About the company
Keka is a modern people platform for growing enterprises. HR, payroll and talent live in one core system, so teams spend less time on admin and more time on their people. More than 12,500 companies trust Keka, from fast-growing small businesses to large enterprises and global companies with teams across borders.
We build software the way HR actually works. It feels human, sets up in days instead of months, and has AI built into every part of HR. With customers across India, the US and the Middle East, our Finance and Planning team is growing fast to keep up. That is where this role comes in.
Why is this role unique
- Own a core revenue engine: India & GCC Payroll is used by 5,000+ companies, and every release directly affects people getting paid correctly.
- Get ahead of compliance: tax and statutory rules change constantly across India and the GCC. You’ll build the systems and practices that let us ship changes before customers notice them, not after.
- Build new finance products: grow Expenses and Loans into products customers buy for their own sake, and help shape our next bets, such as equity management.
- Build for multiple countries: design products for several countries’ tax, social-contribution and labour rules at once.
- High ownership, high visibility: work closely with Product leadership, the CPO, Engineering and Design leaders, and enterprise customers.
What you'll do
- Own the India & GCC Payroll roadmap end to end: discovery, prioritisation, delivery and adoption.
- Track tax and statutory changes across India and the GCC. Assess their impact and make sure they ship before their effective dates.
- Drive configurable, scalable statutory logic so new rules become product settings, not engineering projects.
- Own and grow Expenses and Loans, connecting them cleanly to payroll and to customers’ accounting systems.
- Help shape future finance bets such as equity/ESOP management, working with design partners.
- Talk regularly with customers’ finance, payroll and HR teams. Turn their workflows, pain points and compliance needs into clear product priorities.
- Write clear PRDs and acceptance criteria, and work closely with Engineering and Design to ship high-quality, reliable features.
- Work with CX, Implementation, Sales and Support to understand escalations, find root causes and fix recurring themes for good.
- Define success metrics, track adoption and correctness, and keep improving based on data.
What you'll bring
- 3–5 years of experience, with at least 2–3 years as a Product Manager in B2B SaaS.
- Background in fintech, accounting or finance products preferred. Experience in tax, compliance or payroll products is also a strong fit.
- A CA, CPA, CFA or finance degree, or exposure to GCC markets, is a bonus but not required.
