Lead Partner Technology Manager, Music Publishing

Job Description

The Music Publishing Partner Technology Management team works with the Business Development team to license music rights through music publishers and collection societies.

We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process. Working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and boundless creativity, we move at the speed of culture with a shared goal to show people the world. We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun - and we do it all together.
