   Showcase your data analysis skills

Growth Product Managers need to be data-driven in their approach to identifying growth opportunities and measuring the success of their initiatives. Demonstrate your ability to analyze data and derive insights that inform product decisions.

• Conducted cohort analysis to identify key drivers of user churn, leading to a 10% reduction in churn rate
• Analyzed user behavior data to identify opportunities for cross-selling, resulting in a 20% increase in average revenue per user
• Used A/B testing to optimize landing page design, improving conversion rate by 15%

   Emphasize your cross-functional collaboration skills

Growth Product Managers work closely with teams across the organization, including marketing, engineering, and design. Highlight your ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to achieve growth objectives.

Resumes that simply list job duties without providing context or impact often fail to impress hiring managers:

• Worked with marketing team to launch new features
• Collaborated with engineering team to fix bugs

Instead, focus on the results you achieved through collaboration:

• Partnered with marketing team to develop and execute a content strategy that drove a 30% increase in organic traffic
• Collaborated with engineering team to implement a new feature that increased daily active users by 25%

   Include relevant metrics and KPIs

Quantify your impact by including relevant metrics and KPIs that demonstrate your success in driving growth. This helps hiring managers understand the scale and significance of your achievements.

Avoid using vague or unspecific metrics:

• Improved user engagement
• Increased revenue

Instead, use specific and measurable metrics:

• Increased daily active users by 20% quarter-over-quarter
• Grew monthly recurring revenue by 25% year-over-year
• Improved user retention rate from 60% to 75% within 6 months

   Demonstrate your experimentation and optimization skills

Growth Product Managers are constantly experimenting and iterating to optimize the user experience and drive growth. Showcase your ability to design and execute experiments that lead to measurable improvements.

Designed and executed a series of A/B tests to optimize the onboarding flow, resulting in a 30% increase in user activation rate and a 15% improvement in retention over 30 days.

Hiring managers want to see that you have a systematic approach to experimentation and optimization, so be sure to include details on your process and the results you achieved.

   Tailor your resume to the specific role and company

While it's important to highlight your relevant skills and experience, it's equally important to tailor your resume to the specific role and company you're applying to. Research the company's growth strategy and priorities, and emphasize the skills and experience that are most relevant to their needs.

Avoid using a generic resume summary that could apply to any Growth Product Manager role:

Experienced Growth Product Manager with a track record of driving user acquisition and retention.

Instead, customize your summary to the specific company and role:

Growth Product Manager with 5+ years of experience driving user acquisition and retention for mobile apps. Passionate about using data-driven insights to optimize the user experience and drive growth. Excited to apply my skills to help [Company Name] achieve its goal of reaching 10 million monthly active users.
