Full-time Digital Marketing Manager, Sony Music Global Job Board
FULL-TIME EXEC JOB · MUSICIANS SECTOR · LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM
Sony Music RCA is hiring a Digital Marketing Manager to own strategy, campaign delivery, and audience growth across their artist roster. This is a permanent, on-site full-time role at a major label; fractional placement unlikely. The remit spans strategy, content, influencer marketing, and performance analytics—a solid mid-to-senior marketing leadership position for someone with label or major label digital experience.
Full-time Digital Marketing Manager — the balanced verdict
Why this role stands out
- Established major label (RCA/Sony Music) with prestige roster and global reach
- Broad remit spanning strategy, campaign execution, content, influencer marketing and analytics—ideal for a marketer wanting cross-functional exposure
- Emphasis on data-driven strategy, trend-spotting and emerging platforms (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) signals modern marketing practice
- Comprehensive benefits (private medical, pension, life assurance, music industry perks, winter break) and explicit investment in professional development
Worth checking before you apply
- Full-time, on-site role in London—not flexible to fractional or portfolio work unless negotiated separately post-hire
- High-pressure environment ('vary and full workload', 'work under pressure'); role assumes familiarity with music industry and artist management nuance
- No salary stated; benefits listed but no day rate or annual package transparency in posting
