Product Manager

This role is ideal for experienced product management professionals with a strong background in financial services, particularly within Banks, NBFCs, DFIs, or FinTechs, who have a keen interest in the MSME/SME sector. Candidates should possess a Graduate degree in relevant fields (Finance, Commerce, Economics, Business Administration, Engineering) and ideally a Post-graduate qualification like MBA/PGDM. A minimum of 8 years of hands-on experience in product management, policy, or business development is essential, along with strong technical skills in product design, credit understanding, data analysis, and digital process thinking. The role requires a proactive individual capable of driving end-to-end product success for MSME customers.

Individuals with less than 8 years of relevant experience or without a graduate degree in the specified fields should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment might find the contractual nature (initially 3 years, extendable up to 2 years) a dealbreaker. Candidates who are not comfortable with the compensation structure being performance-linked or who do not meet the age limit of 40 years as of June 30, 2026, are not suitable. Lack of experience in the MSME/SME financial sector or product management within financial institutions could also be a significant disadvantage.

SIDBI, as the Principal Financial Institution for the MSME sector in India, offers a prestigious platform for seasoned professionals. This Specialist Officer role, despite being contractual, provides an opportunity to contribute significantly to India's economic growth through the MSME sector. The high CTC range (₹35-45 lakh per annum) reflects the seniority and impact of the position. While contractual, the role promises significant professional growth and exposure within a key financial development institution, potentially leading to future senior opportunities.
