1. What skills and qualities do I have as a professional that are important for a PM role? Which of them are not visible through my resume? --> One key skills that I believe I have worked on myself is influencing without authority. While working in a bank, for launching a new UPI flow for loan repayment, I had to convince multiple stakeholders (engineers, compliance teams, regulators like RBI (Reserve Bank of India), NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India)), despite not having direct authority over them. I achieved this by leveraging data insights to show regulatory, business impact and user drop-offs, ensuring alignment across teams." 2. What values do I have as a person that make me a great fit for PM roles? --> One of my key values I believe is obsession for solving customer pain points. In my current company, I witnessed that around 20% of BNPL users dropped off in the KYC step. Upon investigating the drop-off reasons, it was figured out that the KYC process was long. I worked with the external stakeholders & pushed for experimenting on Digilocker based KYC which led to >30% reduction in the drop-offs. 3. What can I learn about the company/role/hiring manager, that will help me make my application better? How can I find this information? --> By visiting platforms like Linkedin (for enquiring about the manager) & the company portal (for enquiring about the role), I can be able to align my resume for the job role. I recently researched about Amazon's Pay job post on SPM (Consumer Lending). Considering my experience on Financing and Payments, I considered myself to be a strong alignment with this role wherein I tried to align my resume as per the job requirement. 4. What unique experiences do I have that will make me stand out? --> Well, being a Fintech PM, apart from product strategy, I have hands-on experience working with regulators & compliance bodies like NPCI & RBI. This is a critical skill for any fintech PM because regulatory changes can disrupt entire payment flows. In my previous company, RBI introduced transaction caps in wallets. Instead of waiting for official guidelines, I proactively designed a risk-based user segmentation model, introduced new transaction caps, ensuring compliance without losing high frequency transacting users.
