How do I shape my job title for a pivot into product?

As a product leader, I've seen successful transitions from partnerships to product. While titles matter, your actual experiences and demostrated skills are more crucial. Some beneficial titles could be:

1. Strategic Partnerships Manager

2. Product Integration Partnerships Manager

3. Partner Solutions Manager

For example, in a B2B SaaS environment, partnerships roles can develop key PM skills:

1. Technical Integration: Managing API integrations with partners builds technical understanding.

2. Pricing Strategy: Negotiating partnership deals hones pricing and value proposition skills.

3. Collaboration: Working across teams (sales, product, engineering) mirrors cross-functional PM work.

4. Influence: Aligning partner and company goals develops stakeholder management abilities.
