Howtelevision, Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Yosuke Otonari), which operates the user-first career platform "GaishiShukatsu.com" under the vision of "Fostering talent that can take on global challenges and create the future," has released a special feature article titled "First-Class Product Managers" (9 parts in total).
Background of the Project
Product Manager (PM) — This job, which originated in the United States, is becoming widespread in Japan, particularly within the IT industry. Recently, it is not uncommon for highly capable students to choose a PM role as their first career.
PMs, who are involved in a wide range of areas such as UX (User Experience), engineering, and business while bearing significant responsibilities, are sometimes described as "a role to experience before starting a business."
While PMs are attracting attention, the scope of their duties is broad, and the roles they play vary slightly depending on the company. For this reason, many people may feel that "it's hard to understand what they do, and they are elusive."
The special feature "First-Class Product Managers" covers stories from a diverse range of PM professionals, from young talents to veterans, to uncover the true essence of this role, which seems known yet remains largely unknown.
