In most fields, there is a clear path on how to enter the industry. For product managers, the route isn’t so clear. There is no silver bullet, and there can be a winding path that will bring you through your career.
In this talk we will hear from a panel of PMs on how they got their start. We’ll explore:
- The definition of Product Management
- Becoming a PM as a student
- Becoming a PM by joining an early stage startup
- Becoming a PM through adjacent roles (Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Engineering/Developer)
- Skills that demonstrate PM capabilities
- How to build the skills required to demonstrate PM capabilities
Our speakers are:
- Keilin Morrison, Jr. Product Manager @ ATB Financial
- Emily Marino, Product Manager @ QuoteToMe
- Paul Sumner, Product Manager @ Punchcard
- Kate Moores Hermes, Product Manager @ Jobber
