Product Salary Guide 2025

Introduction

Recruitment across the Product space was slightly lighter in 2024 versus the same time last year. There was a slight drop in movement in the area with 11.9% of professionals changing jobs versus 12.5% last year. However, there was an increase of 10% joining the space in 2024 which supports the value of Product in the world of tech.

We have seen strong growth (+19%) in AI and Machine Learning product specialisms in 2024 and would expect that to grow in 2025 as more organisations see the promise of AI and Machine learning product development.

This has an interesting split of 33% Female and 67% Male. Product professionals are returning to further education to grow their knowledge in AI and Machine Learning and are then putting that skillset into practice with their current organisations.

AI will certainly automate many tasks but overall will complement the role of the Product Manager. We feel that in the coming years the role of Product Managers will become ever more critical as they add value to what is truly important such as: being able to create a compelling product vision, the ability to comprehend customers’ nuanced needs and pain points, and the human ingenuity needed to bring a successful product to reality.
