SPRINT
PRODUCT JOB SEARCH PROGRAM
SPRINT™️ is personalized coaching experience specifically designed for high-performers who need help navigating their first (or next) Product Management job search. It’s like having a personal trainer for your job search for up to 6 months. 💪
This is your time to get the title (and pay) you deserve.
You’ve taken all the courses, read all the LinkedIn posts, and followed “the experts” but nothing. Zilch. You’re ready, maybe a little frustrated, but completely out of hope. You know where you want to get go but need help getting there because who has another career year to waste?
You’re serious about landing your first (or next!) Product job
LET’S GO GET IT
Hi, I’m Jess 👋
I vividly remember starting my first official Product Manager job in 2015 (after doing Product with other titles for years).
With 14 years of direct Product Management experience, 5 years as a Product coach, and 100+ Product Managers taught and coached, I’ve learned a thing or two about pivoting into and succeeding in Product.
Whether you want to pivot from a Project Management position into Product (finally) or maybe you’re a current Product Manager who needs a little help landing your next opportunity, know that you can learn how to navigate the resume, application strategy, and interview process with a lot less guesswork.
Overview
SPRINT™️ is a 6 month hybrid (1:1 and group) coaching experience specifically designed for high-performers with transferrable skills who need help navigating their Product Management job search. It’s also great for Product folks who are back on the job hunt and need a refresher and support.
Is this you?
You’ve applied to several Product Manager jobs, and haven’t heard back for at least an initial interview. Or maybe you’ve finally landed the ever-so-elusive interview, and you bombed it. You failed to answer that one question about product launches confidently and then wish you’d ended the interview experience differently. Or worse, you lost the interviewer as soon as they asked, “So, tell me about yourself”.
Being good at what you do and continuing to progress in your career is paramount, but you’re not quite sure how to get started. Maybe you’ve worked with a Product Management team for years or even worked as PM in some ways but never had the title, so you’re looking to launch and effective job search, but you have no idea how.
Maybe you still have questions like…
Is this the best time to start a product job search?
How can I convince a hiring manager that I’m a strong candidate?
Why is everyone else landing interviews and offers and not me?
How do I become a better interviewer and not get ghosted?
How do I know which roles makes the most sense for my background?

What to Expect
THIS IS NOT A DIY, SELF-PACED COURSE THAT YOU’LL NEVER ACTUALLY FINISH.
This is a hands-on environment that is designed to ensure you’re primed and ready to transition into your first (or next) Product Management role ASAP.
The SPRINT™️ Program has a roadmap that is structured around core, predictable milestones.
Here’s how we’ll work together:
We’ll tackle your job search strategy within the first week. Then we’ll overhaul your resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile so you can start applying within the first 10-14 days.
Next, we focus on your interviewing skills so that you’re prepared to handle the recruiter screens, hiring manager interviews, and panel interviews, too.
There’s a really good chance that you’ll receive a take-home assignment to seal the deal. We’ll help you to tackle it, and negotiate your offer as well.
Kristina's journey with SPRINT didn't just lead her to a new role; it provided profound clarity about her career trajectory. Initially cold applying to PM roles, she realized through personalized coaching that a traditional PM role wasn't the right path for her right now.
After just a few months in the SPRINT program, she accepted a multiple 6-figure offer for a Senior Product Ops role.

Both! SPRINT includes 6 private 1:1 milestone calls at key moments for things like finalizing your job search strategy, resume, refining your “Tell me about yourself…” narrative, mock interview practice, take home assignment, and (my favorite!) offer negotiation.

This is why I am selective about who joins the program. I need to ensure that the selected clients align with the requirements and work ethic in the program because I am driven to deliver results.
While I can not promise you a role in 180 days, I am confident that the process is designed to achieve your goal. If you do not receive an offer within 180 days, then we will figure out the best next steps together. Simple as that.
ps - if anyone is guaranteeing you a job in a certain timeframe, be cautious.
