It’s June and the temperatures are rising this side of the equator.
Plus, for many parts of the world, job listings for PMs are rising, too.
Job listings are up
This week I published the latest PM job listing numbers and was pleased to report the highest number of open jobs since September 2024, and the second highest volume since a year ago.
While the numbers aren’t up everywhere, it seems we’re no longer in a free fall.
Where jobs are up
Europe, Middle East, Canada, and the UK are all up, between 24-58%, from their low point of the last 12 months. The European Economic Area is performing the strongest, just 1% shy of it’s high point over the last year.
The Middle East and Canada both recorded their 12-month high point in June.
Where jobs are down
APAC job numbers in June are more than 35% lower than their high point the last 12 months, and are just 1% shy of the low point at the start of 2025. Latin America has also dropped far from their high point, by more than 56%.
The largest market, the United States, is also far from it’s high point of 10.8k job listings, clocking in at 8.6k in June.

Amazon’s Product Operating Model(s)
This week I gave a talk on the different product operating models I experienced while working at Amazon. It’s the deepest I’ve gone into talking about what it was like working there over 8 years, in 3 different business units, and in 2 different headquarter offices in 2 countries.
You can watch the replay on YouTube, along with other talks I've given.
I’m working on something new
And finally, I will be announcing something new to all of you that I think you’re really going to love. You’ll hear it here first.
As I hope you know by now, I put a lot of effort into helping the broader PM community by providing free content, masterclasses, and exclusive resources.
I deeply understand just how challenging it is to navigate a career in Product Management—and I want to help you in even more ways.

That’s all for this week.
I’m wishing you a wonderful Summer ahead.
