Job Title: Technical Product Manager (Agile Delivery Focus)

Location: Remote
Employment Type: Full-time

Job Summary

• We are looking for a hands-on Technical Product Manager who lives and breathes operational execution.
• You will own our entire delivery pipeline.
• You will useMiroto map out user journeys and workflows with the team, and you will use Zoho Sprintto manage every epic, story, task, and burndown chart.
• Your primary KPI is developer velocity,ensuring every sprint produces tangible, demoable progress that wows senior management and investors.

Key Responsibilities
Operational Delivery:

• Own and manage Zoho Sprint completely. Set up projects, create epics, write detailed user stories with acceptance criteria, and assign story points.
• Run all Agile ceremonies directly inside Zoho Sprint: Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Planning, Backlog Grooming, and Retrospectives.
• Use Miroto facilitate collaborative sessions — mapping complex user flows, wireframing rough ideas with the team, and visualizing dependencies before they go into Zoho Sprint.
• Ruthlessly remove blockers. If a developer is stuck, you step in immediately —whether that means clarifying requirements, chasing stakeholders, or re-prioritizing the sprint.

Product Strategy:

• Own the product roadmap inside Zoho Sprint. Prioritize features based on what will drive user adoption and help close our pre-seed/seed funding round.
• Conductuser research (interviews, surveys, data analysis) to validate that we are building the right things.
• Align the engineering team's output with business milestones and demo timelines.

Technical Bridge:

• You donotneed to write code. However, you must understand system dependencies (APIs, databases, frontend/backend interactions) well enough to challenge developers' estimates and explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.

Must-Have Requirements

• 3+ years of experience as a Technical Project Manager, or Agile Delivery Lead in a startup or fast-paced environment.
• Deep expertise in Zoho Sprint:You have actively used it to manage backlogs, run sprints, generate burndown reports, and track team velocity. You can train the rest of the team on best practices.
• Expert user of Miro:You have used Miro to map user journeys, create workflow diagrams, and facilitate remote team brainstorming sessions. You know how to turn a messy Miro board into a clean, actionable plan.
• Proven operational excellence:You can walk us through exactly how you structure a sprint, manage a backlog, and increase team velocity — using Zoho Sprint as your primary tool.
• Excellent stakeholder communication:You can tell the CEO "no" (or "not yet") in a way that maintains trust, while keeping the developers motivated and unblocked.
• Basic technical literacy:You understand REST APIs, databases, and mobile/web development lifecycles.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Certified Scrum Master (CSM) or Professional Scrum Master (PSM).
• Experience in Healthtech / Femtech / Marketplace.
• Experience preparing product demos for investor pitches.
• Familiarity with Jira or ClickUp (so you can adapt if we ever migrate).
