Senior Director, Product Management – Commercial Excellence at Bain & Company.

We are proud to be consistently recognized as one of the world’s best places to work. Bain is the #1 ranked consulting firm on Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work list and has maintained a spot in the top four on the list since 2009. Extraordinary teams are at the heart of our business strategy – bringing together a broad set of backgrounds, cultures, experiences, and skills in a supportive and inclusive work environment.

  • Mentor a team of product managers that lead individual innovations and build a high‑performance culture.
  • Define and execute quarterly objectives and key results, continuously measuring and reporting on progress and direct decisions on the product backlog, positioning, budgeting, pricing, and go‑to‑market strategy.

  • Drive consulting revenue and growth for the Solution.
  • Share and leverage best practices across Bain, avoiding siloed problem solving.

  • Future‑oriented, advocates for the customer, disrupts, and innovates.
  • Collaborative, works with others to drive results and make change happen; well connected with a broad network.
  • Fun, passionate yet humble – someone Bainies and clients enjoy interacting with.
