Implementation Coach - Product Development & Procurement

You will work directly with client leaders and front-line operators on topics where implementation issues are important and where driving changes are critical to the successful realization of organizational goals.

You will spend about 80% of your time working at the client location as part of consulting teams, helping to solve complex problems in the domains of product development and procurement.

This work includes, but is not limited to, end-to-end margin transformation, product- and organization-level EBITDA improvement, rationalizing product design based on competitive teardown analysis and customer insights and building and implementing sourcing strategies. You will also help client teams estimate product should-costs using clean sheet costing, enabling the design of low-cost products.

Your work may extend to new product development, where you will focus on reducing development time, cost, and improving quality attributes. You may also conduct surveys to identify improvement areas within organizations to support effective and efficient product development, ultimately helping clients build sustainable R&D capabilities. Other focus areas may include design-to-cost, design-to-value, global sourcing, commodity strategy, cost structure optimization, clean-sheet costing, supplier development, negotiation, strategic sourcing, cost-saving idea identification and leverage, cost reduction, spend analysis, and procurement transformation.

You will be based in one of our India offices (Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Gurgaon or Mumbai) as part of product development & procurement hub. You will work directly with client leaders and front-line operators on topics where implementation issues are important and where driving changes are critical to successful realization of organizational goals. You will be staffed to projects or engagements, working closely with clients.
