Last Thursday, we had an insightful conversation on Product Manager Skills: What Employers Actually Look For in 2026 with Alexander Oamen.

One key takeaway?

“Employers don’t hire potential. They hire evidence.”

From data driven decision making and stakeholder management to problem solving, technical fluency, and building a strong portfolio, the session highlighted what it really takes to stand out in Product Management.

A certificate can show that you learned. Your evidence shows that you can do.

Thank you, Alexander Oamen, for sharing your experience and practical insights with us. 👏

Getting into Product Management can feel like there’s a long list of things you’re supposed to know.

But which of these skills actually matter when you’re trying to get hired?

And more importantly, how do you show employers that you have them?

That’s what we’re exploring in the next two sessions of the UstackSchool Community Learning Weekly Series.

We’re going beyond “learn Product Management” and getting into the things that can actually help you move forward.

On 20 August, we’ll look at:

🎙️ Product Manager Skills: What Employers Actually Look For in 2026

We’ll talk about the technical and non-technical skills employers are prioritising and how you can demonstrate them through your CV, portfolio, and interviews.

Then on 27 August, we’ll tackle another important part of the journey:

🎙️ Your First Product Portfolio: How to Prove You Can Do the Job

Because sometimes, the challenge isn’t having the skills. It’s having something that proves you can use them.

Whether you’re just starting out, switching careers, already working in Product, or still figuring out if PM is right for you, these sessions will give you practical direction for your next step.

📅 20 & 27 August
⏰ 8:00 PM WAT
💻 Free virtual sessions

Come with your questions. Leave with a clearer idea of what to build, what to improve, and how to position yourself.
