What does the day in the life of a product manager look like?
Every day is different, depending on the company's needs. There's a lot of logistics and coordination between the different teams. Your responsibility is to take a product from ideation to market.
I work on a curriculum product. My job involves coordinating between different teams to ensure that the curriculum can be sold to schools. I work with graphic designers and tech people who are involved in AI. I don't know anything about AI, but I still support them.
I'm writing emails, coordinating coaching, and managing. Pretty much anything involved with taking this product to market, I have my hands in.
