Work with the UX/UI designer to ensure the right product is designed. ● Work with the full-stack developer to ensure requirements are clear and buildable. ● Review what is built against the approved requirements and reduce rework and back-and-forth. What We Need ● 7+ years in product management, product ownership or product leadership preferred. ● Experience building marketplaces, B2B SaaS, workflow platforms or operating systems. ● Proven ability to take an unclear idea and turn it into a buildable product. ● Strong experience with PRDs, workflows, user stories, acceptance criteria and backlog prioritization. ● Good understanding of APIs, integrations, data models and system dependencies. ● Strong commercial thinking and ability to connect features to customer/provider value. ● Able to challenge assumptions and recommend solutions rather than only document requirements. ● Comfortable working directly with founders, designers and engineers. Useful Experience Experience in marketplaces, PropTech, FinTech/payments, ERP, field services, booking platforms, e-commerce, travel, workflow automation, analytics or AI is useful. UAE/GCC experience is not required. What Success Looks Like The successful candidate creates one clear source of truth for the product so that: ● Business knows what is being built and why. ● Design knows exactly what needs to be designed. ● Engineering knows exactly what needs to be developed.
