Music Marketing & Commercial Partnerships Manager

This is a Full Time Job

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

Responsibilities
• Support the end-to-end coordination of Moonbug's release schedule, tracking timelines, managing internal deadlines, and ensuring the right information reaches the right teams at the right time.
• Liaise with Label Operations to ensure all releases deliver in time with marketing needs.
• Support the preparation and submission of DSP pitching materials, compiling release information, assets, and supporting data for editorial submissions.
• Help maintain Moonbug's artist and brand profiles across DSPs, ensuring pages are up to date, accurately presented, and optimised for discovery.
• Support the development and delivery of music marketing campaigns, coordinating assets, timelines, and approvals across internal and external stakeholders.
• Coordinate with Moonbug's brand marketing teams on integrated campaigns, tracking deliverables and ensuring music marketing activity is aligned with wider brand plans.
• Monitor Moonbug's streaming performance across DSPs, investigating root causes of significant shifts, whether driven by editorial, algorithmic, source of stream, content type, or market-wide factors, including analysis of lean forward and lean back consumption patterns. Use findings to build and maintain Moonbug's playlist strategy.
• Analyse the impact of Moonbug's own marketing and promotional activity on streaming performance to help the team understand what is working and why.
• Monitor emerging trends across territories, flagging international market opportunities and shifts in listener behaviour.
• Track how competitors are marketing and promoting their content across DSPs and beyond, monitoring campaign activity and feeding those learnings back into Moonbug's own approach.
• Synthesise findings into clear reports and presentations for the Director, building a narrative from data that informs commercial and strategic decisions.
• Manage our on-air catalog for SiriusXM, tracking performance, delivering new assets and refreshing content at regular intervals. Oversee our Pandora strategy. Collect radio liners as needed from Moonbug talent. Work with the SXM Marketing team to support the station.

Requirements
• Experience in a label, streaming, or music commercial environment, with a track record of operating across both analytical and operational functions.
• Strong analytical instincts, able to investigate performance trends and translate data into actionable commercial insight.
• Familiarity with streaming data tools including Luminate, Chartmetric, Spotify for Artists, or similar.
• Understanding of DSP dynamics, including how editorial, algorithmic, and source of stream factors drive performance.
• Highly organised and operationally strong, able to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously without dropping the ball.
• Fluent in AI tools and modern data platforms, comfortable using them to work faster and smarter.
• Clear communicator, able to present findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders in plain language.
• Proactive and self-directed, someone who identifies what needs doing and gets on with it.
• Knowledge of the children's music or family entertainment market is a strong advantage.
