Leading at Cognizant
This is a leadership role at Cognizant, where how you lead matters as much as what you deliver. Leadership here transcends titles — it's reflected in the actions that drive our business strategy, inspire teams around our future, uphold our values, and build a culture where everyone can thrive.
About Cognizant Consulting
Cognizant Consulting is more than Cognizant’s consulting practice. We are a global community of 5,000+ experts dedicated to helping clients reimagine their business.

About the role
As a Senior Consulting Manager, Product Manager, Transportation, Logistics & Supply Chain, you will make an impact by leading product strategy and delivery across complex transportation, logistics, and supply chain environments. You will combine industry expertise, client advisory, and hands-on product ownership to translate business priorities into scalable digital products and measurable operational outcomes.
You will be a valued member of the Manufacturing, Logistics, Energy and Utilities Consulting team and work collaboratively with client leaders, business stakeholders, product teams, engineering teams, operations teams, and other Cognizant practices.
In this role, you will:
- Set the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for transportation, logistics, and supply chain products, aligned to client and customer needs.
- Lead the product lifecycle end-to-end — from discovery through launch and ongoing optimization — to improve quality, speed, and business value.
- Own the product backlog, turning strategic priorities and customer insights into clear, sprint-ready user stories.
- Advise clients on product strategy, trade-offs, and emerging opportunities across transportation, warehousing, freight, and supply chain operations.
- Set testing strategies, acceptance criteria, and quality standards in partnership with engineering and operations teams.
- Build performance dashboards to track adoption, reliability, efficiency, and ROI.
- Lead cross-functional teams and run workshops that build alignment and speed up decision-making.
- Support proposal and business-development work that grows our transportation and supply chain practice.
- Coach product owners and consulting teams to build strong, consistent product management practices.
- Model the Cognizant Way to Lead — building trust, setting direction, and delivering results with a strong client focus.

- Strong communication, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills.
- Alignment with the Cognizant Way to Lead and our values — Work as One, Dare to Innovate, Raise the Bar, Do the Right Thing, and Own It.
