Product & Lifecycle Marketing Manager

United Masters is building a marketplace that connects artists, brands and fans – empowering artists to earn and grow. United Masters has taken the bold step of building a music distribution service that, radically, puts artists first – disrupting the legacy music business by letting up‑and‑coming artists distribute their music directly to fans through streaming services while maintaining ownership of their master recording rights and up to 100% of royalties.

Through the combination of United Masters’ music distribution platform and its deep ties to brands, United Masters enables independent artists and change‑makers to grow and earn unlike any other platform.

The United Masters team is made up of musicians, marketers, engineers, and storytellers with backgrounds from You Tube, Sound Cloud, Pandora, Facebook, Uber, Dropbox, Complex, VICE, and more. We work hand in hand with the award‑winning creative teams that forge those innovative partnerships at Translation (our in‑house creative advertising agency).
