Head of New Business - Music Platform
Skills
About the Role
You will own the vision, production, and go-to-market of Amanotes' next music platform, leading the end-to-end process from user understanding and concept through soft launch, global launch, and live operations. You won't inherit a roadmap or a P&L — you'll inherit a strategic mandate, a CEO sponsor, a seed team, and the freedom (and accountability) to find product-market fit from scratch. You'll thrive here if you've started something before, if talking to 30 users sounds like a normal Tuesday, and if you'd rather pick one beachhead and dominate it than build for everyone and convince no one.
Requirements
- Built a product or business from zero to material revenue, either as a founder or as the first business lead inside a larger company
- Comfort with two-sided markets, understanding why supply and demand have to be solved together
- A real customer-discovery practice with ability to describe last 20 user interviews and resulting changes
- Fluency in unit economics: LTV, CAC, payback, cohort retention
- Track record of recruiting senior people into ambiguous, early-stage work and keeping them
- Have shipped in the creator economy, music tech, social, or live entertainment (nice to have)
- Have led a P&L in Southeast Asia, especially Vietnam, Indonesia, or the Philippines (nice to have)
- Have raised external capital or built an internal business case strong enough to clear an IPO-track board (nice to have)

- Ship the first paid version of the product to 5-10 reference customers by month 6
- Hit a defined product-market-fit threshold by month 12
- Build a core team across product, engineering, growth, and creator partnerships
- Own strategy end-to-end, from beachhead selection to follow-on market expansion
- Run primary market research personally, especially in the first six months
- Define and test the riskiest assumptions before scaling spend using MVBPs and concierge-mode experiments
- Set and defend the business model, pricing, and unit economics
- Hire the founding team and set the operating cadence
- Partner with LiveOps, New Games, and Music App leads on shared infrastructure, content, and audience handoffs
