About Blue Throne

You’ll love it here if:

You prefer flexible hours, unlimited time off, and the ability to work from anywhere ????

You are naturally curious and eager to drive impact for both users and the business.

You enjoy wearing different hats - we value experts but appreciate jacks of all trades.

You save the drama for your llama - cool, calm, collected and systematic problem-solving is your thing.

You enjoy a good challenge and love to roll up your sleeves.

You believe in working smarter, not harder - prioritizing productivity and quality over punching the clock.

Above everything, you follow your passion and have fun while doing it.

What are we looking for? ????

Essential to manage your expectations ????

This isn’t your typical PM role. We’re looking for a builder who thrives in the messy 1→10 or 10→100 stages and knows what it takes to bring ideas to life from scratch. You’ve likely worn many hats before: founder, early employee, product lead. You’ve built things with limited resources, made tough calls, and owned outcomes end to end.

What you’ll be doing:

Craft a strategy for how our music stats app can create differentiated and defensible offerings that get us closer to our long-term product vision and win buy-in 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 outcome-focused product goals and an ambitious experiment-driven 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. You’ll get people inspired by the product vision, and you’ll 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 early-validation stages.
Keep a pulse on the competitive landscape and market trends.

What you’ll need to succeed:

You’ve shipped successful mobile consumer products in fast-paced, high-growth environments, ideally at pre-seed, seed, Series A or VC-backed startups where speed, ambiguity, and ownership are the norm.
You think like a founder because you’ve been one, or wanted to be one. Startups are your natural habitat. You prefer building from scratch over managing roadmaps inside slow-moving orgs.
You’re passionate about building great products for users, but you also deeply understand what makes your product succeed commercially.
You start from first principles. You’ve previously built products that tackled long-standing user problems in a new way or otherwise broke from the industry status quo. You’re not satisfied with simply building the same product your competitors offer.
You’re full of novel ideas and creative solutions and can tease them out of others, too.
You’re data-driven, relentless about metrics, and intellectually honest about how your work is performing and driven to continuously improve it.
You’re 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:

It’s great if you’ve worked on music, social, or entertainment products, but it’s not essential.
Experience with SQL and data analysis.
Experience with data products, machine learning-driven products, and recommendation algorithms.
