Product Management

We recruit from across the digital sector - finding everyone from your next Junior Product Owner to your Directors of Product Management, as well as building entire Product Management functions from scratch.

We listen to understand the different flavours of Product Management.

We’re specialists. We know the difference between Product Owners, Technical Product Manages, and Product Directors. When we talk to candidates we are forensic in our questioning to understand what they did, their deliverables and their impact on their bottom line.

We’re focused on quality, not quantity.

At Zebra People we are measured by quality of service: CV to interview and interview to placement. We’re not rated by phone times or speculative CV sends, and candidates are never crowbarred into unsuitable roles. If we give you three CVs, you’ll make an offer.

We're an active player in the Product Management community.

We’re founding members of Now Next Product, the fastest growing community of Product Managers in the UK. Our role goes beyond recruitment, we’re committed to supporting the industry itself.

FAQs

When should I be looking for a new role in Product Management?

Sometimes it’s hard to know whether it’s time to leave a role. These are a few signs that it might be time to look for something new:

The feel of the role is stagnated. You aren’t excited anymore. There are 100s of roles out there, and if you’re not being challenged, you should bring this to your manager. Their response will show you where your future stands with this current organisation.

You’re looking for more flexibility. Most roles nowadays do have some degree of hybrid working. The flexibility allows you to plan your week in and out of work – meaning you can do more for yourself.

Your role is no longer challenging. Maybe you’ve been in your current role for several years and worked your way through the business, there might not be a lot that you can get involved in from a learning perspective.. but are you sharing this knowledge with junior members of staff? If this is something that you want to and aren’t given the opportunity to manage, you should mention this.

You lack a mentor. Career progression is easy with a little direction. Find out what your employer’s long term plan is for you, and the business. If it’s limited, it’s a good time to look at companies that can offer training and development.

Your workplace is toxic. We’ve all had a boss we don’t see eye to eye with. But there is no room for discrimination/ bullying or inequality in any workplace. You are at work most of your day, and no company is worth staying at to destroy your mental health.

What’s the best way to demonstrate my impact on product success in an interview?

To effectively showcase your impact, use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure examples that highlight your role in driving product success. Describe specific challenges you faced (Situation), what you were responsible for achieving (Task), the actions you took to resolve the challenges or fulfill the objectives (Action), and the measurable outcomes (Result) that demonstrate your impact.

Focus on metrics such as revenue growth, user acquisition, retention rates, or engagement improvements. For further detail, our article on the interview preparation goes a bit deeper.
