Senior Product Manager, Yousician App

Yousician builds apps that teach the world to play music: Yousician (guitar piano bass ukulele singing) and GuitarTuna.

The Yousician App is our flagship product at an inflection point. You will take over an established product and an experienced capable team and youll be expected to form your own evidence-based view of whats working and what isnt then act on it. This is a high-autonomy mandate reporting directly to the CPO with real authority over scope priorities process and how the team operates. Were looking for someone energized by taking over something mid-flight and changing its trajectory not by inheriting a roadmap and keeping it warm.

• Diagnosis before strategy. In your first 90 days build your own picture of the product the funnel the experiment record and the teams ways of working (from data and firsthand observation not the previous plan) and present the CPO a clear assessment with decisions attached.
• The operating system of the team. Turn strategy into staffed dated owned commitments. Every initiative has a DRI a decision date a success metric and explicit kill criteria. What isnt resourced gets cut from the plan visibly not left to drift.
• Ruthless prioritization. Fewer bigger bets tied to measurable in-quarter outcomes. You will be judged on what you decide to stop as much as on what you ship.
• An experimentation program with decision discipline. Every material bet has a measurement vehicle before its built; every readout produces a decision (roll out iterate or kill) on a date not when we get to it.
• KPIs that connect to money. Set and track success metrics that ladder to conversion retention and revenue and be honest about which proxy metrics dont.
• The teams bar. Raise expectations on ownership and follow-through; coach people to meet them; make the hard calls on process scope and team composition when coaching isnt enough.
• The seams. Manage crisp boundaries and joint commitments with Monetization CRM Content and Engineering so cross-team work has one accountable owner not two spectators.
• Advocate for the user in every decision: accessibility usability and joy remain at the heart of the product.

• 5 years in product management for consumer subscription apps at scale including at least once taking over an existing product and team (not only founding or 0-to-1 work) and demonstrably changing its trajectory with numbers you can walk us through.
• Made hard calls and owned them: killed live projects re-scoped quarters mid-flight restructured how a team works and can articulate what it cost and what it returned.
• Built or rebuilt an experimentation practice: hypothesis quality statistical literacy and a track record of acting on negative results quickly.
• Strong analytical skills: comfortable pulling your own data auditing a funnel and challenging a dashboard before trusting it.
• Deep understanding of user-centric design usability and growth strategy for app platforms.

• Music: you play at any level. You understand why learning an instrument is hard and worth it.
• Experience in turnaround transformation or post-reorg situations (as a PM interim lead or operator).
• Subscription and monetization strategy for direct-to-consumer products.
• SEO/ASO and organic growth for consumer apps.
• Excellent communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders; fluency in English.

• Not a caretaker role. You inherit a plan; you are expected to challenge it not execute it on faith.
• Not a consensus-first role: youll gather input widely and decide alone including decisions that wont be popular.
• Not purely strategic: you set vision and run the weekly machinery that makes it real.
• Not siloed: daily collaboration across engineering design data science and marketing.

• Compensation: competitive based on experience and location.
• Start: as soon as possible.
