Job Description
Programme Manager — Product & Programme Development
Location:
Remote (India)
Role Summary
It is responsible for converting
programme components that currently exist as ideas, one-off interventions, or
informal practice into structured, repeatable, scalable products — with defined
scope, playbooks, and delivery formats that any Venture Partner or Sprint
Operator across hubs can pick up and run consistently.
Key Responsibilities
Create
playbooks for each sprint type so delivery quality doesn't depend on which
Sprint Operator runs it
Design
and productize the SMB Community and peer network model (Peer Circles, Hub
Chapters) into a defined, repeatable format
Design
the Alumni Engagement pathway — structure for repeat sprints and a paid
conversion model for ventures exiting the core programme
Build
out Sector Focus Sprints as standalone products, examples:
‑
Defence Manufacturing
— DPP compliance,
OEM connect
‑
Food & Agro
— export certification,
retail entry
‑
EV & Clean Tech
— OEM partnerships,
subsidy navigation
Take
other ad hoc or one-off interventions run across hubs and convert them
into standardized, reusable products (clear scope, inputs, outputs,
effort)
Bring
an analytical lens to product design — sizing demand, structuring
frameworks, validating assumptions before building
Build
and maintain a network of external service providers relevant to sector
sprints (compliance consultants, certification bodies, OEM connectors,
etc.)
Apply
consulting-style structured problem solving to genuinely ambiguous,
undefined areas of the programme
Requirements
Background
in management consulting, or a Chartered Accountant with strong exposure
to business problem-solving
Strong
grounding in management consulting problem-solving frameworks
(structuring, hypothesis-driven analysis, MECE-style breakdowns) —
hands-on sector experience is not required, ability to apply frameworks to
a new sector is what matters
Demonstrated
experience building frameworks, playbooks, or productized service
offerings — not just executing against someone else's brief
Strong
analytical and structuring ability; comfortable working from ambiguity to
a defined product
Existing
or buildable network of relevant service providers/experts, able to work
independently in a remote, build-from-scratch capacity
