Jas Shah's Hot Take - Product Management isn't as Glamorous as People Think (with Jas Shah, Fintech Product Consultant)


Listen Later

Jas Shah is a fintech product consultant based in London who helps small startups and management services organizations build winning products, whilst keeping his pulse on the fintech scene.

His hot take? That product management is one of the least glamorous functions in an organisation. It's often portrayed as a sexy role where you're the "CEO of the product" with autonomy and responsibility, but for most product managers, the role is arduous and grating, involving invisible work like coordinating between teams, dealing with competing interests, and working with less authority than expected.

Find Jas on LinkedIn or check out his newsletter, Fintech R&R.
