Cutting Edge Music Tech - On-Demand Vinyl Records
We are seeking an Installations Manager to help us redefine the physical and digital music industry. elasticStage is building the world's first on-demand vinyl and CD platform, unlocking physical music for the Digital Creator era. By 2030, there will be over 250 million music creators globally, most locked out of physical formats due to high minimum runs and operational complexity. elasticStage solves this through patented on-demand vinyl and CD manufacturing technology, powering a free-to-use platform where creators can produce and sell physical releases worldwide with no upfront costs or minimum quantities.
And we are scaling fast:
100,000+ creators are using the product within our first year of commercialisation Aiming for 20X growth by 2027. Partnerships with SoundCloud and Amuse (with more major partners to come!) Shipped to 79 countries. 4.7★ on Trustpilot and Google Recently raised new funding, bringing the total capital raised to £30M Just moved to a new office in Kings Cross
We are looking for an Installations Manager to lead the deployment of our machines at our new production site. You will own the end-to-end installation of our unique machines at our new production site. Starting at 3 production units per month and scaling to 5-6, you will plan, coordinate, and directly support a small team of installation technicians across mechanical, electrical, and audio disciplines.
This is not a desk role as you are expected to be on the floor, technically capable across the installation scope, and ready to roll up your sleeves when the team needs support. Your core mission is to make installations faster, more reliable, and more repeatable over time. You will be accountable for delivering safe, on-time, high-quality installations while continuously improving installation efficiency and repeatability.
