Your work will be driven by anniversaries, reissues / deluxe releases, archival content and trending moments. The focus is to work with talent and their teams to elevate their legacy with measurable outcomes: purchases, streams, saves, playlist adds and long-term catalogue value. This is a hands‑on role in a team that’s evolving fast. We’re building new ways to use data, automation and AI tools to work smarter. You don’t need to be a technologist, but you do need to be curious.

• Manage daily digital operations, including smart linking, content uploads, and platform management, to a high standard.

• Deep understanding of and passion for multiple music cultures, fan communities, platforms and trends.
• 2+ years in digital marketing, ideally in music, entertainment or media.
• Hands-on experience running paid campaigns across Meta, Google, TikTok or equivalent. We care about structuring campaigns for results, not certification in any one tool.

• Strong written and visual communication. You can write a clear brief and present results to a room.
• Organised, self-directed and collaborative. This role spans creative, commercial and technical teams across multiple artists and markets.

• Experience at a label, management company, DSP or music-focused agency.
• Familiarity with streaming analytics tools (Chartmetric, Spotify for Artists, Luminate or similar).
• Interest in AI tools for marketing - AI-assisted creative, audience research, automated reporting or prompt-based workflows.
