When I used to work for Advent Software, an enterprise software company serving the financial investment management industry, I learned how critical of a role product managers are to high tech development companies, especially those making software. It's no surprise, as the high tech market leads the U.S. economy out of the recession, that product manager positions begin opening up in great multitude. Beyond my list above, a simple search on Twitter will give you a flood of nationwide and international job posting links.
By the way, since I now work for Model N, feel free to contact me directly if you're interested in that role. Of course, this blog post, and all of my other blog posts, represent my individual opinion only and do not represent the opinions of my employer, its ownership or its management.
