Best job boards for product managers

General job sites

1. LinkedIn

If you have started your job search, chances are you have a LinkedIn profile. But just having a profile isn’t enough. You need to make sure that it is as strong as it can be and includes your past experiences, projects, and links to your portfolio, as well as websites and apps that you have worked on. Their job board is robust, but you might find some difficulty if you search “product manager” but you are just trying to break into product management. The positions that come up will likely require too much experience. Try searching “junior product manager,” “associate product manager,” or adding “entry level” to your searches so you can find positions that match your background.

For more information on how to use LinkedIn to find a job, check out our guide.

2. Google Jobs

Google gathers all of the job postings on the Internet and now houses them in their Google Jobs section of the site. All you need to do is type “product manager jobs” into your Google search bar to access it. It’s surprisingly good! They automatically add your current location to the job search, so be aware if you are looking for roles elsewhere.

3. Indeed

Indeed is one of the largest job sites, so it is not as specialized as some of the other product-specific boards. They gather postings from all across the Internet. You can search by proximity to a city, salary estimate, job type (full-time, part-time, internship, contract, etc), salary range, company, and experience level.

Startups

1. AngelList

For product managers who are only interested in working at startups, AngelList is a good place to look. Candidates make a profile and then they can review positions at companies that are hiring. They basically “like” openings that they are interested in and sometimes add a message to the hiring manager. On the company-side, they also review candidates and “like” the ones that they are interested in. This is often a good place for product managers as you can get in early.

2. VentureLoop

VentureLoop is a leading job board focused on venture-backed companies. Their product management jobs are in a category with engineering positions, but their positions are typically pretty interesting for product managers. Plus, many of the job postings found on VentureLoop cannot be found on any other job board, so it is worth a look.

3. Hacker News

Product managers can do great at early stage startups because they have the opportunity to really make a difference in their product. If you are only interested in startups that have been part of Y Combinator, their job board is a good place to look.
