Product leaders typically encompass various job roles responsible for leading and managing the development and strategy of a company's products or services. However, they tend to fall under several different names and categories, and the associated product salaries will vary significantly depending on the job description. While roles all tend to involve overseeing the entire product lifecycle, from ideation and conceptualisation to launch and ongoing enhancement, they might fall under: Product Lead, Head of Product, Director of Product or, as a more senior executive, Chief of Product Officer (CPO).
When it comes to product recruitment, Consortia has built a strong track record and a clear understanding of the skills and qualifications needed for product leadership roles. Our Product Consultants continuously track market trends, emerging technologies, and shifting skill demands. We also monitor how job roles evolve over time, including the notable rise of product operations as a key function within modern product teams. You can read more about this shift in our blog on product operations as an emerging job role.
Having operated in the product industry for over a decade, Consortia has built a vast network of professionals. Many product managers and product owners placed by us in the past have since grown in their careers and become seasoned product leaders, including CPOs and Heads of Product. This network provides a valuable pool of experienced candidates with whom we have great relationships so we have a more profound knowledge of their aspirations, career progression and personal lives.
Thanks to these relationships developed over the years, Consortia can effectively engage with passive candidates who may not actively seek new opportunities. Our industry connections and trusted brand mean we can attract and present career opportunities to highly qualified candidates who might not be visible through traditional job postings.
Thanks to our unique advantage in sourcing, screening, and placing exceptional product leaders, we are often the first product recruitment agency approached for high-stakes or complex hires.

Encompassing all levels of Product recruitment, we place candidates in scrum master jobs, technical product owner jobs, business analyst jobs, and product owner roles, right up to the Head of Product and CPO.
