Vahan.ai is building an AI recruiter for India’s massive blue-collar workforce. Our mission is to bring earning opportunities to 1 billion people over the next 10 years. Today, we help lakhs of workers find jobs across categories like quick commerce, logistics, mobility, warehousing, and more.
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to build a 10x job-seeking experience for blue-collar workers in India. This person will own the worker-facing product experience across WhatsApp, voice, app, and other channels — helping workers discover the right jobs, apply easily, get guided through onboarding, and eventually access opportunities beyond jobs.
The blue-collar worker is our North Star, and we want our AI Recruiter to become the best way for a worker in India to find a job.
You will deeply understand blue-collar workers — their motivations, anxieties, constraints, language preferences, digital behavior, and trust barriers — and translate those insights into simple, scalable product experiences.
You will work closely with engineering, design, AI, operations, and business teams to build products that improve job discovery, application completion, onboarding, worker engagement, and long-term retention. You will also help shape how the AI Recruiter evolves from a job-finding assistant into a broader life-improvement platform for workers.
If we get this right, Vahan’s AI Recruiter can become the default way for India’s blue-collar workforce to find jobs — and over time, a gateway to financial services, upskilling, healthcare, government services, and more.
This is an opportunity to build for millions of workers and create a product that can meaningfully improve their lives.
