The AI PM Job Search System: How to Land a $300K+ Role
Here’s the step-by-step process to land an AI PM role
The #1 thing that aspiring AI PMs come to me about?
“I want to break into AI PM but can’t get past the resume screen.”
“I’ve been applying to AI roles for months with no response.”
“How do I stand out when everyone is suddenly pivoting to AI?”
The AI PM job market is the most competitive it’s ever been. Everyone wants in. But most people are doing it wrong.
After coaching 100s of PMs through pivots into AI roles at companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Microsoft, I’ve developed a systematic approach that builds on my proven interview system.
And here’s what people say works best:
“Your AI-specific guidance helped me go from zero AI experience to landing an AI PM offer at Meta in 3 months.”

Should You Even Target AI PM Roles Now?
Before we dive into tactics, let’s do a market reality check.
Supply of AI PMs: Exploding
Everyone is pivoting to AI. Product managers, consultants, engineers, even marketers. The number of people targeting AI PM roles has increased dramatically year over year.

OpenAI grew AI PM team by 150% in 2024-2025
Anthropic increased AI PM hiring by 200%
Google, Microsoft, Meta all have 50+ AI PM openings each
Even traditional tech companies (Uber, Airbnb, Netflix) are building AI PM teams
AI PM roles now represent 20% of all PM openings at top tech companies, up from 10% in 2024, and <2% in 2023.
