Product Management·Full-Time·India
Build Your Future With Us
The digitization of tax compliance is fundamentally changing global commerce and how businesses need to operate and grow. Governments now have real-time visibility into business data, creating new challenges and new opportunities for organizations around the world. At Sovos, we're transforming tax compliance from a business requirement into a driver of growth through AI-powered technology that delivers the accurate, real-time insights businesses need to make smarter decisions.
We're solving more than today's tax compliance challenges. We're helping reshape global economies by enabling organizations to navigate increasingly complex and rapidly changing regulatory environments with confidence – and helping communities thrive.
AI is accelerating what's possible, enabling tax and technology professionals to more effectively drive critical regulatory decisions. That's where Sovos excels, combining intelligent technology with human expertise to help customers stay ahead of change.
Don't worry if you don't check every box. We're focused on hiring great people, not perfect resumes. It's less about what you've done elsewhere and more about what you're capable of doing here.
What you'll do
- At Sovos, we're looking for an Associate Product Manager who will support product strategy and execution for a product area whilst taking on Product Owner responsibilities day to day. AI fluency is a core part of this role. You'll own the backlog, write sprint-ready stories, and leverage AI tools daily to research, analyse, draft, and prototype faster and more effectively. This is a global posting for India.
- More Specifically, You Will
- Own and prioritise the product backlog; keep it groomed two sprints ahead and write Jira stories with clear user story, context, acceptance criteria (Given/When/Then), and explicit out-of-scope details.
- Run sprint planning, refinement, and demos with engineering, QA, and design; accept or reject delivered work against acceptance criteria and coordinate UAT and release readiness.
- Support the Senior Product Manager on roadmaps, PRDs, and business cases; analyse usage data, support tickets, and customer feedback to identify problems worth solving.
- Work with customer success and sales to turn customer requests into validated requirements; track delivery, risks, and dependencies and report status clearly and honestly.
- Use AI tools (Claude or similar) daily for research, synthesis, drafting PRDs and stories, and analysing data; build repeatable AI workflows such as story-drafting templates or connected tools to save team time.
- Turn ideas into clickable prototypes or small internal tools using AI-assisted design or coding tools; demonstrate AI product sense by understanding LLM limits and specifying AI features with evaluation criteria and fallback behaviour.
What you'll bring
- You've built solid experience (typically 2–3 years) in product, business analysis, or product ownership, with prior hands-on experience as both a Product Owner and in a product management role.
- Working knowledge of Agile/Scrum and Jira (epics, stories, sprints, boards); you're comfortable managing backlogs and running agile ceremonies.
- Clear, concise written communication skills; you can write acceptance criteria an engineer cannot misread and deliver status updates that are honest and actionable.
- Comfortable with data: you can read a dashboard and use analytics tools to answer product questions; you bring an ownership mindset and follow through without being chased.
- AI fluency is essential: you use AI tools daily, write structured prompts, catch hallucinations and weak reasoning, and understand data-privacy risks; you can show real examples of building AI workflows, rapid prototyping, and responsible AI use with company-approved tools.
- Domain knowledge in tax, compliance, or fintech is a plus, as is experience with UI prototyping tools, design systems, or evaluating and shipping AI-powered features.
- Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check upon hire.
