Product Manager, Pro Audio

Location:

100% Remote. We hire anywhere within the U.S.

We're looking for a Product Manager who will own the product backlog for our flagship Auto Tune product line. This is a highly tactical role—you'll be the critical bridge between product strategy and engineering execution. You'll work embedded within an Agile development team and be responsible for translating strategic initiatives into executable software work, balancing user value, technical quality, and delivery velocity.

You’ll write user stories, unblock engineers, and ensure we ship features that delight users.

This role requires someone who excels at the scrum role of product ownership—writing exceptional user stories, collaborating with a cross‑functional team, and maintaining ruthless backlog clarity—while also understanding music software deeply enough to make smart sprint‑level decisions and speak fluently with both engineers and users.

We're seeking candidates with a fresh perspective, modern product thinking, and exposure to best practices from consumer software, SaaS, creative tools, or other high‑value product environments. What matters most is that you're passionate about great design‑thinking product management and that you personally love making music.

• Own and maintain prioritized product backlogs for Auto Tune and related products
• Write detailed user stories with clear, testable acceptance criteria that engineers love
• Participate in scrum events as a core team member and lead work prioritization during sprint planning and backlog refinement
• Make sprint‑level prioritization decisions within the strategic framework set by product leadership
• Partner closely with engineering leads to evaluate technical feasibility, manage technical debt, and make informed trade‑offs between new features and refactoring or stability work
• Unblock developers continuously—clarify requirements, answer questions, make tactical trade‑offs
• Support QE team’s definition of test cases and acceptance testing approaches

• Conduct user interviews to validate assumptions and uncover workflow pain points
• Use product analytics and usage data to inform prioritization decisions
• Analyze competitive landscape, including emerging AI vocal tools
• Synthesize user feedback from support tickets, community forums, and surveys
• Partner with Design to prototype and validate user‑centric features before engineering handoff

• Write, maintain, and present PRDs and MRDs
• Translate complex technical capabilities into user‑facing benefits
• Be the voice of the user and product in engineering discussions
• Document decisions, trade‑offs, and rationale for future reference
• Communicate progress and blockers clearly to cross‑functional stakeholders

• 4-5+ years of product management or product owner experience in software development environments (though not necessarily music tech)
• Exceptional Agile/scrum product ownership skills
• Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle
• Excellence at writing user stories and acceptance criteria
• Strong collaboration skills with engineering teams
• Design thinking and user‑centered design experience
• Genuine passion for music software
• Proficiency with a major DAW and understanding music production workflows

• Scrum Product Owner certification (CSPO or equivalent)
• Background in consumer software, SaaS, or creative tools (Adobe, Figma, Notion, etc.)
• Experience with user research methodologies beyond interviews (surveys, usability testing, analytics)
• Competency & fluency with AI tools to improve product management workflows
• Technical background or ability to understand DSP concepts at a high level
• Personal creative experience producing music or using vocal processing tools
• Active participation in music production communities (Reddit, Discord, forums)
• Experience working with subscription business models
• Empathy for those with the fear of singing (we test our own software!)
