What Does a Product Manager Do?
A product manager (PM) owns the "what" and "why" of a product. They gather user and market insight, define priorities and a roadmap, write clear requirements, and coordinate design, engineering and stakeholders to ship things that matter. They rarely have direct authority, so influence and communication are everything.
Remote PMs live in written documents and async updates, making crisp writing and decision-making core skills.
Key skills
- Prioritisation & roadmapping
- User & market research
- Writing clear specs
- Working with design & engineering
- Data & metrics
- Stakeholder communication
