We support equal opportunities and flexible work arrangements.

Role Overview

This exceptional leadership position bridges PSYKHE's Strategy & Innovation and Product Management areas. You will oversee projects that unify strategic insight with product delivery, nurture consultant development in both fields, and cultivate integrated workflows that differentiate our services.

Your strategic responsibilities feature business model innovation, market entry strategies, AI-focused strategy, organizational transformation, and foresight exercises. On the product side, tasks include formulating product vision, roadmap creation, go-to-market strategy, and ensuring products provide true value. Frequently, you will lead both strategic and product facets concurrently, guiding clients from initial strategy through to product implementation.

This role suits individuals who challenge the conventional separation between strategy and execution, valuing product thinking in strategic design and strategic clarity in product development.

• Collaborate closely with Product Design teams to align strategy and product with user experience.
• Manage coordination among business leaders, product teams, and technology limitations.
• Coach and develop consultants in both Strategy & Innovation and Product Management areas.
• Build multidisciplinary team members skilled across domains while enabling them to deepen expertise.
• Promote collaboration between strategists and product managers to dismantle silos.
• Foster an inclusive and diverse team culture to enrich project outcomes.
• Design methodologies that tighten the link between strategy and product delivery.
• Develop intellectual assets such as future forecasting, strategy-to-product frameworks, product-led growth models, and AI product strategy.
• Support business growth by identifying opportunities harnessing our combined approach.
• Initiate practices to enhance skills across the team and represent the integrated model externally through thought leadership.

Qualifications and Experience

• At least 10 years of cumulative experience spanning strategy consulting and product management.

• Strong familiarity with the Asia-Pacific business landscape and market dynamics.
