AI companies are significantly reducing the number of product manager (PM) positions available, with a reported 34% drop in these roles as part of their overall job openings. A recent analysis of job postings collected from 100 AI and tech-focused companies on December 8, 2025, revealed that product manager titles are becoming less common as organizations adapt to new technologies like large language models (LLMs). The study identified 8,803 unique job roles after deduplication, emphasizing a notable shift in hiring practices. The methodology involved scraping job platforms for postings across various categories, including AI, B2B, consumer, data, DevTools, and fintech. Companies like OpenAI, Twilio, and Stripe were part of the analysis, but the data excludes major players like Google and Meta, which could skew the findings. The results highlight that companies are reevaluating the role of product managers, possibly due to the increasing capabilities of LLMs that may alter how product development is approached. The breakdown of job postings shows a marked difference in the proportion of PM roles across different sectors. AI companies accounted for a significant share of the decline, suggesting that as these technologies evolve, traditional management roles may be viewed as less essential. This trend raises questions about the future of product management in tech, particularly as companies explore more automated solutions to drive innovation and product development.
