Senior Viral Marketing Manager

The Viral team is about momentum, visibility and breaking the rules - helping artists break through online by being clever and experimental. The work ranges from creator campaigns to running fan accounts and using disruptive tech, always with a focus on cutting through noise to create explosive streaming and audience growth.

Your role as Senior Viral Marketing Manager will involve sitting at the centre of culture, spotting sparks before they catch fire and turning moments into movements. You will lead on viral storytelling for some of the world’s most exciting artists, working hand-in-hand with creators, fans, and platforms to ensure our music dominates the digital conversation. From shaping creator campaigns to fuelling a track that’s taken off overnight, your role will be fast, instinctive, and deeply connected to the pulse of internet culture.

Here you’ll get to:

• Lead viral strategy and execution for priority artists, ensuring content cuts through and reaches new audiences.
• Oversee creator and fan-first tactics, including burner and fan accounts.
• Build and maintain trusted relationships with artists, managers, and creator partners.
• Track and amplify early traction on platforms through data-led insights and agile campaign execution.
• Drive innovation across new platforms, formats, and creative tactics to keep artists culturally ahead.
• Report on campaign performance and share learnings to refine label-wide viral strategies.
• Mentor and upskill the Viral Marketing team on emerging best practices and tools.

Qualifications:

• You’re chronically online, with a deep understanding of internet culture, platform trends, and the mechanics of viral moments.
• Proven track record of driving breakthrough social and creator campaigns that spark organic audience growth.
• Deep, expert-level knowledge of short-form platforms, audience behaviour, and the creator economy.
• Strong analytical instincts with the ability to interpret data, turn insights into action and forecast impact.
• Confident leader with excellent relationship-building skills across artists, creators, and internal teams.
• Strategic thinker with a creative edge, able to connect platform innovation to audience growth.
• Collaborative, solutions-focused approach with a passion for experimentation and staying ahead of trends.

We’d love it if you also had:

• Experience running a viral TikTok account.
• Experience using tech for video and image generation.
• A little black book of culturally relevant creators and talent.
