Product management remains one of the strongest-paid tracks in UK tech, with compensation shaped by company stage and sector.

A PM at a Series B fintech will often earn more than a PM at a similarly sized enterprise software company, and usually more than in a non-tech organisation.

Mind the Product's 2024 UK survey reported a median of £72,000 nationally and £82,000 in London, while startup equity (options or RSUs) can add meaningful upside.
