This question is another way of asking you to describe the duties of a product specialist. Interviewers will ask this question to gain a better understanding of what you feel this role involves, have you describe your expertise and the experience you have, and learn what you can contribute to the organization if hired. The easiest way to prepare for this question is to thoroughly review the job posting before the interview and, if possible, speak with either current or former product specialists from the organization.

"I am often asked at social occasions what I do. Suppose the person to whom I'm speaking is not familiar with this role. In that case, I tell them that a product specialist is responsible for guiding a product through the development cycle from conception to release. I participate in the initial product specification and design process, work with the engineering team to create the product, collaborate with the people who will produce it, and help the marketing and sales teams identify their customers and present the product to them in a way that generates interest and the desire to purchase it."
