What are we looking for

Youll lead one of the biggest music stats apps in the world with 17 million people using it to track their music habits. Utility is our bread and butter and weve nailed it.

But music has always been inherently social. Its how friends bond how memories are made and how feelings get shared without saying a word. Thats what were building for. Were turning passive listening into something socialsomething you talk about laugh about and send to your group chat. Less look at my data more this song is us.

If youve ever wanted to take a product with serious scale and make it feel personal alive and deeply social this is your shot.

Essential to manage your expectations

This isnt your typical PM role. Were looking for a builder who thrives in the messy 110 or 10100 stages and knows what it takes to bring ideas to life from scratch. Youve likely worn many hats before: founder early employee product lead. Youve built things with limited resources made tough calls and owned outcomes end to end.

Youre not here to optimise a metric in a corner of a giant app. Youve spent most of your time in startups because you want chaos freedom and accountability. You think like an owner because youve been one or want to be one.

Were a small fast missiondriven team where everyone acts like a founder. This is not a 95 job. Its a place for people with raw intellect grit and the hunger to build something that matters. If that excites you we should talk.

What youll be doing:

• Craft a strategy for how our music stats app can create differentiated and defensible offerings that get us closer to our longterm product vision and win buyin for this at every level in the company.
• Get to know our users and uncover their needs and pain points. Look beyond the numbers to deeply understand how our users interact with and get value from our product.
• Shape outcomefocused product goals and an ambitious experimentdriven roadmap to validate prototype and push forward new ideas and concepts.
• Drive execution working iteratively and collaboratively with design engineering analytics monetisation user growth and many others to rapidly build learn and iterate.
• Communicate effectively with people of all levels of seniority. Youll get people inspired by the product vision and youll share the right context with the right people at the right time.
• Lead planning processes and associated roadmap prioritisation using an appropriate blend of effort upside and risk ensuring that your team works on the highest impact priorities contributing to broader business goals.
• Improve the efficiency of the product development process particularly in the ideation prototyping and earlyvalidation stages.
• Keep a pulse on the competitive landscape and market trends.
  

What youll need to succeed:

• Youve shipped successful mobile consumer products in fastpaced highgrowth environments ideally at preseed seed Series A or VCbacked startups where speed ambiguity and ownership are the norm.
• You think like a founder because youve been one or wanted to be one. Startups are your natural habitat. You prefer building from scratch over managing roadmaps inside slowmoving orgs.
• Youre passionate about building great products for users but you also deeply understand what makes your product succeed commercially.
• You start from first principles. Youve previously built products that tackled longstanding user problems in a new way or otherwise broke from the industry status quo. Youre not satisfied with simply building the same product your competitors offer.
• Youre full of novel ideas and creative solutions and can tease them out of others too.
• Youre datadriven relentless about metrics and intellectually honest about how your work is performing and driven to continuously improve it.
• Youre flexible and fluid in your approach to work. With enough research you can develop a point of view on market outlooks and cultural trends. With enough debate you are capable of changing that point of view.
• You bring product sense and design sense in spades and rolling up your sleeves is your default approach.
• You can work and communicate effectively with a diverse range of people and working styles to get stuff done and can thoughtfully and constructively challenge and influence the people you work with
  

Bonus points:

• Its great if youve worked on music social or entertainment products but its not essential.
• Experience with SQL and data analysis.
• Experience with data products machine learningdriven products and recommendation algorithms.
