Product Manager

Napster Corp. is a company that has consistently been at the forefront of transformational technology shifts, now focusing on democratizing access to creative expertise through AI. They are seeking a Product Manager to own the roadmap for the Napster App, which is designed to facilitate real-time music creation and interaction with AI companions. The role involves defining success metrics, coordinating with various teams, and navigating user transitions from traditional music streaming to innovative AI-driven experiences.

Responsibilities:

• Own the roadmap — You decide what the Napster App builds next
• Move at our speed — One day here feels like one month
• Go deep on AI — This isn't a product where AI is a feature
• Navigate the transition — Some users loved the old Napster
• Define and track what matters — Active creation rates
• Design for sharing — The artifact people share isn't always the one you'd expect

Requirements:

• 5+ years in product management, at least 2 on consumer mobile (iOS/Android). But if you have 3 years and have shipped more than people with 10, we want to talk
• Production-level AI fluency. Not 'I read about AI' and not just 'I use Claude daily.' You've built working products with AI tools — using Claude Code, Cursor, or similar environments to ship things to real users. You can explain what changed in the last three months. You have opinions about which models are better for what. You understand MCP, agent orchestration patterns, and the difference between a demo and a product. Show us something you built in the last 90 days
• Ships fast in ambiguity. You've worked in environments where the playbook didn't exist and you wrote it while executing. Startups, scale-ups, or fast-moving teams inside larger companies. You're comfortable making decisions with 60% of the information
• Technical enough to be dangerous. You can hold a real conversation about APIs, WebRTC, streaming architectures, prompt engineering, and model orchestration. You don't need to write the code, but you need to understand the constraints
• Strong product vision you can actually articulate. You've driven product direction through influence, not org chart authority. You can write a clear spec, present a compelling strategy, and defend hard trade-offs without hiding behind jargon
• Experience with AI-native products (not just 'we added an AI feature')
• Background in music tech, creator tools, or social platforms
• Experience managing credit-based or usage-based monetization
• Familiarity with video AI, voice synthesis, or avatar technology
• Having navigated a major product pivot where the existing user base was attached to the old thing
• A genuine obsession with what AI makes possible that shows up outside of work
