Technical Product Manager Job 2026 — InfluenConnect Islamabad | SaaS Platform Delivery + Automation | English & Chinese Required Full Time NEW

💡 6 Practical Tips Before You Apply

• The Chinese language requirement is the most selective filter in this entire posting — treat it as the primary screening criterion. Pakistan has a relatively small pool of professionals who are both technically qualified for a TPM role AND genuinely fluent in Chinese. If you are one of them, this requirement works strongly in your favor by narrowing the competitive field significantly. Make your Chinese proficiency visible and specific in your application: describe how you’ve used it professionally (product documentation, partner calls, user research, technical discussions) rather than just listing it as a skill.
• “Ideally comfortable implementing features independently” signals a trajectory — ask where the role is headed during your interview. InfluenConnect explicitly mentions they are “reducing reliance on external developers” and want someone who can eventually implement features independently. This suggests the role is evolving from a pure coordination TPM toward a more hands-on technical PM. If you have any development background (even basic — HTML/CSS, Python scripting, API calls via tools like Postman), mention this. If you don’t, be prepared to discuss your comfort level with becoming more technically hands-on over time.
• Looker Studio for dashboards and Zapier/Airtable for automation — if you’ve built with these tools, show examples rather than just listing them. The internal systems pillar runs on Airtable, Zapier, and Looker Studio. If you have built actual Airtable bases with automation rules, created Zapier multi-step workflows, or set up Looker Studio report pages, describe specific projects — what problem it solved, how you structured it, and the outcome. Tool lists on CVs are common; concrete implementation examples are rare and memorable.
• Marketplace platform experience is listed as a “plus value” — and InfluenConnect is itself a marketplace. Influencer marketing platforms are a type of two-sided marketplace (brands on one side, creators/influencers on the other). If you have product experience with any marketplace, platform, or two-sided network business — e-commerce, gig platforms, app stores, affiliate networks — this directly maps to InfluenConnect’s model and should be described in marketplace terms, not just as “SaaS product management.”
• The reporting line (Managing Director) in a startup context means high visibility but also a less structured process — calibrate accordingly. Reporting directly to the MD in what appears to be an early-to-mid-stage startup means your decisions will have immediate organizational impact, but you’ll also need to create your own process rigor rather than inheriting established frameworks. Your application and interview should signal that you’re comfortable with both — ownership and structure-building simultaneously.
• Creator onboarding and affiliate tracking are explicitly named features — research what these look like in leading influencer marketing platforms before your interview. The posting names specific platform features: “discovery tools, UX improvements, creator onboarding, affiliate tracking.” Before your interview, look at how comparable influencer marketing platforms (AspireIQ, Grin, Impact, Partnerize) handle these features. Being able to speak to creator onboarding flows or affiliate tracking mechanisms with specific reference to how they’ve been implemented elsewhere shows product market awareness beyond the standard “I know how to write specs” claim.
