A work in progress

There may be well-worn tracks, but there’s certainly no single career path through product. Plus, the practice of product management varies wildly from one organisation to the other, and no one can agree on titles. So if you’ve moved around a bit, you’re out there navigating all of this, wondering what consistency you can cling to. If you changed jobs, what would it be like? Lindsey Jayne has worked at 35 000 feet, in government, in a charity, in a tiny startup, in a global company preparing to IPO and is now living through a rocketship ride of growth at Monzo. She will share some candid stories from her unconventional journey, and what she’s learning to rely on along the way, regardless of the product, organisation or role.
