Tom, Product Manager: Ready for the Next Big Step?

Tom has built great products. He wants to move into a Head of Product or even VP Product role, maybe in a fast-scaling global SaaS company.
But what does the market really expect at that level?

Enter the Career Assessment: a full diagnostic of Tom’s fit, gaps, and opportunities, based on real data from current job trends.

1. Executive summary: Your profile at a glance

What Tom learned:

• He’s strong on product vision, user-centric design, and delivery at scale.
• But he lacks depth in AI product strategy, VC-level fundraising exposure, and global growth leadership.
  
  

Before:

"I’ve worked on multiple successful launches in B2B SaaS."

After (framed post-assessment):

"I’ve led product growth from MVP to $5M ARR, but I now need to develop strategic fluency in AI-driven product planning and late-stage scale-up management."

Insight:
The assessment doesn’t just reflect back where you are, it sharpens where you need to go.

2. Personalized skill gap analysis

Missing Skills for Target Roles (e.g. VP Product / CPO):

Emerging Must-Haves:

• GenAI-integrated product workflows
• Remote-first leadership and cross-functional org design
• Experience partnering with CTOs and growth execs
  
  

Outdated/Irrelevant Experience Noted:

• On-premises architecture
• Feature-based product thinking (vs. outcome-driven)
  
  

3. Market tension

Tom discovered that:

• Locally (Brussels): VP-level product roles are scarce, mostly early-stage.
• Globally (Remote/US/EU): Highly selective roles, often requiring fundraising literacy, AI product leadership, and 0-1 scaling track records.
  
  

Estimated Opportunity Pool:

~150–200 global VP/CPO roles active at any time
~70% demand proven AI thinking and strategic fundraising exposure

4. Salary expectations

For Tom’s goals:

What changed for Tom:
Instead of aiming low due to local norms, he started planning for global roles with a salary reframe: Your ceiling is defined by your market, not your city.

5. Job Search timeline

Reality Check:

Going global = longer timeline, more filters, but 3–5x more opportunity.

6. Career actions & training plan

Courses to Close the Gap:

• AI Product Strategy : Section4, Reforge, or Coursera
• Data-Driven Growth : Emeritus or GrowthX
• Global Fundraising Fluency : Wharton, Seedcamp, or startup accelerators
  
  

Certifications:

• MIT Sloan: AI Strategy Exec Program
• INSEAD: Product Strategy for Scale

7. Visibility strategy 

Key Optimization Tips for Tom:

• Publish content on AI + product + market fit
• Collaborate with tech leads or engineers to demonstrate cross-functional thinking
• Speak on product podcasts or panels to build thought leadership
• Be visible on founder platforms (like Future, AngelList, or On Deck)
  
  

Tom’s First Move:
He launched a LinkedIn post on "The Hidden Risk in Ignoring AI as a Product Manager", and it hit 5,000+ views.

Outcome: From uncertainty to strategic roadmap

The Career Assessment gave Tom:

✅ Clarity on which roles he could reach
✅ Visibility into what’s holding him back
