Hi there,

thank you for your question and congrats on getting contacted for this. 

From my perspective, product management can encompass a variety of areas such as:
 

• Product lifecycle planning
• Strategic Marketing / Customer Needs
• Pricing Management
• Production planning/scheduling (with Supply Chain/Manufacturing)
• etc

It is not unusual that consulting firms want to build up their competencies and functional expertise in certain areas by hiring staff with respective experience. 

Especially when they can sell projects in this area so they need delivery capabilities or if they are trying to branch into a new area and need appropriate resources for credibility. 

If you are generally interested, I would say it won't hurt to set up a call with this recruiter to learn more about the specifics (just check her/his LinkedIn profile to double-check that they are legit)

Good luck

Hi there, 

Congrats on getting approached, first of all!

Based on the description, it sounds like this is a consultant role in some Practice or Function within MBB. That means that if you get hired in there, most of the projects that you'll be doing will be ‘product-management’ related.

Best,

Cristian

Hi there,

The other answers have the covered. This is likely to be a focus on a product/specialization/tool.

Have a call with them to find out!

Interesting! MBB firms have started to acquire companies that do more delivery focused work - for example McKinsey now has a product design arm. I suspect it’s a role in one of these parts of the organization. 

You have to check with the headhunter and try to get more information. Sometimes headhunters don't really know much about the role they are “selling” and give out wrong information…
