The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Senior Product Owner to play a pivotal role in the development of Curve’s platform. Reporting to the Head of Product, you’ll be responsible for shaping features and enhancements that deliver real value to our clients across the music industry.

This role sits in the heart of product delivery — you’ll own the backlog, refine requirements and work closely with engineering, QA and design to turn ideas into tangible solutions. It’s an ideal role for someone with strong product instincts, a detail-oriented mindset and a desire to make an impact through collaborative delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and manage the product backlog for key areas of the platform.
• Break down high-level product goals into clear, actionable user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Work closely with the Head of Product to align backlog priorities with strategic objectives.
• Collaborate daily with engineering, QA and design to ensure successful feature delivery.
• Support sprint planning, backlog grooming and daily stand-ups, contributing product expertise.
• Engage with internal teams and users to gather feedback, validate ideas and identify improvement opportunities.
• Help define and track success metrics to measure the impact of your work.
• Maintain a strong user-centric approach, advocating for functionality, usability and value.

What we’re looking for

• At least 7 years of product management experience with 3 years in a senior or lead product owner role.
• Solid understanding of agile methodologies and experience working with cross-functional delivery teams.
• Comfortable writing user stories, acceptance criteria and managing the end-to-end delivery lifecycle.
• Experience with B2B platforms or enterprise software, ideally involving complex data or financial systems.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Organised, detail-focused and able to balance short-term priorities with long-term product goals.
• Experience working in or with the music, media or rights management is a plus but not essential.

Why Join Curve?

• Be part of an innovative company transforming royalty processing in the music business.
• Work with a talented, mission-driven team.
• Flexible working arrangements with a remote-first culture.
• The opportunity to make a tangible impact on a product used by top-tier clients in a global industry.
