Feed Media Group (FMG) is looking for an experienced VP of Product to join our leadership team and lead our Product department. They will work in partnership with engineering, marketing, curation, licensing, CX, and sales teams to build the next generation of B2B music solutions. The VP of Product is responsible for making compelling experiences across web and mobile that enable more people to experience the proven benefits of music.

In this role you will have the unique opportunity to work with the leadership team to evolve the product and business strategy for FMG’s portfolio of B2B applications and formulate a roadmap to bring that strategy to life.

This role reports to the COO, who also has responsibility for CX, Curation, Sales, and Marketing.

At Feed Media Group we are not your traditional B2B tech company - we are a Music As A Service (MaaS) platform. We’ve streamed over half a billion streams in the first half of 2022 across our suite of products (Feed.fm and Feed Originals). Our goal is to make it simple for businesses to license popular music by taking care of the curating, licensing and compliance behind the scenes. We support brands of all sizes across health, fitness, retail, and more.

We believe the best candidates are eager communicators, learn quickly, are compassionate, collaborate well with others, and have a strong desire to see their work in action. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer committed to an inclusive and diverse workplace. If you are a member of a group that has been historically underrepresented in technology, we especially encourage you to apply.
