Senior Content Manager – your next step in digital distribution
You are the main contact for our partners (labels, artist, management), the DSPs and your colleagues. You quality-control newly uploaded releases and – in close communication with our partners – prepare metadata and/or product infos for delivery to the DSPs. You are on top of all procedures and put together best-practice guidelines for our partners in order to minimize or address errors in a timely manner.
You solve data conflicts quickly and correct metadata if necessary. You create landing pages for presave/preorder links, post release links and are knowledgable when it comes to our partners’ content strategies on UGC-platforms. You pro-actively advise our physical label managers in regards to release strategies, have an eye on the back catalogue and steadily optimize the data sets. New partners love your competent onboarding (set-up, integrations etc.) and your confident, pro-active problem solving skills.
You are a confident interlocutor to our technical partners AudioSalad and Curve and are happy to troubleshoot and develop our collaboration. You are interested in current tech trends and developments and are happy to tackle new challenges arising from this.

- You know about the complexities and peculiarities of metadata.
