Hi Applied to PwC Strategy& for a consultant role and havent heard back from a recuiter however, I received an email for a survey asking what am I looking for in the company in terms of their culture, values etc and what other companies I have applied to. Is this a typical process? Not sure if thats the step 1 in the process or I have been rejected. Any feed back is appreciated. I am graduating from Ohio State with an MBA and have 8 years of experience in corporate accounting and finance.

Write what you do and what is understood from an industry perspective. Write PM.
For a resume and LinkedIn I’d say you can put PM. For a future background check form you can always put the “real” job title. I’ve had discrepancies there without even knowing it and it hasn’t mattered.
I think you could easily explain the discrepency. It all depends on how you word it on your resume. I would put the position you feel like you are in.
I agree with the above & would align your wins and skills to the PM level you are looking for as well.
Yes
I wouldn't change the title, personally. I would focus on ensuring the job description on your resume describes that of a PM - not necessarily listing day-to-day tasks but accomplishments that make it apparent you're acting as a PM. You can also stress this a bit in your cover letter/note to hiring manager. I think most Product hiring managers absolutely know that companies give their PMs different titles/leveling can be different from company to company, there's really not that much of a standard. I'd be more concerned about someone changing their title to prove a point than I would be that on paper they had a non-PM title. I'm assessing their skillset and can tell a PM from a PO pretty easily regardless of the title.
You can always add “PM “ in your summary or as a headline. You can also put Product Owner/PM as your title for the specific work exp so that both are covered. This is ofcourse considering that you truly do have PM experience.
