Associate Product Manager

20d • Remote

About The Position

The Associate Product Manager will work as part of the Digitization and Automation team to help Sun King design, develop, and implement intelligent, tech‑enabled solutions to solve a wide variety of business problems. We are looking for candidates who have an AI‑first approach to product management. The ideal candidate instinctively reaches for an LLM before opening a document, prototypes before writing specifications, and treats “can AI do this better” as the first question rather than an afterthought. This role covers end‑to‑end product management: requirements gathering, workflow design, testing, stakeholder coordination, and rollouts. The expectation is that all of these responsibilities are executed in an AI‑first way: faster, sharper, and built to scale.

Requirements

• A bachelor’s degree in Engineering (mandatory).
• 1–3 years of prior professional experience in product management, automation, or related technology roles.
• Hands‑on experience with SQL.
• A GitHub profile or portfolio with shipped prototypes, automations, or internal tools.
• Evidence of LLM and AI foundations (Anthropic courses, fast.ai, DeepLearning.AI, or equivalent self‑learning).
• Experience working with data to track and push product usage.
• Ability to structure and analyze ambiguous problems.
• Clear communication skills across workflows, feature descriptions, Slack messages, and stakeholder updates.
• Proactive attitude and willingness to get hands‑on.
• Attention to detail and strong documentation skills.

Responsibilities

• 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 synthesize inputs, identify patterns, and convert ambiguity into actionable solutions.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Automation & Data: Identify repetitive business processes and automate them using reliable tools. Perform regular analytics to track, monitor, and drive product usage.
• Collaboration: Work closely with cross‑functional groups and the development team throughout the product lifecycle. Keep stakeholders informed at every stage.
• Travel: Travel as required to Sun King markets, including Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Myanmar, and Tanzania.

Benefits

• 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.
