Job Description
**Executive Director – Product Consulting** | Hybrid - Pune | Leadership - Full-time | INR 10.4-33.7 LPA
**About the role:**
- Position within Product Management Consulting, under the Management Consulting vertical
- Level: senior level
- Reports to the functional head for Product Management Consulting
**What you'll do:**
- Handle core product management consulting activities on a day-to-day basis
- Use Client Advisory regularly as part of core deliverables
- Work closely with adjacent teams to align priorities
- Track progress against agreed timelines and escalate issues proactively
**What you'll need:**
- Client Advisory
- Business Case Development
- Stakeholder Management
- Process Improvement
- Problem Structuring
- Product Management Consulting
- B.Tech + MBA
- 10+ years of relevant experience
**Good to know:**
- The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage.
- Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy. Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership. The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function.
- Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone. There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls.
- New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables. High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months. Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval.
- References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process. The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding. Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round.
- Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability. The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions.
- Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week. Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week. Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction.
- No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions. Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role.
- Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable. Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns.
- Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings.
- Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management.
- A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work. The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions.
