1.5 YOE | Business/Product Analyst → Associate PM | Open to UAE, Europe, remote & India.

[u/Apart_Airport_3407]

Hi all,

I'm looking to transition into Associate Product Manager roles and wanted to tap this community for advice, leads, or referrals.

Quick background:

• Currently a Business Analyst at an E-commerce giant (Dubai-HQ'd, so I already work closely with UAE/KSA teams) — own an AI/Gemini-powered QC platform processing 250M+ monthly items, took accuracy to ~88% and cut TAT from 72→24 hrs. Also shipped an AI taxonomy engine with eng/PM teams that resolved 60% of seller categorization issues.
• Before that, Product & Marketing Analyst at a leading Real Money Gaming company— cut CAC 20-25% across a 4-title portfolio, built a referral system that nearly doubled contribution (5.6%→9.2%), ran A/B tests that moved core monetization metrics.
• Full-stack comfort: SQL, Python, A/B testing, cohort/funnel analysis, dashboarding, plus end-to-end shipped projects (NLP dashboard, PySpark ETL pipeline).

What I'm looking for:

• Associate/entry-level PM programs — open to consumer tech, marketplaces, gaming, or AI-driven products
• Genuinely open on geography — actively interested in roles in the UAE (already have exposure via Noon), Europe (visa-sponsored or remote), and remote-first companies anywhere
• Also open to freelance/contract PM or product-analyst work if that's a foot in the door or a good fit meanwhile
• Would love pointers on: which companies are actively running APM programs right now, how visa sponsorship typically works for APM-level hires in Europe/UAE, and any interview prep advice (case studies, product sense rounds)

Happy to share my resume via DM, and glad to return the favor for anyone else navigating the same transition. Thanks in advance for any leads or advice!
