Here's the latest Product Management job market report for August 2026. The market posted a second straight month of growth, though the headline number is stronger than what happened underneath it.

Product Manager jobs worldwide are UP 2.3%, matching July's 2.3% rise, with 25,905 open listings. Volume is up 19% year over year, but still sits 0.2% below the six month average.

🌍 Regional Trends

Growth was thin on the ground this month. EEA led with a 1.7% increase and LATAM edged up 0.4%, while every other market lost ground. Canada fell 9.1%, the United States 2.7%, the Middle East 2.5%, and APAC 1.2%. The United Kingdom was essentially flat at -0.2%. Worth watching: the global figure rose while most individual regions slipped, so this month's gain is narrower than it looks.

👩🏽‍💼 Leveling Trends

Associate PM listings jumped 20%, the biggest single move at any level, though they remain down 3.4% over two months and roughly flat over six. PM roles grew 3.5% and are up 17% year over year. Senior PM slipped 3.1% after a strong run, but is still up 8.8% over two months and 25% year over year. Leadership roles rose 15% and are up 6.4% over six months, extending the long term strength at the top of the ladder.

👨🏻‍💻 Work Environment Trends

On-site listings led with 4.6% growth, Hybrid added 3.5%, and Remote fell 3.4%. The longer view tells the real story. Hybrid is up 8.2% over six months and 36% year over year, while Remote is down 7.7% over six months despite a 32% year over year gain. Flexible work is consolidating around Hybrid rather than fully Remote.

Here's the latest Product Management job market report for June 2026. After May’s modest rebound, the market cooled slightly. The headline move is small, but the mix underneath it is more interesting — especially hybrid’s continued strength on a year-over-year basis and the continued resilience in senior roles.

Product Manager jobs worldwide are DOWN 0.6%. That brings the global total to 24,754 open roles, up 7.4% year-over-year.

🌍 Regional trends

The UK grew again (+4.4% MoM) and remains one of the strongest YoY performers (+26% YoY). The US pulled back (-3.1% MoM) after last month’s strength but is still +17% YoY. EEA declined (-2.6% MoM) and is now -7.4% YoY. APAC was essentially flat (-0.6% MoM) but remains up +7.7% YoY. Canada dipped slightly (-1.5% MoM) but is still up +32% YoY. LATAM fell -4.4% MoM (still +9.5% YoY). The Middle East saw the largest decline (-7.7% MoM) and is now -13% YoY.

👩🏽‍💼 Leveling trends

Every level declined month-over-month: Associate PM (-3.0%), PM (-0.2%), Senior PM (-1.7%), and leadership (-3.6%). Despite the pullback, leadership remains the strongest YoY growth story (+15% YoY), with Senior PM roles up +9.5% YoY.

👨🏻‍💻 Work environment trends

On-site was nearly flat (-0.4% MoM, +2% YoY). Hybrid declined -6.2% MoM but remains up +32% YoY. Remote fell -5.7% MoM but is still +2% YoY.

📣 If you’re actively interviewing right now: are you seeing hybrid roles becoming the default in your market, or is it still mostly on-site?

It's a bit late this month as I was working with my team (and Claude) to improve the visualizations and backend.

I may consider hosting this in the future if that's something people would find valuable (leave a comment below letting me know if so).
