A core component of this position involves leading the relationship with the Global Priority Artist team. It also includes helping complete strategic long-term artist development projects and facilitating executive artist reporting.

As the department shifts away from descriptive dashboards toward proactive, predictive analytics, the Director is tasked with championing the adoption of AI tooling and self-serve capabilities.

The team will deliver enterprise-grade operational insights, anticipate macroeconomic trends, and encourage a unified, data-first culture.

• Own commercial reporting to the Global Priorities team and Topsify, acting as the local point of contact with Global Priorities leadership and ensuring a clear framework for tracking artist development.

• Co-own and facilitate the Recorded Music Analyst Network to ensure cross-territory best practices and the reduplication of analytical efforts.

• Drive global alignment by harmonizing commercial results monitoring and proactively phasing out overlapping regional reports to promote adaptable central solutions.

• Lead the promotion of AI technologies and self-service functionalities while the division moves from traditional descriptive dashboards to more anticipatory, prediction-based analytics.

• Work in lockstep with the Data Solutions & Innovation (DS&I) team—who coordinate the core data frameworks and semantic models—to provide enterprise-level operational intelligence.

• Direct and coordinate complex, high-stakes deep-dive analyses to uncover hidden commercial opportunities, forecast large-scale economic patterns, and identify operational inefficiencies.

• Present data-backed strategies, financial forecasts, and market trends directly to C-level executives, confidently defending methodologies and influencing enterprise-wide decision-making.

• Shift the department’s focus from descriptive analytics (what happened) to predictive and prescriptive analytics (what will happen and what we should do about it), proactively guiding the business through market shifts.

About You:

• 6–10 years of experience in Business Intelligence, Analytics, or Data Strategy, with a consistent track record of driving commercial growth through data.

• Deep technical foundation, with a strong architectural understanding of relational databases, data warehousing, and advanced manipulation languages (SQL, Python).
