🎧Summary:

DistroKid's mission is to help music creators at every level be more prolific, in ways that make previously inaccessible outcomes possible through low prices and ease of use.

Our platform serves millions of artists via affordable annual subscription plans, helping them get their songs and videos out into the world, earning royalties, while providing additional tools for promotion, fan connection, and enjoying their music.

As a Senior Technical Product Manager on our Music Delivery Systems team, you'll own two essential areas of our platform:

Our music delivery systems: powering the timely, reliable delivery of millions of tracks to streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon
Our internal content operations tools: streamlining album reviews, support workflows, and day-to-day operations

You'll partner with engineering, internal operations, design, and leadership to improve efficiency, reliability, and artist experience across both domains.

This role requires you to understand our technical architecture deeply enough to represent product and engineering in partner conversations without requiring an engineer present. You'll define roadmaps that earn buy-in from senior leadership while addressing both immediate needs and long-term scalability. When partner requests impact artist-facing experiences, you'll ensure those changes remain simple and aligned with artist needs.

You'll report to the Director of Product within our small, fast-moving team.

Own the product lifecycle for our delivery pipeline and internal ops tools
Translate partner and operational needs into technical and product solutions
Define and communicate roadmaps for system improvements
Collaborate with engineering to improve delivery reliability
Strengthen monitoring to increase system health visibility
Represent DistroKid in high-stakes partner discussions
Work with other functions in DistroKid who coordinate with our partners (Operations, Legal)

🤘Core Attributes (Skills/Qualifications):

6+ years of product management experience with backend systems, APIs, integrations, or internal tools
Strong technical fluency: Comfortable reasoning about systems and collaborating with engineers (coding background a plus)

Track record balancing long-term technical work with short-term priorities
