This is a thrilling opportunity to help build artists' careers from the ground up.
    What you'll do:
    • Build close relationships directly with artists and their teams while managing multiple active campaigns simultaneously.
    • Collaborate with internal AWAL teams such as A&R, Global Commercial Partnerships, Sync, Brands, Radio, Creative, and International to build innovative marketing campaigns, creative tools, and set measurable goals that drive cultural impact, grow fanbases, and deliver tangible commercial results.
    • Strategize and implement digital marketing and audience development plans including content marketing, advertising, influencer campaigns, and social media best practices.
    • Conceptualize and coordinate the production of digital and social creative assets.
    • Craft and share compelling marketing updates including artist proposition docs, audience segmentations, release strategy updates, project pitch info, and data analysis.
    • Maintain and build a network of external partners such as content creators, social strategists, marketing agencies, and publicists that you hire and directly manage on campaigns.
    • Provide direct operational support to artist teams by setting up digital and physical releases and troubleshooting data, statement, and royalty questions.
    • Monitor and analyze campaign performance through internal and third party data tools in order to derive learnings and apply those to your campaigns.
    • Manage and administer marketing campaign budgets.
    • Regularly attend shows and travel, as needed.
    Who you are:
    • 6-8 years experience in a marketing or digital marketing role at a music company with a successful track record working with artists across multiple genres.
    • You love music and are passionate about AWAL's mission to partner with independent artists to tell stories that shape culture.
    • You embrace creativity, aim high and push boundaries while maintaining impeccable attention to detail.
    • You have an excellent knowledge of the current music landscape - from bubbling artists to social trends, the latest DSP features and fandom behaviors - with a hunger to experiment.
    • An excellent communicator and enthusiastic collaborator who works well with artists, managers, team members, external partners, and senior management.
    • You are hungry to learn and grow. You are a curious self-starter that likes to ask questions and gets excited about new projects. You seek out and embrace opportunities to invest in your professional and personal development.
    • You thrive in a fast-paced environment, juggling multiple tasks and priorities while delivering timely results.
    What we give you:
    • You join an inclusive, collaborative and global community where you have the opportunity to fuel the creative journey
    • A modern office environment designed to foster productivity, creativity, and teamwork
    • Our Hybrid with Flexibility approach combines the flexibility of remote working with the benefits of in-person collaboration whenever we need to come together to do our best work. Managers will partner with their teams and employees to establish work arrangements that meet the business, team, and individual needs.
    • An attractive and comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life & disability coverage, and 401K + employer matching
    • Voluntary benefits like company-paid identity theft protection and resources for pets, mental health and meditation resources, industry-leading fertility coverage, fully paid leave for childbirth or bonding, fully paid leave for caregivers, programs for loved ones with developmental disabilities and neurodiversity, subsidized back-up child and elder care, and reimbursement for adoption, surrogacy, tuition and student loans
