Aditi Sharma
Brief · PM
The candidate is a Product Manager with three years of experience building seller-facing tools, preceded by two years managing direct-to-consumer manufacturing and order fulfillment operations. The candidate achieved a high rank due to exceptional hands-on logistics operations experience, having personally managed procurement, packaging, and fulfillment across three product lines, alongside creating an end-to-end order fulfillment workflow from scratch. The candidate's biggest gaps are the absence of sole end-to-end product ownership given their reporting structure under a PM Lead, along with user discovery being limited to marketplace sellers rather than frontline logistics operators.
Probe in interview
- Can you share an example of an operational process or tool you developed to solve a workflow problem that was subsequently adopted and used by peer teams or external partners?
- Can you describe a situation where you had complete, independent ownership over delivery trade-offs and roadmap prioritization without needing alignment or sign-off from a lead product manager?
- Can you walk through a specific instance where you conducted discovery directly on-site with frontline warehouse staff, dispatchers, or drivers to identify operational bottlenecks?

| Criterion | Score | Weight | Points | Evidence | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PM-1 Hands-on logistics operations experience | 5/5 | 30% | 30 | Owned manufacturing coordination, procurement, packaging, and fulfilment across 3 product lines | Demonstrates over 2 years (Jan 2019 – Feb 2021) personally managing manufacturing, packaging, and fulfillment operations. |
| PM-2 Builds from observed pain; peers adopt it | 3/5 | 20% | 12 | Built order fulfilment process from scratch — handled 120–180 orders monthly at peak through a combination of in-house packing and third-party logistics partnerships | Shows one self-built operational process created for own startup use without evidence of wider peer adoption. |
| PM-3 Sole ownership with no layer in between | 3/5 | 20% | 12 | Reports to PM Lead; owns feature discovery and spec, co-owns delivery priority decisions | Owned features inside a broader product area with a PM Lead above them. |
| PM-4 Discovery directly with operators | 3/5 | 15% | 9 | Conducts quarterly seller listening sessions — 15 calls per quarter with sellers of different sizes and categories to understand evolving pain points | Conducted regular user research with marketplace sellers rather than frontline logistics operators. |
| PM-5 Candour: kills, post-mortems, owning what went wrong | 3/5 | 15% | 9 | iterated 3 times in the first month based on seller feedback before stabilising | Mentions fixing problems through post-launch iterations, but names no explicit failure, kill, or personal miss. |

| Criterion | Score | Weight | Points | Evidence | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SPM-1 Hands-on logistics operations experience | 4/5 | 25% | 20 | Co-founded a D2C health food brand; owned manufacturing coordination, procurement, packaging, and fulfilment across 3 product lines | Provides clear, specific evidence of running hands-on logistics and fulfilment operations end-to-end in at least one role. |
| SPM-2 Senior-most owner, no one above them in the function | 4/5 | 25% | 20 | Co-Founder & Operations Lead | Clear evidence of being the senior-most owner of operations with no one above them in at least one role. |
| SPM-3 Turns fixes into standing practice | 3/5 | 20% | 12 | Conducts quarterly seller listening sessions — 15 calls per quarter with sellers of different sizes and categories to understand evolving pain points | Establishes recurring operational cadence, but it remains tied to the candidate's active presence rather than an institutionalised practice running independently. |
| SPM-4 Judgement under pressure, stated plainly | 3/5 | 15% | 9 | handled quality disputes, lead time negotiations, and last-minute reformulations | Shows handling high-pressure operational situations, but does not detail specific hard calls or failures with reasoning. |
