Career Transition Accelerator for Women in Product
Rachel Dowling
Product Leader (Equal Time, TrustYou)
Get unstuck. Land your next Senior PM, Group PM, or Director of Product role
You've been doing the work, building products, leading teams. Now it's time for you to look for your next role, and it seems the job search rules have been rewritten.
AI fluency is a hiring signal now. Recruiters want to see what you've built, not just that you can do strategy and build a roadmap.
Getting noticed is hard. It is not clear how to standout in a sea of talented candidates. You wonder if you need to settle for a lower position.
You feel overwhelmed when it comes to LinkedIn. It's not clear to you how much effort should go into branding versus other activities.
The PM Ladder is a mess. You are not sure which level you are best suited for.
Most senior women I work with don't have a skill problem. They have a clarity and packaging problem, and a job search system built for a market that no longer exists.
This course teaches you the system that works: clarity on who you are as a candidate, specific tactics for filling your pipeline with interviews, and interview prep at the level you're targeting.
It has been amazingly successful, with previous cohort members landing VP of Product roles and negotiating big raises. Come join us!
What you’ll learn
Boost your confidence and land an aligned Senior Product leadership role.
Identify your spike and write a senior positioning statement that names who you serve and the specific problem you solve.
Translate your positioning into a refreshed LinkedIn, resume, and 30-second intro that work across every channel.
Get live coaching and peer feedback in small-group sessions twice a week to pressure-test your story.
Publish a LinkedIn post that demonstrates your point of view and signals your level to recruiters and hiring managers.
Build and ship a working AI agent that automates a real PM workflow, the kind hiring managers ask about in 2026 interviews.
Rebuild your LinkedIn profile around your spike so your name shows up with a clear thesis, not a static job history.
Set application volume targets and stand up a tracking system you'll run weekly until you sign your offer.
Execute across all four channels: warm referrals, alumni networks, hiring manager outreach, and automated cold applications.
Master the cold outreach that 80% of senior PM candidates skip, and that disproportionately drives callbacks at this level.
Build a behavioral story bank using a senior-grade framework designed for L6+ roles, not the STAR method that signals junior.
Complete a strategic case study and a product sense response at the altitude expected for the role you're targeting.
Practice live in cohort sessions with feedback from Rachel and peers so you walk in to interviews already in reps.
Apply negotiation fundamentals plus advanced tactics for handling counters, competing offers, and total comp conversations.
Walk away with a negotiation playbook ready for your next offer call, including scripts for the hardest moments.
Learn from real cohort outcomes, including a member who negotiated above the maximum salary band at her new VP role.

Testimonials
I had the pleasure of working with Rachel years ago and witness her PM skills and leadership first hand. She is not just a very effective and well-respected product leader, but also an incredible person (smart, kind, thoughtful) and a caring mentor.
Monika
Senior Director of Internal AI (MongoDB)I finally received the revised offer letter and have officially signed it and sent it off. I can say that I am feeling very relieved and excited for this next chapter. It’s been a long search for me. But I’ve learned a ton along the way and I think overall the experience has made me a better advocate for myself and my skills. 🙂
Natalia
VP of Product (Alma)#win for building confidence in advocating for yourself at work. Rachel has helped me drill down the details in an upcoming compensation adjustment request that I now feel strong and confident about.
Susan
Senior Product Manager (MethaneSAT)For me, its your material and the pivot in my thinking it caused w.r.t positioning myself, specially knowing how a hiring manager would see 0>1 projects vs large scale applications in the same line. IT was never as clear to me. The tactical feedback on resumes, and the why behind it; also the good side of networking - even w/o any response, i was able to realize why i need to do it.
