In-House Product Managers & Product Leaders
We deliver great products while upskilling your team.
On average, it takes 3-9 months to hire the right full-time Product Manager. Meanwhile, key initiatives still need leadership, decisions must be made, and development teams require guidance. We fill this gap, deliver results, and ensure a smooth transition for new hires, setting them up for success.

Frequently Asked Questions
We're usually available to start ASAP, meaning 3-10 business days from the moment our contract is signed. In some cases, it was the next day.
We bill for time and material. Our day rate depends on the seniority of the client-facing representative, contract length (3+ months), allocation (2-4 days/week), volume, and complexity. We're happy to extend an offer once we understand the scope of work and your needs better.
ASAP Availability: Hiring a full-time employee takes 3-9 months from publishing the job to their first day at your company. We manage our “bus factor” and ensure service continuation without losing knowledge or momentum.
Flexibility without liability: A full-time employee comes with a lot of responsibility and liability. We're a service provider with 4 weeks' notice for a smooth handover if your plans change.
Mitigate Opportunity cost: A development team in Europe costs €500,000-€1,000,000/year with overhead. The opportunity cost from not launching critical initiatives the right way can far exceed our day rate.
Talented and ambitious Product Managers join us to accelerate their careers and see behind the curtain of Europe's best product companies, instead of stagnating in one company or sector. With us, they work on a wide range of B2C and B2B products across many industries and with different company sizes.
We take vacations seriously and also allow our PMs to recharge via paid sabbaticals and optional 4-day work weeks. All of our PMs are accompanied by an Associate PM, complimentary for the client, who can step up to cover short vacations and sick leave.
At Product People, we minimize the new PM onboarding overhead by hiring the best Product Managers and training them to serve as interim PMs. This is achieved by implementing two core elements in our organization: a rigorous hiring process and weekly internal training.
For parental or extended sick leave covers (3-9 months), to bridge gaps with permanent positions while you're searching for the right fit, or to tackle important and urgent initiatives that your product team doesn't have the capacity for.
Yes, we are happy to fill in Product Leadership roles (CPO, Director of Product, VP Product, Head of Product, Lead PM) on an interim basis to support your company leaders taking leave or while you are recruiting.
We can help upskill your team through structured workshops, Product Management boot camps, and individual coaching programs.
