Senior Product Manager

Senior Product Manager Manifest Global · Delhi, India What This Role Is Right now, a counselor at a partner school in Manila is using Cialfo. A university admissions officer in Melbourne is using Explore to find the same student. A Kaaiser advisor in Delhi is talking that student's family through visa logistics for a course starting in six months. A BridgeU counselor at an international school in Nairobi is running the exact same workflow — on a different product, with a different roadmap, built by a different team that has never spoken to the other three. Four products. One flywheel. Right now, they don't know it. Manifest's own flywheel — more schools, more students, more data, better recommendations, higher conversion, more university revenue, better student experience, more schools — only compounds if the products feeding it are built as one system. Today they aren't. Each brand ships in isolation. Roadmaps are set brand by brand, not around where the ecosystem actually creates leverage. And Saige, the AI layer meant to sit across all of it, is live — but weekly active usage sits under 10%. That gap is not a marketing problem. It's a product problem. This role exists to close it. You will be the first person accountable for a single product roadmap across Cialfo, BridgeU, Kaaiser, and Explore — not four roadmaps politely coordinated, one roadmap built around where the ecosystem compounds. You will own where Saige goes next and why adoption is stuck below 10%. And you will build the data layer that lets a signal from a counselor in Manila actually inform a decision a product team makes for a student in Delhi. Nobody has built this yet at Manifest. That's the job. What Makes This Role Different Most Senior PM roles mean owning a slice of one product's backlog inside one team's roadmap cadence. This one doesn't. You are being asked to define the roadmap logic across four products that, until now, have been built independently — and to make the case, product by product, for why a shared system beats four local optimizations. The Manifest ecosystem is the leverage here, and it's leverage no standalone competitor has. Cialfo's 2,000+ partner schools generate counselor and student behavior no other platform sees. Explore's 1,000+ university partners generate demand-side signal on exactly which students convert and why. Kaaiser's on-the-ground placement expertise across India and Southeast Asia tells you where the real friction sits between interest and enrolment. BridgeU extends all of that into international schools globally. No other company in this market has all four data sources sitting inside one portfolio. Right now, that advantage is latent — sitting in four separate systems that don't talk to each other. You're the person who turns it into a live advantage. The broader overseas education market is contracting. Manifest is growing through exactly this kind of connective work — building the operating system underneath four brands rather than four separate products. This is the moment to be the one building it. What You Own The cross-brand product roadmap Build and own a single prioritization framework across Cialfo, BridgeU, Kaaiser, and Explore — replacing four independently-set roadmaps with one built around where the ecosystem compounds Make the call, product by product, on what gets built centrally versus what stays brand-specific, and defend that call to each brand's leadership Run the quarterly roadmap review that connects product bets to flywheel outcomes — more schools, more students, more conversion — not just feature ship dates Saige AI product strategy Own why weekly active usage on Saige sits under 10% today, and build the roadmap that changes that number Define what Saige needs to become to be genuinely useful inside a counselor's or advisor's daily workflow, not an add-on feature nobody opens Set the measurement framework that tells the business, honestly, whether Saige is working — and keep the roadmap acco…
