Senior Product Manager Copyright Holder Services

WELCOME TO UTOPIA

Music is incredible. It can excite hundreds, and unite thousands. But as an Industry, it has been slow, complicated, and disparate. While the tech world has moved into the future, the music industry continues to be shaped by inefficient systems of the past.

At Utopia we believe there is a better way. Which is why we aim to transform the entire industry; creating new revenue streams, consolidating data and decluttering admin. Do you want to build products for the artists you love to listen to, while being part of a growth journey of a lifetime together with world class talents from international unicorns?

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager for the product area CopyRightHolder Services - including all our customer facing products for music copyright holders such as artists, writers, composers, etc.
