PMs who ship the roadmap, not just write it.
We place senior product managers across technical products (AI, data, infra), B2B SaaS, and consumer platforms. Calibrated per archetype — the PM for an infra product is a different hire than a PM for a consumer app.
The senior product manager market — the honest version.
Senior PM is one of the most scope-variable titles in tech. A technical PM on a platform product runs architecture reviews and API design conversations. A consumer PM runs user research and experimentation loops. A growth PM runs funnel math and acquisition bets. These are distinct profiles with different pools. Our screens start with archetype alignment at intake and calibrate against it.
What we actually screen for.
Every senior product manager candidate goes through a structured technical screen conducted by an ex-engineer recruiter before you see their profile.
- Product sense — can they reason about trade-offs on a real prompt, or only restate frameworks
- Technical depth — calibrated to role (infra PM vs consumer PM vs AI PM)
- Data fluency — SQL, analytics tools, experimentation design, judgement under ambiguity
- Cross-functional partnership — how they work with eng, design, marketing, and sales
- Writing quality — spec writing, one-pagers, memos — we ask for real samples
- Delivery track record — named features shipped, impact measured, adoption metrics they own

Senior Product Manager hiring — questions we hear.
Yes, explicitly. A technical PM who spent five years on an API product is the wrong shortlist for a consumer onboarding flow, even if both titles say "Senior PM." We calibrate the archetype at intake and source against it.
