About the Company

Wadhwani AI Global (WAIG) is a non-profit AI research and product organisation building AI for social impact across the Global South, outside India. We work with governments, multilateral institutions, foundations, and on-the-ground partners to deploy AI solutions in agriculture, health, and education at population scale. With deepening operations in Rwanda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and across the African continent, we are entering a new phase of growth — building product capability that matches the scale and ambition of our partnerships.

This is a senior leadership role responsible for the AI products WAIG builds, deploys, and scales across health, education, agriculture, and other social impact verticals.

2. Delivery & Execution

Own end-to-end delivery of AI products from concept through deployment and scale

Run a disciplined product lifecycle: hypothesis → MVP → field evaluation → iteration → scale
Ensure timely, high-quality delivery against grant commitments and donor milestones

3. Team Leadership

Build and lead the product organisation — recruit, mentor, and grow product talent across geographies
Foster a strong product culture: user-obsessed, evidence-driven, technically rigorous
Partner closely with the Technology team on engineering capacity, infrastructure, and ML delivery

4. External Engagement

Represent WAIG's product capability in conversations with governments (Ministry of ICT Rwanda, Smart Africa, ministries of health and education across Africa), multilateral institutions (UNICEF, UNDP, World Bank), and donors (Gates Foundation, others)
Lead product portions of major proposals and donor pitches; contribute to fundraising in partnership with the Growth lead
Build relationships with peer organisations, research labs, and AI-for-good ecosystems

5. Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with senior leadership on overall organisational strategy and delivery commitments

Support the broader leadership team in operationalising the WAIG strategy

Experience

15+ years of experience in AI product management
Track record of building and shipping AI/ML products at scale — in real-world deployment
contexts, not pure consumer or pure research
Direct experience working with governments on technology deployments
Experience working with or in Africa, the Global South, or comparable contexts strongly preferred

Capability

Strong technical depth — able to engage credibly with ML engineers, evaluate technical trade-offs, and shape solution architecture
Outstanding strategic and structured thinking — able to set priorities, kill the wrong projects, and drive focus
Excellent communicator — equally comfortable in a Minister's office, a donor pitch, a field site, and a code review

Disposition

Mission-aligned — genuinely motivated by AI for social impact, not just by the title or the geography
