The product leadership job search is completely different from the IC PM search. Colin Lernell (and 3x Sr Dir of Product) and I talked to: • 7 external executive recruiters • 2 internal big tech executive recruiters • 2 VC talent teams • And 10 CPOs and VPs To learn these 5 things that you need to know: 1. Less and less jobs get listed Till the Group PM and Principal PM level, 90%+ of jobs are still listed on job boards. But as you move even higher, those numbers start dropping considerably: • 50-70% of (Sr) Director and Head Of roles • 20-50% of SVP and VP roles • <20% of top exec roles This means that you have to change your strategy entirely. FROM: Reaching out to listed jobs TO: Finding unlisted jobs, and also becoming a magnet for one's you don't 2. There's a huge difference between early product leaders and top execs One of the biggest misconceptions is all levels of the product leadership job search are the same. But it's critical whether you are the top, number 2, number 3, or just nth product leader. 3. The process takes longer While an average principal or Group PM role can get filled in 1 month, more senior roles take a longer time. Companies might even take up to 6 months to hire a top product executive, even with the help of executive search firms and VCs. 4. Retained search firms and VCs drive placement at the top The two channels that drive the most placements for the most senior roles are not applications or internal recruiters. Rather, they're personas most PMs aren't used to: retained search firms and VCs. So, how do you engage with these folks? • Retained search firms: you want to build lifelong relationships with individuals at these firms, helping them before they help you • VCs: you want to keep active relationships with top VC partners in your industry niche and the top VC firms 5. Compensation goes hyperbolic at the top And it's worth going after these gated roles (if you're qualified). Because the compensation goes hyperbolic. It's that equity part, especially. Top executives might have cash comp of 2x Group PMs but equity worth 20x. SUMMARY: 1. Less and less jobs get unlisted 2. There's a huge difference between early product leader and top executive 3. The process takes longer 4. Retained search firms drive placement at the top 5. Compensation goes hyperbolic at the top To go deeper, check out our 20K+ word guide on all the details of how to execute on these learnings: https://lnkd.in/gk2q2T8h

Are you a product leader new to your job and ... crushing it? PSA: Evangelize the fk out of your early accomplishments. I'm supporting a handful of Product Leaders in new roles who are driving a huge impact. But they're not talking about it. They're missing a key opportunity to build their visibility and elevate their team. Here are some ideas to get you started: 1️⃣ Build an internal comms plan to make sure all your new stakeholders know -what you built and why it matters. More ideas on that here > https://lnkd.in/d_qEt6nY 2️⃣ Make your work measurable even if you don't have instrumentation setup. I love an efficiency metric (i.e. we reduced this from 5 steps to 2, saving our CX team X hours a day) 3️⃣ Bring your functional partners along to tell the story. Give design a big vision to ideate on and get engineering thinking about the broader technical goals.
