Product Manager

Company Description On The Stage provides a comprehensive ticketing and marketing platform designed specifically for the performing arts—from K-12 schools to higher ed music, theatre and dance departments, from community theatres to professional and regional theatres, from PACs to venues and event spaces, from dance studios to comedy clubs.

Created by theatre professionals with real experience in the tech industry, we make Broadway-caliber technology tools available to artists and live event producers to achieve their creative and financial goals. On The Stage provides an inclusive environment that welcomes people to join us and make a difference for our client performing arts organizations.

We believe:

• Creativity thrives when artists and educators have the resources they need.
• Live Art is most successful in a sustainable environment of mutual appreciation and exchange with its audience.
• Everyone deserves access to the tools and support they need to bring their artistic visions into the world.

Our end-to-end SaaS platform includes:

• A comprehensive online ticketing system
• Public-facing promotional sites
• Configurable engagement features
• Fundraising campaigns

In your role, you can help our customers experience significant benefits from our platform's ability to produce/manage live or virtual events, increase their ticket sales, save time, and elevate the stature of their program with their audience and in the community. Our customers have sold millions of tickets via our platform, which continues to increase each month!

We were founded by a Tony Award-winning producer and serial tech entrepreneurs with multiple eight-figure exits between them and funded by a group of angel investors experienced in technology and the Arts who are focused on empowering theatre markers with great technology. We're in the business of technology but in service to the arts.
