Technology is one of the most important parts of our business. Whether it’s supporting our songwriters, ensuring we provide the right royalty data to global partners, or helping our creative teams use the latest AI tools to discover new talent, technology plays an invaluable role in our success. Product Managers help turn vision into reality.
We are looking for a Product Manager to partner with a local in-person engineering team in Bengaluru focused on music distribution. Distribution is the vital link between music creation and a fan’s headphones, ensuring our music reaches platforms like Spotify and YouTube globally while protecting the complex rights that ensure our artists get paid. You will be a "user-first" thinker who is responsible for a portfolio of features and products, navigating the high-stakes world of global rights, supply chain automation, and high-scale digital delivery.
What You'll Do
-
Continuous Discovery: Build deep empathy for our labels, operations teams, and global partners by maintaining a constant dialogue with them. Uncover their underlying pain points, ensuring that every solution we build truly solves their problems and makes their daily workflows more seamless.
-
Strategy & Roadmap: Define and communicate the long-term vision and roadmap for your products, ensuring they align with WMG’s broader tech strategy.
-
Product Trio Collaboration: Work in a "Product Trio" alongside Engineering and Design to solve complex problems, resolving trade-offs and tackling risks.
-
Execution & Ownership: Serve as the primary author of PRDs and the "executor-in-chief" for your projects, driving development from ideation through technical delivery.
-
Launch & Impact: Develop comprehensive go-to-market strategies, including product positioning, internal messaging, and launch plans. You don't just "ship" code; you ensure the organization is ready to adopt it to achieve maximum impact.
-
Analytical Optimization: Continuously monitor product performance metrics, user feedback, and market trends. Use this data to make informed prioritization decisions, identify areas for improvement, and manage technical debt to optimize the product over its entire lifecycle.
Who You Are

Technical & Business Savvy: You can discuss system architecture with engineers and business constraints with executives, mitigating Value, Usability, Feasibility, and Business Viability risks upfront.
-
A Master Storyteller: You own the "Why" and can easily adjust your communication style for different audiences, from developers to more senior stakeholders.
-
Biased to Action: You have a proven ability to unstick a team, make difficult prioritization decisions, and navigate the ambiguity of a global business.
-
Humble Leader: You have strong opinions, held weakly; you are quick to share credit with your team and accept responsibility when things don’t go as planned.
-
Mission-Driven: You are a music fan motivated by the fact that your work directly impacts an artist’s ability to grow their career and get paid.
