• Partner with Commerce to develop music streaming and physical product offerings that generate incremental revenue and deepen fandom.

• Identify and lock in non-traditional partnerships across sports, lifestyle, and LGBTQ+ spaces to expand artist reach beyond music channels.

• Take total accountability for global project budgets, ensuring spend is optimized for maximum market impact.

• 8+ years of high-level marketing experience at a major record label, specifically within urban genres (Hip-Hop, R&B, Afrobeats).

• Strategic powerhouse who doesn't just execute tasks but builds the blueprints for success from inception to global commercial dominance.

• You enjoy the challenge of being data-informed but creative-led, drawing insights from numbers while protecting the integrity of the artist's vision.
