- Tonight's talk is “ [TITLE] ” with [NAME]. Welcome, [NAME].
- Script: Show of hands - how many are less than 2 yrs into PM; 3-7 years; 7+ years. Great! How many ICs and how many Managers? How many of you have a career plan? So, my talk today was inspired by a question that was posed in one of my social media groups. It read - Any tips from the group on recruiting very senior (Staff/Principal) PMs? I have a very senior IC role open -- highly strategic, tons of impact and broad area of ownership -- but am struggling with recruiting pipeline. Not surprisingly, most folks at that level are looking to manage... which is *possible* here, but probably ~1yr out. Have any of you hit similar roadblocks? Any levels/companies/profiles have you targeted successfully? This got me thinking. As a senior PM, as you consider your career growth options, do you struggle with how or where to take the next step?
- As a PM – one has to learn how to work with Engineering, Design and Analytics. How do you also work with Sales, Marketing, Telesales, Professional Services. As a manager you are also looking for managing and mentoring experiences. Much like a project plan, a personal life plan, a meal-plan, a career plan is key. A career plan is also living plan and needs constant updating as our career journey takes turns in the most unexpected and interesting ways.
- Job What i learnt My career plan
- 1)Our new customers needed to adopt. Our sales teams were still struggling to sell 2)And then switched back and became an IC.
- 1)I worked more with Sales than I had ever done before. 2)In the middle of it, covered for my PMM partner who went on maternity leave. Her team was global. 3)Promoted to a Sr D as an IC
- 4)Back to running a product team. Focused on product externalization building upon my learnings as a PMM and Sales partner
