SUMMARY
GCM Grosvenor is seeking a Product Engineer with professional investment experience to join the Technology Product & Strategy team supporting our Investments organization.
This role combines the business partnership of a strong Business Analyst with hands-on solution delivery. The Product Engineer takes prioritized opportunities and strategic direction from the Product Manager, then works directly with investment professionals to understand the detailed requirements and shape practical solutions. They build and iterate on those solutions using the firm's AI-enabled tools and technology platform, while partnering with Engineering to identify and enhance reusable platform capabilities that better support business needs.
The initial focus will be on partnering across our five investment strategy groups on AI-augmented research solutions then moving into portfolio construction analytics and modeling.
As an onsite/hybrid employee, you are expected to be in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday.
WHO YOU ARE
- You've spent time inside investment research, portfolio management, or a related function – you know what a diligence process or portfolio review actually looks like, not just the vocabulary.
- Manual, repetitive process work – disconnected spreadsheets, manual data pulls, copy-paste – bugs you enough that you go build a better way instead of just enduring it.
- You've used whatever tools you had access to automate or improve your own work and want to do more of it.
- You're excited about applying AI and modern tooling to real investment problems and want hands-on time building with it – no prior experience with specific tools required, just the interest to learn fast.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Partner with investment professionals to surface real business problems and translate priorities into solutions – feeding findings back to the Product Manager to sharpen direction as understanding deepens.
- Build and iterate fast using the firm's AI-enabled tooling, favoring reusable platform capabilities over custom engineering – and know when a pilot needs production rigor and hand it to Engineering.
- Spot the patterns worth turning into reusable platform capabilities.
- Own solutions through rollout: stakeholder coordination, training, adoption.
EXPERIENCE
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent.
- 2+ years in investment management, investment research, portfolio management, or a related investment role.
It is expected that the hourly range for this Chicago based position will be $77-90/hour. Actual hourly range may vary based on factors such as individual's experience, skills, and qualifications for the role.

Product Consultant Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a product consultant in Illinois?
Most product consultants in Illinois enter the field with a bachelor's degree in business, computer science, or information systems, then build experience in product management, business analysis, or technical consulting. Illinois does not require a state-issued license for this role. Earning a vendor certification from Salesforce, SAP, or Microsoft significantly strengthens candidacy with the large technology and consulting firms headquartered in the Chicago area.
Which companies hire product consultants in Illinois?
Companies currently hiring product consultants in Illinois include John Deere, EY, and Google, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Illinois's concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters and major consulting firms in the Chicago metro makes it one of the more active hiring markets for this role in the region.
Which Illinois cities have the most product consultant jobs?
Chicago, Moline, and Illinois City account for the largest share of product consultant openings in Illinois. Chicago drives the bulk of demand through its deep concentration of enterprise technology companies, management consulting firms, and financial institutions, while suburban markets like Naperville and Schaumburg add openings tied to the large corporate campuses located in Chicago's western corridor.
Are there remote product consultant jobs in Illinois?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 40% of product consultant openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting how much of the work involves software configuration, client calls, and documentation rather than on-site presence. Client-facing implementation phases and discovery workshops are the parts of the role most likely to require in-person attendance.
How can I get hired as a product consultant in Illinois with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving laterally from a business analyst, solutions analyst, or customer success role at a technology company or consulting firm in Chicago. Large Illinois employers such as Accenture, Deloitte, and Salesforce run associate or analyst programs that place candidates with business or technical degrees into product-adjacent tracks. Building a portfolio around a vendor certification, such as Salesforce Administrator or SAP Certified Associate, gives candidates without direct consulting experience a concrete credential that hiring managers in Illinois recognize.
Where can I find and apply to product consultant jobs in Illinois?
You can find and apply to product consultant jobs in Illinois on Migrate Mate, which lists current Illinois openings across the Chicago metro and surrounding suburbs. Find roles that fit your experience and apply directly to each one.
