We are passionate about the impact of D2C & merchandise for artists, providing a full-service solution to grow an artist’s owned business including strategy, creative, merchandising, fulfillment, customer service, technology, and more.

How we LEAD:

Merchandise and commerce are a part of the fabric of music culture. For artists, it’s a way to develop and further articulate their brand. For fans, it’s another pathway to connecting with an artist and the culture they represent.

Working closely with the label teams, you will lead the execution of D2C and merchandise campaigns across eCommerce, retail and licensing to drive toward our wider creative and commercial goals for the respective label brands. You will play a central role in a cross-functional team of D2C and merch experts, ensuring all US & global teams are aligned and executing to plan.

    • Navigate client demands with nuance—protecting both the artist’s vision and the operational feasibility of the plan
    • Anticipate risks and constraints early; communicate options and trade-offs clearly to artist teams, label partners, and internal leadership.
    • Use performance and operational insights (sales/inventory signals, pacing vs. plan, campaign health) to inform decisions and share learnings with key stakeholders.
       
  • Ensure the cross-functional team operates efficiently in tight unison, so we deliver the highest service level to the label and artists.
    • Drive collaboration with Creative, Store Management, Commercial & Merchandising, Digital/Marketing, Finance, Business Affairs, Channel Operations, and other stakeholders to keep work moving and decisions grounded in execution realities.
    • Ensure campaign documentation, status reporting, and issue tracking are consistently maintained and shared.
    • Ensure optimal process is followed on each project, while remaining flexible to find creative solutions to meet the nuances of artist and label needs.
       
Bring your VIBE:
  • Typically 5-7 years of experience in campaign, production, operations, or program management in music, entertainment, merch, or consumer eCommerce.
     
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills. High degree of comfort communicating with sr. leaders, artist managers, and their teams .

  • Comfort being embedded in a label environment—skilled at building trust, influencing without authority, and balancing label needs with operational realities.
     
  • Exceptional project management skills: able to oversee complex campaign portfolios, manage competing priorities, and guide teams through change.
     
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; calm and solutions-oriented in moments of pressure or escalation.
     
  • Experience with project management tools and dashboards (Monday.com strongly preferred); confident using data to inform decisions and conversations.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
