Job Description
## Director – Product Strategy & Advisory
**Department:** Product Management Consulting | **Industry:** Management Consulting
**Location:** Gurugram | **Job Type:** Hybrid | **CTC:** INR 53.1-96.7 LPA
### Role Overview
We are looking to onboard a Director – Product Strategy & Advisory to strengthen our Product Management Consulting function within Management Consulting. The role is positioned at the senior level and reports into the broader Product Management Consulting charter.
### Key Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end delivery of tasks related to product management consulting.
- Apply working knowledge of Problem Structuring and Client Advisory to daily execution.
- Coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders within Management Consulting.
- Maintain documentation and reporting as required by the team lead.
- Flag risks and blockers early rather than at review checkpoints.
### Requirements
- PGDM or equivalent qualification.
- 13 years of relevant experience (senior level).
- Working proficiency in: Problem Structuring, Client Advisory, Process Improvement, Business Case Development, Product Management Consulting, Data-driven Recommendations.
### Additional Notes
The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager. Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process. The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding. Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable. The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions. Mornings are usually spent on planning and status reviews, while the rest of the day is given over to hands-on delivery and problem-solving. Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held. Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability. Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy. Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round. Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band. There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls. Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns. Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay. References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process. The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week. Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval. New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables. Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months. Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role. No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions.
