Current Vacancies
Product Manager
Presto Music is looking for a keen music lover to join our team as a Product Manager, to help develop our fast-growing online jazz department as well as assisting with other departments.
A large part of the role involves day-to-day product management of our jazz content, making sure that new releases on CD, vinyl, downloads and streaming are well presented on our website, with cover images, text and tracklisting, and correctly assigned sub-genres.
The applicant should have a reasonable general knowledge of jazz, but most importantly be enthusiastic to learn about the current jazz scene, and have an interest in discovering new artists. The jazz department also covers genres such as blues, folk, global music, and others that crossover with jazz like soul, funk, hip-hop and electronica, so it would be beneficial for the applicant to be interested in new music in general.
This would be the ideal opportunity for someone hoping to take their first steps into a career in the recorded music industry, to learn more about how it works behind the scenes.

Requirements
- Computer literate, and familiar with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, including Docs and Sheets.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills

- Willing to attend occasional gigs, industry events
