How many product manager jobs are open?
2,016 product manager jobs were open at 421 of the 863 companies we track on November 15, 2026, and 505 of them could be done remotely. That is 25%, close to twice the 13.7% remote share across all 80,127 jobs on the same career pages.
A "product manager job" here is any job ad with "product manager" or "product management" in the title, as long as it is not a product marketing job. "Senior Product Manager" counts, and so does "Product Management Intern." A product manager decides what a team builds next and why, then works with engineers and designers to get it shipped. We left out titles like "Head of Product" and "Product Owner" because they are a different level or a different kind of job. There were 127 of the first and 27 of the second.
For a sense of size, the same companies listed 7,790 jobs with "software engineer" in the title. So there is about one product manager opening for every four software engineer openings.
Are product manager jobs growing?
A little, and a bit faster than other jobs. At the 431 companies we tracked on all six dates below, product manager postings went from 1,250 on October 15 to 1,285 on November 15, up 2.8%. Every other job at those companies grew 1.5% in the same month.
| Date | Product manager jobs | All other jobs |
|---|---|---|
| October 15 | 1,250 | 36,986 |
| October 22 | 1,292 | 37,171 |
| October 29 | 1,269 | 37,308 |
| November 5 | 1,292 | 37,400 |
| November 12 | 1,288 | 37,498 |
| November 15 | 1,285 | 37,528 |

The line is almost flat after the first week, so I would call this steady demand, not a hiring rush. Some companies did move a lot. Elastic went from 18 product manager openings to 28, Coinbase from 11 to 20 and Zillow from 11 to 19. Crypto.com went the other way, from 18 to 7, and Instacart from 14 to 6. A shorter list can mean jobs were filled or paused, so it does not tell you a company is cutting staff.
This fits a bigger count from earlier in the year. In March 2026, Lenny Rachitsky's newsletter, using data from the job tracker TrueUp, found more than 7,300 open product manager roles at over 9,000 tech companies worldwide. He wrote that this was the most since 2022 and about 75% above the low point in early 2023.
Which companies are hiring product managers?
Veeva Systems lists the most, with 94, but that number needs a footnote. Veeva often posts the same job in several cities, so its 94 ads cover only 39 different titles. Mastercard is next with 65, and more of its product jobs are in India (18) than in the United States (16).
| Company | Product manager job ads |
|---|---|
| Veeva Systems | 94 |
| Mastercard | 65 |
| Oracle | 48 |
| NVIDIA | 40 |
| Stripe | 39 |
| ServiceNow | 37 |
| Databricks | 32 |
| Hewlett Packard Enterprise | 30 |
| Elastic | 28 |
| Anduril | 24 |

Most companies only need one or two. 142 of the 421 companies had a single product manager opening.
Two kinds of product job stand out in the titles. 295 of the 2,016 (14.6%) mention AI, machine learning, LLMs or agents, and NVIDIA, ServiceNow and the customer-service AI company Sierra have the most of those. Another 94 say "technical product manager," a job for someone who can talk through how a system is built with engineers. If you came from engineering, our article on who is hiring AI engineers shows which of the same companies are building AI teams.
Most of these jobs want experience. 1,375 of the titles (68%) say senior, staff, lead, principal, group, director or head.
Why are so many product manager jobs remote?
Part of the answer is Veeva, which marks 83 of its 94 product manager ads as remote. Take Veeva out and product manager jobs are still 22.0% remote, against 12.9% for all jobs outside Veeva, so the gap does not come from one company.
In the United States the share is a little higher. 362 of the 1,381 US product manager jobs are remote, which is 26.2%. After Veeva, the companies with the most remote product manager ads are Coinbase (19), Affirm (18), Zillow (18), ServiceNow (16) and ClickHouse (15). Our list of companies hiring remote workers covers every job family, not only product.
The jobs that are not remote sit in a few places. San Francisco has 341 and New York City 292, so those two cities hold close to one in three product manager jobs. Seattle has 87, Santa Clara 81, London 62, Toronto 58 and Boston 57. By country, 68.5% are in the United States, then Canada with 147 and the United Kingdom with 107.
What do product manager jobs pay?
281 of the 1,381 US jobs list a yearly pay range, which is about one in five. In the typical ad, the range ran from $190,800 to $268,000. Those are the medians of the low and high ends, so half of the ads started below $190,800.
The lowest range we found was $96,000 to $192,000, for a Product Manager II on the financial crime team at Kraken, a crypto exchange. The highest was $401,000 to $530,000, for a product manager in financial services at OpenAI.
These numbers run high for two reasons. Most companies that show pay are startups and big software firms in San Francisco, New York and Seattle, where pay is high. Some states also make companies post a range, and those states are where most of these jobs are. Our article on pay transparency laws by state lists which ones.
Are there entry-level product manager jobs?
Very few. About 60 of the 2,016 jobs (3%) are internships, new-grad jobs or associate product manager jobs. An associate product manager, or APM, is the usual first product job, and some big companies run a program that hires a group of them each year.
Many of the openings are MBA internships for summer 2027. NVIDIA alone has five, and Adobe, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, ServiceNow and Duolingo have more. For people without an MBA, the full-time entry jobs include Stripe's Product Manager New Grad Accelerator, Databricks' Associate Product Manager for 2027 grads, Roblox's Associate Product Manager early career job in San Mateo, and associate product manager jobs at Saronic in Austin and EliseAI in New York and San Francisco. Our entry-level tech jobs article explains how we count junior roles across all job types.
What this count can and can't show
We count job ads on the career pages of 863 companies, most of them in software, finance and AI. Banks, stores and hospitals hire product managers too, and most of them are not in our list. We count postings, not hires. One job posted in five cities shows up as five ads, as Veeva's list shows, and a filled job can stay up for weeks. A title search also misses product jobs with other names and catches a few that are not product work.
Of the 2,016 product manager jobs open on November 15, 165 went up in the last 30 days, which is 8.2%, almost the same as the 8.3% for every job we track.
