About the Role

Eventim is seeking an experienced Product Discovery Manager to help shape the future of our ticketing platform by uncovering client needs, researching emerging markets, and identifying long-term product opportunities.

In this highly collaborative, client-facing role, you will partner directly with clients, prospects, and internal teams to understand how organizations sell tickets, manage operations, and engage fans. Through interviews, onsite discovery sessions, market research, workflow analysis, and product validation, you'll transform insights into strategic recommendations that influence our product roadmap.

This role is ideal for someone who is naturally curious, enjoys solving complex business problems, and thrives at the intersection of experience, product strategy, and market research.

This position is hybrid and requires regular in-office collaboration in our Los Angeles office.

• Identify client pain points, unmet needs, and emerging opportunities that influence long-term product strategy.
• Create journey maps, personas, workflow diagrams, and opportunity assessments.
• Evaluate how existing platform capabilities can be extended into new use cases.
• Translate research into clear product recommendations, problem statements, and feature opportunities.
• Partner closely with Product Managers, UX, Engineering, Design, and Client Success teams to define future roadmap initiatives.

Market & Competitive Research

• Research client segments and market trends to identify opportunities for platform expansion.
• Analyze competitive products, business models, operational workflows, and technology ecosystems.
• Evaluate industry economics and identify gaps where Eventim can differentiate.
• Monitor evolving client expectations and best practices across ticketing and adjacent industries.

Research, Analytics & Insights

• Combine qualitative research with quantitative data to develop actionable product insights.
• Analyze client behavior, operational metrics, and adoption trends across high-volume transactional systems.
• Measure pilot program success and identify opportunities for improvement.
