Commerce & Artist Marketing Coordinator at UnitedMasters in Brooklyn, NY

Job description

Who We Are UnitedMasters is building a marketplace that connects artists, brands and fans – empowering artists to earn and grow. UnitedMasters 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 UnitedMasters’ music distribution platform and its deep ties to brands, UnitedMasters enables independent artists and change-makers to grow and earn unlike any other platform. The UnitedMasters team is made up of musicians, marketers, engineers, and storytellers with backgrounds from YouTube, SoundCloud, 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). We are looking for a Commerce & Artist Marketing Coordinator to join UnitedMasters! Please note that this role is a Hybrid role: four days in office and one day remote. The Role As a Commerce & Artist Marketing Coordinator, you will help make sure our artists’ music lands in front of the right audiences and their physical product reaches the fans who want it. You will support the Commerce team as the day-to-day connective tissue between UnitedMasters and our DSPs: Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and others — keeping pitch calendars, release grids and editorial follow-ups running on time, and tracking what placements actually delivered. Alongside that, you will help coordinate physical products: vinyl, CDs and special collector formats, from manufacturing timelines through inventory and retail distribution. Beyond the commerce remit, you will serve as a coordination point for the broader Music team — running the logistics behind our recurring team and leadership meetings, supporting our Artist Management team on high-priority administrative needs, and helping bring our label events and partner presentations to life. This is a role for someone who is energized by being the person who keeps a lot of moving parts on the rails. This is an entry-level role built for someone who wants to learn the commercial engine of the music business from the inside while working directly alongside our artist management and label leadership. You will sit close to the decisions that determine how an independent release performs, and the relationships and instincts you build here with DSP partners and our artist-facing teams are the foundation of a career in music. What You’ll Do Commerce & DSP Prepare and maintain the DSP pitch calendar for upcoming releases, ensuring every priority release is submitted on time and with complete, compelling supporting materials. Assemble release assets, artist context and performance data for editorial submissions across Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and emerging platforms, and draft supporting pitch copy in partnership with the Commerce lead. Track playlist adds, editorial placements and store features across all DSP partners, and maintain a shared record the Commerce and Artist Marketing teams can rely on. Pull and format weekly and post-release performance reporting from DSP partner portals, flagging trends, wins and misses to the Commerce lead. Support partner meetings and DSP check-ins by building agendas and one-sheets, taking thorough notes, and driving follow-up items to completion. Maintain a monthly roundup of DSP product changes, new pitch tools and editorial priorities for the broader team. Physical Product Coordinate physical product timelines for vinyl, CD and special collector formats — tracking manufacturing milestones, test pressings, approvals and in-stock dates against release dates. Support inventory and retail distribution tracking, surfacing stock, reorder and sell-through issues t
