This is a senior leadership role responsible for defining the marketing vision for artists and labels while building and leading a high-performing team.

This role blends long-term strategy with day-to-day execution. You will set the roadmap, lead major campaigns and releases, develop talent, and partner closely with artists, managers, and cross-functional teams to drive impact and results. This role sets the creative bar for UnitedMasters’ artist and label marketing by defining what “great” looks like across brand, storytelling, and campaign execution.

This is a role for a strategic builder. We’re looking for a leader who brings creativity, curiosity, and commercial rigor to their work and who resists defaulting to legacy playbooks.
