A Day In The Life Of A Senior Product Manager At A Fortune 100 Entertainment Company
A senior product manager's day is a blend of meetings, primarily with east coast and European teams, and focused work on "writing requirements, managing tickets," and ensuring clear specifications for product development. This involves a substantial amount of communication, as Jon notes, ending the day with "ketchup on emails" and addressing Slack messages.

What does a day in the life of a product manager look like?
My day is balanced between meetings and tasks like writing requirements and managing tickets. Because I work with the East Coast and Europe, my mornings start with meetings.
I usually end my day catching up on emails and working on Jira tickets. This involves creating specifications for what we're building and answering emails and Slack messages.
