Chief Product Officer

Key Responsibilities: Group product strategy. Where the portfolio goes; where products stay independent, where they share capabilities, where connecting them creates new value. From priorities to a coherent roadmap, investment model, and product architecture. One ecosystem for musicians. The connective layer — shared identity, personalization, content portability, cross-product discovery, shared libraries. You make the transitions between products natural and mutually reinforcing. A North Star for each product — and for the group. For every product, one measure of the real value it creates for the user. And as products connect, a single North Star for the whole ecosystem. This is the compass teams steer by. The customer lifecycle. You own the whole arc — from first touch to lasting habit: how people arrive, activate, come back, get more value, and stay. We judge product success by that, not by short-term conversion. Monetization strengthens the user relationship instead of working against it. AI-native product. Define what AI changes in learning, practice, creation, search, and discovery, and build a focused portfolio of AI initiatives with real user value — a product, not a set of demos. The team and its leaders. Build an exceptional global product organization and grow strong product leaders under each product, so the team is durable, not dependent on one person.

Required Experience: An established product leader who has worked at portfolio or ecosystem level, not a single product, and who combines strategic range with closeness to users, data, and product quality. Led consumer products, platforms, or digital ecosystems at significant scale. A demonstrated record of growing retention, engagement, and user value. Systems thinking — can assemble an architecture across products, users, and data. Grew strong product leaders instead of keeping decisions to themselves. What matters to us: We are looking for someone who thinks in outcomes for the user and the business, not roadmap length; who can protect a product's long-term value from the pull of short-term monetization; who builds a team instead of carrying it alone. The opposite stops us: success measured by feature velocity, treating AI as a tool rollout, and an inability to work without a fully prescribed process.
