The Role
The Music Marketing & Commercial Partnerships Manager is an analytical sales and marketing role sitting within Moonbug's music label team, supporting the Director, Label Commercial & Marketing. This is a multi-disciplinary role for someone who is as comfortable interpreting streaming data and building a market intelligence narrative as they are coordinating a release campaign or managing a DSP pitch submission.
This role is LA-based and works in close partnership with the Director on day-to-day commercial execution, bringing analytical depth to support release and marketing decisions. The right person brings strong analytical instincts, commercial curiosity, and the operational discipline to keep a busy label running smoothly, and is fluent in the data tools and AI platforms that make all of this possible at pace.
6-month fixed term (with possibility of full time hire) | 5 days on-site in Los Angeles
