Product Manager

Hook Music•New York City, NY

About The Position

Hook is a social music platform, backed by top-tier investors, building the next generation of music discovery, fan expression, and creator growth. We turn the songs people love into sounds they can play with — enabling fans and creators to reimagine music through intuitive, remix-friendly experiences with zero learning curve. By partnering directly with artists, labels, and rightsholders, Hook ensures music is discovered, shared, and expressed in ways that respect and reward the people behind it. At Hook, music isn’t just consumed — it’s experienced, expressed, and made personal. We are looking for a Product Manager to own end-to-end product management across Hook’s creation and consumption experiences. This is a high-impact, generalist role suited for someone who thrives in early-stage environments and can operate across a wide surface area — from creator tools to social discovery, growth loops, and AI-powered features. You will own roadmap planning and prioritization across key product areas. You will work cross-functionally with engineering, AI, design, marketing, content, operations, and leadership to translate strategy into execution. You must be highly organized, analytically strong, deeply user-centric, and comfortable moving from vision to shipped product quickly. This role requires strong product instincts, excellent communication skills, and fluency in leveraging AI tools and workflows to increase clarity, speed, and decision-making quality across the product lifecycle.
