Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build and scale a social presence that moves at the speed of culture
  • Turn UnitedMasters' social channels into a defining advantage for the company, not a support function
  • Lead a culturally fluent, fandom-native social strategy attuned to the conversations, creators, and moments shaping music and pop culture in real time
  • Set UnitedMasters apart from category competitors: define a social presence and brand voice that legacy distributors can’t replicate, leveraging music, culture, and our deep artist relationships to build a moat that the rest of the category can’t cross

  • Partner with artist services and the music team to share artist wins consistently, turning our roster into our best storytellers

  • Develop product positioning and messaging grounded in user research, market insights, and a deep understanding of the platform
  • Define and refine UnitedMasters' brand: how we present ourselves to artists, brands, and the broader culture, and find the right mix of brand and growth investment for our stage

  • Experience growing consumer mobile, web, and/or enterprise-SaaS products, with clear results on business metrics and revenue growth
  • Experience managing both qualitative and quantitative customer research
