PMM interview coaching

The average PMM job listing results in:

Four hundred applications. Six interviews. One offer.

I have been the hiring manager making that decision for 28 years.

I have built product marketing teams at AWS, Microsoft, Twitter, and numerous startups. And I literally wrote the book on technical marketing. I have hired hundreds of product marketers at AWS, Microsoft, Twitter, and numerous startups. I have been a Bar Raiser and As Appropriate interviewer for eight years and a VP or CMO for fourteen years.

These days, there's a ton of anxiety around PMM interviews, and job-seeking, in general. With good reason. I want to help you level-up your interview skills so you can land the job you want.

With this interview coaching, I will help you prepare for your PMM interviews so you can gain the confidence you need to succeed

I have a day job. I am doing this on the side because I see real anxiety and confusion among my fellow PMMs. Slots are limited, but I want to help, especially those just starting their careers.

What we cover

Positioning and messaging

GTM strategy cases

Take-home presentations

Behavioral rounds

This is not mock interview theater.

We will identify your strengths and weaknesses. I will give you my feedback and assessment right away, and also provide you with a written report that includes the feedback I would write in Ashby to the interviewing team, my unvarnished assessment of your performance during the interview, and suggestions for things you can do to level-up.

It will be uncomfortable at times, but discomfort yields performance.
