The Role

Product Strategy & Objectives

• Define and evangelize a multi-year vision for WMG’s distribution ecosystem.
• Translate business challenges into clear, outcome-based objectives (e.g., "Instant Global Availability") that empower your teams to innovate.

Continuous Discovery & Innovation

• Lead a culture of persistent discovery.
• Ensure your teams are validating ideas for value and viability daily, working in the "Product Trio" (Product, Design, Engineering) to tackle risks before a single line of code is written.

Coaching the PM Craft

• Your #1 priority is the growth of your team. Recruit and mentor Product Managers, coaching them to master deep user empathy and business viability.
• Foster an environment of ownership where teams are measured by the problems they solve, not the features they ship.

Partnership & Advocacy

• Cultivate trust-based relationships with leaders across global labels, legal, finance, and operations.
• Act as a bridge, synthesizing their constraints into a shared vision that you champion across the organization.

Principled Innovation

• Drive innovation with a conscience.
• Be the architect of a distribution strategy that embraces the evolving AI landscape while building the guardrails necessary to protect our artists' livelihoods.

Proven Product Leader

• Extensive product management experience with a track record of leading PM teams that ship products to solve complex problems, ideally with some exposure to the world of music and/or digital media.

Strong Technical/Business Sense

• Discuss system architecture with engineers and P&L constraints with executives.
• Understand that a great product must be feasible to build and profitable for the business.

Expert on the "Four Risks"

• Don't wait for a launch to see if a product works. Mitigate Value, Usability, Feasibility, and Business Viability risks upfront.

Extreme Ownership

• Act as the steward of your product’s success.
• Embrace challenges as opportunities for leadership, rallying your cross-functional partners to navigate obstacles and find creative, viable paths forward—no matter the complexity.

Music-Minded & Mission-Driven

• Genuine love for music and the people who create it.
• Motivated by the idea that your work helps artists share their craft with the world and build sustainable careers.
