Product Manager offer letter template
Product managers read offer letters the way they read specs: they look for what is missing. Name the product area they will own, the manager, the bonus plan mechanics, and the equity in numbers. A cover-style letter with the welcome up front and the terms as pages reads well for this role.

What to include in a product manager offer letter
- The product area or team they will own on day one.
- Bonus target as a percentage of base, and what it is measured on (company goals, individual goals, or both).
- Equity count, vesting and cliff.
- Hybrid expectations in days per week, not 'flexible'.
- Start date and the response deadline.
- Benefits summary with the effective date.
Questions
- Should the letter describe the bonus plan in detail?
- State the target percentage and what it depends on. Leave the full plan document to HR; say the plan document governs.
- Can I include a title that differs from the internal level?
- Yes, but put both in the letter so there is no dispute later.
