Which companies have PM roles that are more strategy focused than PO focused (e.g., focusing on overall product strategy and not leading a Dev team to deliver specific product features)?

Every company operates differently in product management but what I’ve seen so far, is that F500 companies have a separate team/dept responsible for strategy. Product management is primarily dedicated to the design of the product/software. It’s like product marketing is also a separate function. There are 3 dimensions in PM: Strategic, Technical and Marketing.

As you get more senior you become more strategic at most companies. But generally a company that has both PM and PO roles will split strategy/business building and tech management.

Gap but as you get to a more senior role

McK does on some teams. Often the PO is the scrum master. Source: my team works this way.

I feel like the solution path typically does more strategy vs the product team who focuses on builds

The most prevalent PM role is the Technical aspect and the strategic aspect could be owned by someone senior in the team
