About us
Zaiko powers ticketing and streaming for live events worldwide, from intimate shows to arena tours. Operating as both a consumer fan app and a B2B platform for organizers, balancing the needs of both sides is central to the role.
Role overview
We’re looking for a Product Manager who’s confident working across product strategy and execution — someone who can translate customer needs and business goals into clear priorities and impactful product experiences across the Zaiko platform. You’ll work closely with designers, engineers, sales, operations, and leadership to define problems, shape solutions, and drive initiatives from concept through launch for both Japanese and global users.
This role is for a PM with solid experience who can balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution, taking ownership of products and initiatives while bringing teams together around a clear direction. You’ll play a meaningful role in shaping the product roadmap, improving the customer experience, and helping Zaiko continue to grow.
Responsibilities
Own the product roadmap for core platform areas, balancing fan and organizer needs:
Ticketing: sales, entry, and the organizer tools behind them
Livestreaming: the paid streaming product and its viewing experience
Native apps: iOS and Android
Fan clubs: subscriptions and membership
Partner with engineering and design to define requirements, review UX, and navigate tradeoffs.
Collaborate with client-facing teams to translate market feedback into impactful product features.
Engage directly with promoters and artist teams to inform product direction.
Define key metrics, set up PostHog tracking, analyze funnel performance, and iterate based on data.
Requirements
Track record of shipping consumer products at scale with demonstrated business impact
Decisive under ambiguity and effective at aligning cross-functional stakeholders
Ability to balance long-term platform investments with urgent client requirements
Proficient in self-serve product analytics and funnel optimization
Strong communication skills, capable of pitching ideas through wireframes, specs, or brief presentations
Business-level English; Japanese proficiency is strongly preferred for promoter and artist team interactions
Work style
Confident working cross-functionally with designers, engineers, sales, operations, leadership, and other stakeholders
Open to feedback and iteration while maintaining ownership of projects, decisions, and outcomes
Proactive, self-directed, and capable of prioritizing and managing multiple initiatives in a fast-paced environment
Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and eagerness to learn
Comfortable communicating clearly with diverse stakeholders and driving alignment across teams
Comfortable coming into the office occasionally (about twice a week for team collaboration)
Nice-to-haves
Experience with marketplaces, ticketing, or live entertainment
Background in a business with both B2C and B2B surfaces
Understanding of Japanese UI/UX conventions paired with global platform insights.
Business-level Japanese and/or Mandarin
