EXECUTIVE CAREER ADVISORY & JOB SEARCH COACHING
You Speak the Language of Business and Technology. Your Career Should Too.
The product discipline has matured. So has the competition for senior roles. What worked in 2019 won’t land you a Director of Product seat today.
“As a result of working with Nick, I was able to land four different offers. Having crafted my message and experience the way I did after discussing it with Nick, I was able to pivot to the type of role within the industry that I wanted. I think my experience with Nick has been very professional with a personal touch.”
Shan Siddiqui | Sr. Product Manager – Fortune 500 Healthcare
WHO THIS ADVISORY IS FOR
For the Product Professional Who Is Ready to Own More in Their Role and Their Career.
From a Product Owner pivoting to PM to a Director of Product eyeing a VP seat, this advisory gives you the strategy and substance to make the move deliberately.
Product Owner → Product Manager
Making the transition from execution to strategy. You know the backlog. Now you need to show hiring teams you own the roadmap, the stakeholders, and the P&L conversation.
Senior PM → Director of Product
You've shipped product. You've led squads. Now you're targeting a seat where you set strategy across multiple product lines. The interview shifts, and so does everything else.
PM in a Difficult Search
Been searching for months. Applying but not landing. Getting interviews but not offers. You have the background, you need the strategy, and the interview mechanics that actually work at this level.
THE CHALLENGES PRODUCT OWNERS/MANAGERS FACE
The Product Market Is Competitive. Most Candidates Are Applying the Same Way.
Product has become one of the most competitive disciplines in the market. More people have the title. More people have the credentials. And the companies that matter are increasingly specific about what they need and increasingly quick to filter out candidates who can’t speak to it.
The most common pattern: a strong Product professional who gets interviews but can’t close them. They know their product. They don’t know how to position themselves. Their resume reads like a feature log. Their STAR stories sound like status reports.
The second pattern: a Product Owner who has done PM-level work for years but can’t get past the title screen because the resume doesn’t reflect reality.
“I had been laid off and searching on my own for seven months without success. Nick helped improve all aspects of my job search, especially my interview skills. His strategy and tactical execution were tailored specifically to me.
I landed a higher-level role as Sr. Product Manager within four weeks of our last session.”
Athar Husain | Sr. IT Product Manager | SAFe® Certified Product Owner/Product Manager
★ Result: Higher-level role secured | 4 weeks from final session to offer
WHAT THE ADVISORY DELIVERS
From Product Professional to Market-Ready Leader.
1
Product Positioning
Resume and LinkedIn rebuilt to reflect your scope, not just your title. Your product thinking, business acumen, and cross-functional impact made visible and legible to non-product executives.
2
Interview Architecture
STAR stories that show product judgment, not just delivery. The ability to talk through roadmap decisions, trade-offs, and stakeholder navigation in a way that lands at every interview.
3
Strategic Job Search
How to go from reactive applicant to active market player. Nick's network activation strategies and unconventional outreach methods work especially well for product roles.
4
Salary & Title Negotiation
Product compensation varies wildly by company stage, industry, and scope. This advisory teaches you how to read the range, set the anchor, and negotiate toward the top.
“I have worked with three other individuals in this same space over the course of probably the last 10 years, and by far, a lot of it was a very prescriptive approach.
With Nick, it was the approach for me, what’s going to work best for my current situation here and now. Five interviews. Five job offers. Can’t beat it.
“I didn’t feel like I was just a number. I felt like I was a person.”
Matthew J. Hartz | Managing Director | Leading Data Strategy & Digital Transformation
★ Result: 5 interviews → 5 job offers | Compensation doubled | Personalized approach unlocked the market
