Who we’re looking for

We need an experienced, growth-focused Product Manager to deliver engaging experiences for potential customers as they come to learn about and consider Audio Network’s subscription products and services.

You’ll plan this work as a series of evolving hypothesis-based bets and initiatives that prioritise the most valuable opportunities for acquiring and growing our customer base.

You’ll be well-versed in digital media go-to-market strategies and customer engagement techniques. You’ll follow your creative instincts but always be data informed.

  • You’ll be hands-on – working daily with a scrum team to test assumptions, wireframe user journeys, build functionality and ship software to users
  • You’ll partner with our data and insights team to understand our customers in detail. You’ll use customer research, behavioural data and usability testing insights to shape the work. Importantly, you’ll nurture a customer-centric mindset within your team(s).
  • You’ll constantly evaluate the impact of any solutions created, and use a blend of qualitative and quantitative research to steer future decisions
