  • Own campaign performance reporting, test planning, forecasting, and optimization recommendations.
  • Develop practical experimentation plans across audiences, creative, messaging, landing pages, funnel stages, attribution, and incrementality.
  • Partner with brand, product marketing, content, creative, e-commerce, analytics, CRM, and web teams to improve campaign effectiveness and customer experience.
  • Identify opportunities to scale repeatable paid media practices, tooling, reporting, and governance across the inMusic portfolio.
  • Guide agencies, partners, or internal contributors where appropriate, ensuring campaign quality, clear priorities, and accountable execution.

What You Bring

  • Experience building and optimizing paid media programs across channels such as Google Ads, Meta, YouTube, search, display, paid social, retargeting, or similar performance platforms.
  • Strong analytical skills and comfort using measurement frameworks, reporting tools, attribution models, A/B testing, incrementality concepts, and campaign-level performance data.
  • Ability to translate performance insight into practical action plans that improve acquisition efficiency, revenue, conversion, retention, and ROI.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with marketing, web/e-commerce, analytics, creative, content, product, and external partners.
  • Budget ownership or budget pacing experience, with sound judgment around investment trade-offs and performance forecasting.
  • Clear communication skills, strong attention to campaign quality, and the ability to explain recommendations to both marketing specialists and senior stakeholders.
  • Interest in music technology, creator tools, audio products, or the culture of music creation.

Why Join Us

  • Work on brands and products used by creators, producers, performers, DJs, and musicians around the world.
