You’re Hired! Advice for PMs From an Executive Search Firm Managing Director

If you’re looking to level up your PM career, you’ve come to the right place.

As product managers, we do the work to be prepared for many outcomes. So, why wouldn’t we put in the work when it comes to getting ready for job interviews? Experienced PMs are an elusive resource many organizations are after. That’s why it’s so important to know just what hiring managers are looking for when it comes time for PMs to explore our next opportunities.

We had the opportunity to talk with Executive Search Firm Managing Director, Monica Bua, and ask her the things that stand out to her when she’s recruiting for a product position. She shared her biggest takeaways from the hiring process, what hiring managers are looking for and a few tips to stand out as you look to advance your PM career.

Here’s an excerpt from the latter:

“As we seek to advance our careers, we can apply a product mindset to ourselves as a product with unique expertise. We can A/B test the work environments and roles that best suit us, market ourselves to earn those next jobs, and sell ourselves to hiring managers. To earn that next product management dream job, we need to excel at those things.

“The next role isn’t always going to come from the company at which we currently work. The opportunity for growth won’t always be there, or we may just come to realize we’re a better fit elsewhere. In this eBook, we will share experiences and best practices from some incredible product leaders on how to know when it’s time for your next challenge at the Senior PM level or above, whether that’s at your own company or elsewhere.”
