About Upcar

Upcar is a peer-to-peer car company building three product lines on one platform — Upcar Rental (live, Turo competitor), Upcar Buy/Sell (P2P used-car marketplace), and Private Rents (B2B SaaS for host-operators). We move fast, ship relentlessly, and obsess over driver and host experience.

Role Overview

We're hiring a Product Lead to anchor our Hyderabad office and own the Upcar product end-to-end. You'll partner directly with the founder, drive the product roadmap, lead our India team, and ship features that move real metrics. This is a senior role for someone who wants ownership, speed, and outsized impact at an early-stage startup.

What You'll Do

  • Own the Upcar product roadmap end-to-end — discovery, specs, prioritization, launch, iteration
  • Lead the India team across engineering, design, and QA — set the bar on quality and velocity
  • Translate founder vision and customer signal into shippable product bets
  • Run weekly sprint planning, standups, and reviews across the India team
  • Partner with the US team on launches, growth experiments, and cross-timezone delivery
  • Dive deep into data — funnels, retention, GMV — and turn it into product decisions
  • Talk to hosts and guests directly; bring their voice into every roadmap call

What We're Looking For

  • Proven PM experience shipping consumer or marketplace products
  • Track record of leading cross-functional teams (eng + design + QA)
  • Strong product sense — you can spot the right bet and the wrong one fast
  • Comfortable with data — SQL, analytics dashboards, funnel analysis
  • Excellent written and spoken English; able to overlap with US Pacific hours when needed
  • Startup mindset — high ownership, bias to action, low tolerance for slowness

What You'll Gain

  • Direct partnership with the founder
  • Equity in a fast-growing mobility startup
  • Lead an in-office team in Hyderabad with real autonomy
  • Hands-on impact across rental, marketplace, and SaaS surfaces
  • Top-tier benefits and unlimited PTO
