Head of Product - beatBread : Job Details

beatBread is a fast-growing music financing platform transforming how artists access capital without giving up ownership.

As Head of Product, you will lead the development and execution of our product strategy, working together with the CEO and other members of the executive team to scale our impact in the music industry.
