What you'll do
- Support Senior Product Management Consultants who serve as Interims on client projects
- Manage discovery and delivery for three streams at once, internally and externally
- Prioritise, zoom in and out, and bring clarity to chaos while orchestrating seamless execution
- Support client-facing PMs driving complex cross-functional initiatives in B2C or B2B products, from setting and reaching quarterly OKRs at a scale-up to Continuous Discovery/Jobs To Be Done (JTBD) or A/B tests
- Craft and communicate compelling product narratives for every feature or capability: what job/problem it solves, for whom, how big the market/problem is, what success looks like, and why solving it matters
- Share and help shape strategic context with clients' CPOs, VPs, Directors, or Heads of Product
- Go on a new mission with a new client or in a new team, domain, product, or initiative every 3-6 months
- Actively help Product People's internal initiatives
What we're looking for
- You fix the mess and thrive in chaos, leaving behind clarity, structure, and joyful spreadsheets
- Optimism as an operating system: stay calm during meltdowns and deliver difficult truths with a smile and a plan; relentlessly polite, cheerfully persistent, immune to drama
- Driven, collaborative, and charmingly direct: speak human, not jargon; give and take feedback kindly
- Context switch like it's a superpower: drop into an engineer's Slack thread, jump to an exec pitch, and sketch out a roadmap; roll with shifting priorities and create boundaries that support effective collaboration
- Think commercially: understand how businesses grow, where money comes from, and which bets matter; speak in impact, measure outcomes, and ship value without gold-plating the roadmap
- Adapt to communication styles and integrate quickly, feeling like part of the team within days
- Approachable, constructive, and professional, even when challenging unrealistic demands
- Comfortable with both strategy and hands-on, unglamorous work, and know when to go deep or stay broad
