Associate Product Management Consultant (f/m/x)

Product People is the premier destination for Product Management services in Europe, specializing in helping companies tackle strategic and executional challenges. The Associate Product Management Consultant will support senior consultants in managing client projects, driving cross-functional initiatives, and crafting compelling product narratives.

Responsibilities:

• Solve problems for clients and for Product People. You’ll prioritise, zoom in and out, and make a real impact. You bring clarity to chaos and orchestrate seamless execution. You’ll manage discovery and delivery for three streams at once, internally and externally. You're comfortable with both strategy and hands-on, unglamorous work, and you know when to go deep or stay broad
• Work with strong personalities and diverse teams. You adapt to communication styles and integrate quickly, feeling like part of the team within days, not weeks. People enjoy working with you, even when you push back. You're approachable, constructive, and always professional, even when challenging unrealistic demands
• Support Senior Product Management Consultants who serve as Interims. Our clients are usually post-product market-fit from series B to publicly listed. You’ll be supporting the client-facing PMs who drive complex cross-functional initiatives in B2C or B2B products. It can be anything from setting and reaching quarterly OKRs at a scale-up to Continuous Discovery/Jobs To Be Done (JTBD) or A/B tests elsewhere
• Craft and communicate compelling product narratives. For every feature or capability, you can answer: • What job/problem does this solve? • For whom? • How big is the market/problem? • What does success look like? • Why does solving this matter? • You’ll share and help shape strategic context with clients’ CPOs, VPs, Directors, or Heads of Product
• Rinse and repeat. Go on a new mission with a new client or in a new team, new domain, new product, or initiative every 3-6 months. Continue sharpening your edge and actively helping Product People's internal initiatives

• You're relentlessly polite, cheerfully persistent, and immune to drama
• You're the teammate clients want back, and your ex-colleagues leave cushy roles to work with you again
• You can drop into an engineer's Slack thread, jump to an exec pitch, and then sketch out a roadmap, all before your second coffee
• You roll with it, find the signal in the noise, and make magic across shifting priorities
• You know how to create boundaries that support effective collaboration
• You get how businesses grow, where money comes from, and which bets matter
• You speak in impact, not just input
• You know how to chase the outcome, measure it, and ship value without gold-plating the roadmap
