The successful candidate must demonstrate how they use these tools beyond basic research or drafting to build repeatable workflows, create working prototypes, develop and refine requirements, analyze complex information, automate product tasks, test ideas, and materially accelerate product delivery. Experience using automation and Model Context Protocol (MCP)-enabled integrations is strongly valued. The role translates consulting business needs into product priorities, owns the product backlog and business acceptance criteria, partners with engineering to deliver releases, and works with change/adoption teams to drive utilization and value realization.
The Product Manager owns the "what," "why," and business value of assigned digital products or product families. This role is accountable for establishing product vision, defining roadmaps, prioritizing investments, evaluating business outcomes, and ensuring products effectively support the needs of Consulting professionals and clients.

· Identify opportunities to embed AI, automation, knowledge retrieval, and agentic experiences into assigned products where they improve user outcomes, delivery efficiency, or measurable business value.
· Partner with engineering and platform teams to identify where MCP servers, tools, and connectors can securely expose enterprise systems, product data, documents, workflows, or operational context to AI agents.
· Rapidly prototype product concepts, workflows, prompts, wireframes, or proof-of-concept experiences to validate assumptions before committing engineering capacity.
· Prepare Product Council recommendations for investment, scaling, sustainment, and retirement decisions.
