Product Lead – Internal Platforms

We are a fast-growing operating business building internal software to run our own operations better—reporting, visibility, process control, and execution tracking.

This is not a SaaS-for-the-world product. These are real internal tools, used daily by teams that care about speed, accuracy, and reliability. The founder is hands-on with ideation and problem-solving. What we are building now needs structure, clarity, and disciplined execution so ideas turn into usable software without chaos.

Role Purpose

Own the translation of founder-led ideas into clear product documentation and executable plans, and ensure a junior development team ships internal software correctly and efficiently.

This role sits between vision and code.

Core Responsibilities

• Idea → Clarity
• Work directly with the founder to shape raw ideas into:
• Problem statements
• User and system flows
• Feature scope, priorities, and exclusions
• Identify assumptions, edge cases, and trade-offs early
• Documentation Ownership
• Create and maintain:
• PRD-lite documents (1–3 pages per feature)
• Functional requirements
• Acceptance criteria
• Ensure documentation is unambiguous and executable by freshers
• Task Breakdown & Planning
• Break features into:
• Developer-ready tasks
• Clear milestones and dependencies
• Maintain execution boards (Notion / Jira or equivalent)
• Define “done” before development starts
• Development Guidance
• Guide junior developers on intent, scope, and priorities
• Review work-in-progress to prevent drift and rework
• Resolve requirement and logic gaps quickly
• Quality & Alignment
• Validate outputs against original product intent
• Push back on incorrect or incomplete implementations
• Balance speed with correctness
