About the event

As a senior product manager, career progression isn’t always linear. Titles vary, expectations shift, and the path forward can look very different depending on the business, the team, and the stage you’re at.

This roundtable brings together senior product managers who are looking to build high-impact careers. Connect with senior ICs, swap war stories, and leave with practical ideas you can use the next day. Moderated by Milena Court, a Staff Product Manager who’s progressed through some excellent product-led organisations, the session is designed to be open, honest, and shaped by the group.

Using pre-event surveys and a retrospective-style format on the day, the discussion will be led by the topics and challenges that matter most to the room.

We’ll explore topics such as:

  • Influence without formal authority, winning buy‑in, and saying no to the wrong work.
  • Prioritisation trade‑offs when everything looks important.
  • How senior PMs are thinking about scope, growth, and long‑term product impact
  • Navigating IC vs management progression paths and shaping your own next step.

The aim is to connect you with others at a similar stage, create space for real conversation, and leave with fresh perspective on your product career — wherever you’re heading next.

This is an intimate session with only 12 spots. If you'd like to attend, please reach out to Louise Smith or Ellie Staves, or get in touch at hello@burnssheehan.co.uk.
