84% of open roles state yearsThis week's read
This week there are 1,048 open Product Marketing Manager roles in the US, spread across 700 companies. New postings are up 14% over the last 30 days compared with the 30 days before. A typical role stays open for 45 days before it's filled or pulled.
This is not an easy market to break into. The median minimum experience asked for is 7 years, and 21% of postings want 10 years or more. Only 3% of roles are labeled junior, so most of the hiring is aimed at people who already have a track record in the field.
Pay is visible in 60% of postings, and the typical range across all levels is $146k to $200k. At the Director level, where 114 roles are open, the typical range runs $185k to $256k. At mid level, with 232 roles open, it's $125k to $175k.
31% of open roles sit at employers with recent H-1B visa filings. Among the top hirers, Amazon, NVIDIA, JPMorganChase, Meta, Applied Materials, and HP are all on that sponsor list.
AI and machine learning show up in 31% of postings, well ahead of any other skill, including Salesforce at 6% and CRM at 4%. Only 18% of roles are remote, so most of this hiring expects you in an office or hybrid.

Momentum
New PMM roles each week
Last 30 days: 466 new roles, against 408 the 30 days before (+14%). Each week counts the same companies, and a role counts as new only in the week it was posted, so a careers site we start reading never shows up as growth.
