Skills we vet for product managers
We hire product managers who can write a sharp spec, say no with evidence and earn engineers' trust. We screen on shipped outcomes, not frameworks.
| Skill | How we evidence it |
|---|---|
| Discovery | How they validated a problem before building |
| Prioritisation | A roadmap trade-off and how they defended it |
| Technical fluency | Depth appropriate to the product: APIs, data or platform |
| Metrics | A metric they moved and how they knew it was causal |
| Communication | Written spec sample or a live walk-through |

Hiring product managers: questions
Do you hire PMs without an engineering background?
Yes, if the role allows it. We screen technical fluency to the level your product needs and say so on the dossier.
Can you hire product owners for GCCs?
Yes. GCC product roles often sit closer to delivery; we calibrate on that in the brief.
