Product management is one of the fastest-growing and best-paid roles in UK tech, with salaries anchored to company stage and sector: a PM at a Series B fintech will typically earn more than one at a comparable enterprise software firm, and significantly more than in a non-tech business. Mind the Product's 2024 UK salary survey found median PM salary of £72,000 nationally with the London median at £82,000. Equity, typically options or RSUs, is near-universal at funded startups and adds material value for PMs who join pre-Series B.
