CPG Data Domain Product Owner

Domain Consulting — CPG Data & Analytics Practice

Owns a CPG client's functional data domain (e.g., PLM, MDM, Demand/Supply, O2C) on behalf of the Data & Analytics consulting practice — translating business process, category, and industry knowledge into the data and product priorities the client actually needs.

This is a domain/functional consulting role: the anchor is business process expertise and stakeholder judgment, with enough fluency in data concepts to brief and direct a technical delivery team. Key Responsibilities

Domain & Process Consulting

Bring deep functional knowledge of the assigned CPG domain (PLM, MDM, Demand/Supply, or O2C) — its business process, industry terminology, and typical pain points — to frame the client's problem correctly before solutioning starts.

Diagnose gaps between the client's current business process and industry-standard/best-practice ways of working; translate these into a prioritized improvement and data agenda.

Own the product vision and roadmap for the domain, defending it against competing client priorities using business rationale, not just delivery capacity.

Business Case & Stakeholder Management

Lead discovery workshops with client business and IT leadership to surface decision drivers, functional requirements, and desired business outcomes.

Build and defend the business case for each initiative — value drivers, adoption risk, and change impact — in language a client sponsor (not a technical audience) will act on.

Federate Global/Local business stakeholders, client IT, and the delivery team into one agreed plan; hold the line on scope and business intent through delivery.

Requirements & Adoption

Translate business needs into explicit functional requirements (process, rules, decision logic, exceptions) for the delivery team to build against — staying accountable for business intent, not the technical spec itself.

Define what 'good' looks like for adoption — usability, trust in the output,



and change-readiness — not just technical acceptance criteria.

Drive adoption through an MVP-first, test-and-learn approach; manage the product/process through its full lifecycle from pilot to scaled rollout.

Industry & Practice Contribution

Bring outside-in perspective — benchmark peer CPG companies and leading practices to keep the client's roadmap current.

Build reusable domain frameworks, playbooks, and points of view that strengthen the practice's credibility in this functional area.

Mentor junior consultants on domain knowledge and client stakeholder management; contribute to proposal/pre-sales narratives in this domain.

Candidate Profile

5+ years in CPG/FMCG business consulting, functional process ownership, or industry practitioner roles (not primarily technical/engineering roles); bachelor's degree required, MBA preferred.

Deep functional expertise in at least one core CPG domain — PLM (ingredients, formulation, BOM, packaging), MDM/master data governance, Demand/Supply Planning (S&OP;/IBP), or O2C — from either industry or consulting experience.

Track record leading business process diagnosis and redesign, and building the case for change with senior client stakeholders.

Comfortable directing (not personally executing) technical/data delivery teams — able to sanity-check a technical approach against business intent without writing specs or code.

Strong workshop facilitation, executive communication, and stakeholder management across Global/Local business and IT.

Familiarity with common enterprise platforms in the domain (e.g., PLM/MDM tools, planning platforms, ERP) at a functional, not configuration, level.

What Sets You Apart

Thinks and speaks like a domain expert first, technologist second — leads with process and business outcome, not tooling.

Builds trust with senior client stakeholders fast; earns the right to challenge their thinking on process and priorities.

Converts ambiguous business pain into a crisp, defensible roadmap without waiting for the technical team to define the problem.
