Global Product Manager

Boston Consulting Group (BCG) is a global management consulting firm focused on strategy, transformation, and technology. BCG partners with leaders in business and society to tackle complex challenges and drive impact.

This role is responsible for creating collaborative relationships and assisting with managing complex, cross‑platform development requirements. You will work across key projects, leveraging collaborative decision making, comprehensive problem solving, and stakeholder management to deliver clear technical requirements, business value judgments, and trade‑off assessments. The work spans the full development lifecycle—from design and requirements discovery through development, testing, deployment, and ongoing end‑user support. While some projects follow formal dev‑cycles, others will be smaller, agile, less formal structures. Success requires flexibility, adaptability, self‑drive, and the ability to work effectively as both a team member and an independent contributor.

Responsibilities Would Include:

• Eliciting and documenting technical and business requirements for complex projects, translating stakeholder needs into well‑defined user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Understanding multiple data sources and underlying data models, and translating source‑to‑target mappings into scalable, practical solutions.
• Assessing gaps between prioritized requirements and current capabilities; generating solution options and selecting the preferred path using agreed design principles.
• Developing comprehensive implementation plans and delivering output as defined in each project's goals and objectives.
• Performing thorough testing and validation throughout the development lifecycle, conducting root‑cause analysis when issues arise.
• Acting as a functional subject‑matter expert, partnering with technical teams to troubleshoot issues and redesign processes.
• Curating and refining the product backlog; contributing to the development and tracking of the technical roadmap.
• Developing training materials and delivering end‑user training.

YOU'RE GOOD AT:

• Problem solving and analytical thinking. Analyzing and breaking down complex problem statements, structuring hypotheses, building thoughtful analyses, and bringing clarity to undefined problems.
• Natural curiosity to understand how things work and why—desire to comprehend root causes when issues arise.
• Flexibility to work through details with keen attention to accuracy and interdependencies; comfortable with ambiguity in iterative environments.
• Identifying and staying current on new technologies and trends relevant to your domain.
• Communication, interpersonal, and teaming skills. Works positively and collaboratively with others; builds strong relationships across functions, offices, and regions.
• Adapts style to changing situations and audiences with tact, poise, and patience; demonstrates persistence to drive change and a positive, productive work environment.
• Actively listens and asks meaningful, relevant questions; partners effectively with remote teammates across time zones.
• Work management, organization, and planning. Performs successfully in a fast‑paced, intellectually intense, service‑oriented environment; strong organizational and process management skills.
• Contributes to multiple workstreams simultaneously and prioritizes efforts; demonstrates ability to drive projects to scheduled completion.
• Proven experience working within Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, or similar); comfortable with sprint ceremonies, backlog management, and iterative delivery.

What You'll Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business, or a related technical field.
• 3–5+ years of experience in business analysis or product management, with a track record of collecting and defining technical requirements for complex projects in an Agile environment.
• Ability to write and interpret SQL; experience navigating databases and data models, with or without documentation.
• Strong experience with enterprise software and/or technology platforms; familiarity with cloud‑based technologies and integration patterns is a plus.
• Sound analytical skills combined with excellent written and oral communication; ability to convey technical concepts clearly to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Proven ability to work effectively in a global environment with stakeholders at all levels; experience in professional services or other highly matrixed organizations preferred.

Who You'll Work With:

You will interact extensively with a diverse range of stakeholders from across the business, both geographically and functionally. You will partner closely with Product Owners, engineering and data teams, and business leaders to translate complex needs into actionable requirements. You will also collaborate broadly with other Agile squads and IT teams, as well as external vendors where relevant, making cross‑functional relationship management a key part of this role.
