How we curate this board (and what never makes it)

workinproduct is a curated index, and “curated” is doing real work in that sentence. Here is what happens between a company publishing a product role and that role appearing on this site — and what gets filtered out on the way.

Source: employer career sites only

We collect directly from company applicant-tracking systems — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, Teamtailor, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee and a growing list of others — never from aggregator feeds. Direct sourcing means the apply link goes to the employer, the posting date is real, and when a role closes at the source it closes here. No zombie listings scraped from a scrape of a scrape.

Scope: product roles available to people in Europe

We cover all countries in Europe, including the UK, Switzerland and Turkey. Employers can be founded or headquartered anywhere. A US-founded employer’s Berlin product team is in scope; a Dutch employer’s “remote (US only)” role is out. Eligibility depends on each role’s work locations and explicit remote hiring conditions. “Remote” alone does not mean someone based in Europe can take the role.

*Scope wording corrected on 24 September 2026: employer origin is not an eligibility requirement.*

Enrichment: structure before judgement

Raw job ads are unstructured prose, so we extract the fields you actually filter on: seniority, role type (PM, PO, product lead, product marketing, design, ops), remote policy and scope, salary where disclosed, skills and language requirements. Each listing then gets a quality score; postings that are too thin to judge — no description, no team context, no way to tell what you’d be doing — don’t publish.

What never makes the board

• Agency and bench postings — if the employer isn’t the company you’d work for, it’s out.
• Ghost roles: listings that vanish and reappear to look fresh keep their original age here.
• Non-product roles wearing the title: “Product Manager (industrial equipment sales)” gets classified out.
• Anything requiring relocation outside Europe.

The pipeline runs nightly, with fresh roles landing during the day as sources update. When something slips through — it happens — every job page has a feedback control, and reports feed straight back into the filters. The board you’re reading is the pipeline’s output, and this article is its contract.
