Product Manager

FanDragon Technologies is an emerging, well-funded start-up based in West Hollywood, CA, revolutionizing the global ticketing distribution business with a proprietary, Blockchain-based software solution that allows ticket rightsholders to gain transparency over data throughout the ticket supply-chain.

We are seeking a freelance Product Manager to help drive our company’s product vision and roadmap for a three-month contract, which could go longer. We are open to the possibility of bringing the right candidate on as a full-time employee.

This role requires someone with thorough understanding of current mobile app trends and technologies, and product management best practices, while keeping in mind the user experience.
