Senior Product Manager

We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to help us redefine the music industry. We've invented a new technology to produce on-demand vinyl records and built a web platform for music creators to create and sell their products worldwide via our store at zero cost. We partner with leading record labels, streaming services, digital providers, distributors, and iconic global artists to build a global solution for physical media — but most importantly, we give small and emerging artists frictionless access to offer vinyl and CDs to their fans through our innovative solution and planned production/fulfilment centres in Europe, the USA, and Asia.

The vinyl market has grown over 20% yearly for the last 16 years, and CDs are growing again for the first time in two decades. By 2030, there will be nearly 200 million music creators worldwide (with AI accelerating this even further). Most would love to have their music on vinyl or CD for friends, family, and fans — many would happily buy a record for around $30 if accessible without high costs or minimums, which our scalable on-demand tech makes possible. elasticStage delivers easy, affordable access to this booming opportunity.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Senior Product Manager to lead the evolution of the elasticstage.com platform end-to-end, spanning customer-facing web experiences, core platform capabilities, and factory and production management systems. The ideal candidate will bring strong industry experience building and scaling complex digital products, with a proven track record of delivering high-quality products in scale-up or similarly complex environments, and a solid understanding of software engineering principles.

The Senior Product Manager is pivotal in shaping product strategy, owning the roadmap, and driving execution across interconnected systems, from online product configuration and ordering through to production planning, manufacturing, and delivery. Working closely with engineering, factory operations, production, customer service, and growth teams, the Senior Product Manager will ensure seamless, end-to-end delivery of our iconic products at scale.

You will manage large, high-impact initiatives across the business, ensuring seamless execution while balancing strategic vision with hands-on delivery.

This is a highly autonomous role for someone who thrives in complexity, can align stakeholders on trade-offs, and can translate business strategy into shipped product.

Come join us and help scale a fast-growing, high profile industry disruptor!
