The hiring problem
Why product management hiring is harder than it looks
"An effective Product Manager should be providing your CPO more time. This is hard to assess, determining who can walk the walk, not just talk the talk. We work on assessing Product Manager's in how they handle ambiguity, how they earn trust with engineers without authority, and whether they can own a complex problem end to end.
We want to see whether they can connect their decisions back to the company’s north star and commercial objectives, ensuring product moves the business forward."
A PM suited to a product-led growth motion in a B2B SaaS business needs a fundamentally different profile from a PM managing a two-sided marketplace with supplier and buyer economics, or a PM in an intelligence platform where the product is the data itself. Most agencies treat these as the same search. We do not.
​
We work on understanding the brief before we go to market - understanding your commercial model, the specific problems the hire needs to solve in months one through twelve, and where the previous hire succeeded or failed. This shapes who we look for.
SaaS and AI
Product-led growth
PLG motions, self-serve, freemium conversion, usage-based models. PMs who understand how product drives acquisition and retention - not just delivery.​​​​
​
​
Intelligence Platforms
Building from proprietary data
Businesses building new commercial propositions from proprietary data. PMs who understand data monetisation, API-led distribution, and third-party commercialisation of data assets.
​
Enterprise
Sales-led to product-led
Established businesses transitioning to product-led growth. PMs who navigate governance, manage upwards into non-product leadership, and translate constraints into strategy.

Looking to hire product manager's, owners or more senior team members?
​
Want to know what salary bandings professionals expect?
​
Need experienced Headhunters to help you find top talent?
​
Salary bandings have become broader and less reliable as a standalone benchmark. Job titles are increasingly used interchangeably and some businesses offer senior titles without the scope or compensation to match. Company size, funding stage, maturity, sector and location all drive significant variation within every band.
​​
Company stage
The right PM for where you are now
The right PM profile depends as much on where your business is as on what the role involves. We advise on profile before we source.
Pre-seed / Series A
First PM hire
Ambiguity tolerance, no-ego execution, 0-to-1 experience. The profile is completely different from a PM joining an established function. We help you define what this hire needs to own before we start sourcing.
​​​​​​
Series B / C
Building the function
When does a Senior PM become a Head of Product? When does a Head of Product become a VP Product? We advise on structure during the briefing and source accordingly.
​​​
​
Enterprise
Sales-led to product-led
Established organisations transitioning to product-led growth need PMs who can navigate governance, manage upwards, and translate organisational constraints into product strategy without losing momentum.
​​​
Industries we hire for
Specialist Product Management recruitment across Digital and Tech
Our product recruitment practice has built active talent pools across a broad range of digital and technology sectors. While some businesses begin their search looking for a general IT recruitment agency for product manager roles, or a tech staffing agency with product management specialism, what we offer is a dedicated product management consultancy approach - one that understands how the product challenge differs by sector, not just by seniority.
​
SaaS, Fintech, and RegTech
​
The complexity of modern SaaS, financial technology and regulated markets requires product professionals who understand more than feature delivery. We place product managers who are genuinely comfortable with the technical and regulatory environments they operate in.
​
-
RegTech and FinTech: product managers familiar with regulated markets, compliance-heavy roadmaps, secure financial integrations and the constraints of FCA-regulated product development.
-
HealthTech and Life Sciences: PMs who can navigate patient data security, clinical workflow products and the intersection of user-centred design with regulatory requirement.
-
Cybersecurity: specialists who understand fraud detection, threat intelligence products and the commercial logic of security platforms
-
AdTech: product professionals experienced in real-time bidding platforms, performance optimisation products and the technical complexity of digital and programmatic advertising.
-
MarTech: product leaders who can manage complex B2B sales cycles, integrate marketing intelligence platforms and translate data signals into product decisions.
-
​
Digital, eCommerce and emerging technology
For businesses where the interface is the product and commercial performance is measured in conversion, engagement and retention, we source candidates who understand how product decisions interact directly with trading outcomes.
​
-
eCommerce and online marketplaces: senior product managers experienced in multi-sided platforms, complex logistics integrations, trading performance and marketplace economics.
-
Content, streaming and digital broadcast: product professionals with a deep understanding of streaming technologies, digital rights management and global audience scaling.
-
AI and machine learning: we track product talent in the AI space specifically - candidates who can translate machine learning capabilities into commercially viable features and data-driven product experiences.
-
Intelligence platforms and data commercialisation: PMs who understand how to build products where proprietary data is the commercial asset - API-led distribution, data marketplace models and third-party data monetisation.
-
Telco and digital agencies: supporting both internal product functions within telecommunications businesses and client-facing digital agencies requiring high-velocity product manager recruitment.
Orchestrating the Product Lifecycle
Modern product management jobs require a deep grasp of varied frameworks. As one of the leading product manager recruitment agencies, we source candidates who excel at:
​
-
Operating within Ambiguity: The company, business objectives, customers needs are constantly evolving, requiring Product Managers to align shifting priorities with commercial outcomes.
-
Determining Roadmaps: Aligning long-term goals with stakeholder expectations and market intelligence.
-
MVP Planning & Execution: Taking complete ownership of MVP definition, from initial concept to launch execution.
