Who we are looking for
We are now hiring for a specialist in Product Management within our Strategy & Experience practise, based in Saudi Arabia. As a senior member of the team, you are self-sufficient in managing the lifecycle of products and working clients to help them achieve their goals. Your job would be to help our clients create better business outcomes through their digital solutions. You will do this by determining what the right thing to build is and seeing that vision through to delivery.


Product management requires a foundational and unique mindset. You are:

• Trusting: You articulate the product strategy then let others get on with work in their area of expertise and step in only when needed.
• Articulate: you are able to manage diverse stakeholders, lead a constructive debate, and see both sides of an argument.
• Visionary: you act as the leader of an idea and can rally people. You’re focused on the long-term and the big picture.
• Structured: you maintain a critical view on processes and are ready to define new ways of working and refine existing ones.
• Curious: you solve problems using evidence, so you get to the right answer quickly. You question the status quo but leave your ego at the door.
• Driven: you’re a self-starter who drives their own workload and takes the initiative to challenge themselves and others.

Your core client responsibilities will be:

• Define and articulate a clear product strategy: Understand why the product should exist through a value-based approach and align the entire team on this. Iterate when necessary.
• Create and manage healthy roadmaps: Lead a cross-discipline discovery process to build a roadmap based on solving problems. Validate solutions with evidence.
• Support the team to deliver on the roadmaps: Support a cross functional team to deliver the vision creating the user stories and aligning the teams to create and deliver them into the final product.

You’ll do this by:

• Gathering intelligence from the business, Experience team and technology team to inform an understanding of today and aspirations for the future
• Frame problems to understand what the team is trying to achieve (and what they're not)
• Building and successfully communicating a healthy roadmap of what to achieve and when
• Drive the generation of ideas for potential solutions with a cross-functional expert team of strategists, designers and solution architects
• Coordinate and support tests to validate ideas against commercial, design and technology criteria for assessing their suitability
• Anticipate changes in user needs; adapting the product and creating potential product retirement and transitioning plans.
• Manage the full product lifecycle to ensure that, over time, the needs of the product’s users continue to be met and that financial and other KPIs are achieved for the product. As well as delivering product management on behalf of our clients, you'll naturally get involved in helping our clients understand how to do product management successfully.

Other traits that will support you in this role:

• Proven track record of going above and beyond expectations
• Ability to work in a fast-paced team environment
• Ability to build great relationships and actively participate in team culture
• An interest is design thinking and empathy with users
• Analytically minded and curious about technology
• Commercial and able to debate the competing value of different ideas
• Excellent verbal and written communication in English, other languages are a plus
• Minimum 4 years of experience as a product manager or product management consultant
