Am i in the filed ? And is there a niche here?
I’m currently working in Saudi Arabia at a non-profit/cultural organization, and my role is around membership strategy.
Lately I’ve been wondering if what I’m doing actually falls under Product Management, or if I’m more in the CX/CRM/membership space.
My work involves developing membership tiers and value propositions, looking at member needs and pain points, improving the membership journey and experience, retention/renewals, NPS, engagement, pricing, segmentation, and working with different teams to improve the overall membership product.
So I’m curious:
Would you consider this Product Management experience?
Is membership product management an actual niche?
What about Product Management within non-profits, cultural institutions, or the Saudi/GCC market — is this something worth exploring?
What niche areas do you think would be a good fit for someone with my background?
And if I wanted to move more formally into Product Management, are there any certifications you’d actually recommend?
Would also love to hear from anyone who moved into Product from a non-traditional background. What helped you make the transition? :)
