Product Management

Whose Baby Is It?

The product manager in the room better stand up and scream, “It’s my baby!”

If you have never been a product manager, that may not make sense to you but at the heart of every successful product manager is a passion that drives a company’s product or service from idea to development and through launch and measurement as if that product or service was “their baby” and their responsibility.

Product management requires a unique set of cross-functional skills; skills that Calliope can help any company identify as they seek to add experienced product managers. Whether an associate or senior, upstream or down, domestic or global product manager is needed to manage an Agile or more traditional stage-gate or waterfall process, Calliope will work with you to understand your needs and then deliver top product manager candidates. If you need someone to come in and lead your entire product management organization, we can help with that too!

Calliope understands that no two companies seem to manage products the same way and that experiences can be vastly different from company to company; at least it used to be more that way in the past. It used to be that companies had neither a formal structure for product management nor standardized product management development programs. Product managers often backed into the role from another filed or discipline. This has changed over the years with companies gaining a greater understanding of the importance of product management and implementing more standard product management processes and frameworks. Major colleges and universities are now offering coursework, certificates, and degrees in product management as well.

With  years of successful experience working with product managers, Calliope Search knows the importance hiring and continuing to develop strong product managers with the leadership, decision making, and cross-functional teaming is for the overall success of an organization.
