Job description

We're a Dubai-based record label company. Since 2016, we've built and managed a catalogue of over 10,000 music releases, distributed worldwide to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Meta and every other major streaming platform.

This is a hands on execution role. You'll own the day-to-day operations that keep the catalogue running: uploads, metadata, reporting, social content, working directly with our label manager. If you do it well, the role grows.

Catalogue & distribution operations:

• Prepare and upload new releases through our distribution platform
• Manage track metadata: titles, credits, ISRCs, release dates, artwork specifications
• Maintain the release calendar across all artist brands
• Document processes, keep files organised, support the team where needed

Reporting & data:

• Pull monthly performance exports from Spotify for Artists, YouTube Analytics and our royalty dashboard
• Maintain performance trackers in Google Sheets / Excel
• Flag anything unusual - a track that's suddenly spiking, a track that's dropped off a playlist

Social media & content:

• Plan and schedule short-form content (Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) across our artist brands
• Write and optimise YouTube titles, descriptions, tags and chapters
• Brief our graphic designer on assets
• Track what performs and adjust accordingly

Desired Candidate Profile

• Affinity with the music industry is a bonus
• Good understanding of music genres and structure
• Organized and detail-oriented
• Comfortable with spreadsheets and any admin tasks
• Strong English communication; Arabic is a bonus
