Associate Product Manager at Sun King

About this role

Job location: Remote in India About the role:As an Associate Product Manager on Sun King ’s Digitization and Automation team, you will help design, build, and roll out intelligent, tech‑enabled solutions that solve real business problems at scale. You will work across functions to understand how our people operate today, identify where AI and automation can make a step‑change difference, and turn those insights into products that our teams love to use. We are looking for someone with an AI‑first mindset — a product manager who instinctively reaches for an LLM before opening a blank document, prototypes before writing long specifications, and asks “can AI do this better?” as the starting point for every problem. You will combine that mindset with strong product fundamentals: clear problem framing, structured discovery, sharp documentation, and disciplined execution. In this role, you will own the end‑to‑end lifecycle for AI‑enabled products and workflows: from requirements gathering and workflow design, through prototyping and validation, to launch, adoption, and continuous improvement. You will partner closely with stakeholders across markets and functions, using data and on‑the‑ground feedback to prioritise what to build next and how to iterate. This is a high‑impact role for someone who enjoys getting hands‑on with AI tools, cares deeply about user experience, and wants to help shape how Sun King uses AI and automation to operate faster, smarter, and more efficiently across its global markets.
What you will be expected to do:
1. Product Discovery & Problem Framing

Work with stakeholders including customers, agents, operations, field teams, and business leads to identify workflow pain points.
Document opportunities as structured briefs rather than simple ticket descriptions.
Use AI to synthesise inputs, identify patterns, and convert ambiguity into actionable solutions.

2. Prototype Before Spec

Build working proofs‑of‑concept using LLM APIs, automation tools, or lightweight scripts.
Validate whether an AI‑first approach solves the problem effectively.
Ship quickly and learn even faster.

3. Documentation & Handoffs

Create sharp, handoff‑ready documentation such as use cases, flow charts, PRDs, and system requirements.
Use AI in documentation workflows but ensure accuracy by catching errors that AI may introduce.

4. Execution & Rollouts

Coordinate releases, manage testing, and track adoption.
Resolve stakeholder queries and issues through WhatsApp, ticketing tools, and email.
Own rollout sequencing and ensure readiness across teams.

5. Automation & Data

Identify repetitive business processes and automate them using reliable tools.
Perform regular analytics to track, monitor, and drive product usage.

6. Collaboration

Collaborate and work closely with cross‑functional groups and the development team throughout the product lifecycle.
Keep stakeholders informed at every stage.

7. TravelTravel as required to Sun King markets, including Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Myanmar, and Tanzania.
You might be a strong candidate if you have/are:
A bachelor’s degree in Engineering.
Around 2+ years of professional experience in product management roles.
Hands‑on experience working with SQL to explore data, build queries, and support decision‑making.
A portfolio or GitHub profile showcasing shipped prototypes, automations, internal tools, or AI‑powered workflows.
Strong foundations in LLMs and modern AI concepts, demonstrated through courses (e.g. Anthropic, fast.ai, DeepLearning.AI) or equivalent self‑directed learning.
Comfort using AI tools as part of your day‑to‑day work — from discovery and prototyping to documentation and analysis — while maintaining a critical eye on accuracy and reliability.
Experience using data and analytics to track, understand, and drive product usage and adoption.
Ability to structure and examine ambiguous, open‑ended problems and turn them into clear product opportunities.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex workflows and AI‑integrated solutions to non‑technical stakeholders.
High ownership mindset, proactive attitude, and willingness to get hands‑on with both technical tools and operational details.
Strong attention to detail and a habit of producing clear, well‑structured documentation.
What Sun King offers:
Professional growth in a dynamic, rapidly expanding, high-social-impact industry
An open-minded, collaborative culture made up of enthusiastic colleagues who are driven by the challenge of innovation towards profound impact on people and the planet.
A truly multicultural experience: you will have the chance to work with and learn from people from different geographies, nationalities, and backgrounds.
Structured, tailored learning and development programs that help you become a better leader, manager, and professional through the Sun King Center for Leadership.
