Raman Rajakumar

Principal Consultant

I lead Product Management recruitment across the USA at Signify Technologies, specializing in helping scaling AI firms secure top-tier Product talent in today’s exceptionally competitive AI market. With a deep understanding of the market nuances, I advise Product candidates on effective strategies to navigate career transitions, optimize their resumes, excel in interviews, and stay informed on industry trends.

My journey into tech began while studying Computer Science, where my early exposure to Agile and Scrum methodologies sparked a passion for Product Management. For over four and a half years now, I’ve been recruiting specifically within the Product space, consistently demonstrating my expertise and commitment to excellence. My current focus areas include Enterprise AI and AI Infrastructure, and I’ve previously recruited in highly specialized sectors such as Blockchain infrastructure, Payments infrastructure, and B2B FinTech—where I was recognized as a global top biller.

Beyond recruitment, I host Zero to One: Product Journeys, a short-form weekly podcast available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Each episode spotlights Product leaders behind influential software products, exploring their build journeys, critical decisions, and key lessons to guide the next generation of Product Managers.

Outside of work, I’m a passionate NBA fan who enjoys travelling, watching movies, and playing paddle.

 

“We recently partnered with Raman on our search for a Product leader. By the time we engaged Raman, we’d been looking for the better part of a year. It was a very challenging search because the products we’re building are at the leading edge of NLP/LLM/ML, and there are simply not many people out there with the knowledge and experience that we needed. We’d also spoken to many of the most qualified people in the market. Scarcity was a major obstacle. Enter Raman—he delivered a slate of top candidates, one of whom we hired into the role. During their candidacy, Raman was responsive and quick with updates. He also did a great job throughout the offer stage, providing timely follow-up and support. I would absolutely recommend Raman and Signify.” – VP of Product, AI Startup
