Free skills gap assessment
Product managers decide what gets built and why. They talk to customers, study the data, set priorities, write clear requirements and work closely with engineers and designers until the feature ships, then measure whether it worked.
It suits people who are curious, organised and comfortable making calls without being anyone's boss. Many come from analysis, engineering, design or customer-facing roles; basic SQL and comfort with metrics help a lot.
First roles are associate product manager or product analyst. From there people move to product manager, senior product manager and product leadership.

A guide, not a pass mark. Your Skills Gap Assessment shows how ready you are for each level and what to work on.
You answer yes or no to short statements about what you have actually done. Each statement belongs to one of 9 skill areas, and each area is weighted by how often employers ask for it, so the score reflects what jobs need.
