New York City, New York, United States

Marketing

Music is part of Apple's DNA, and on the Music team, we're passionate about empowering artists and helping them connect with their fans. Shazam brings a unique and outstanding brand of musical magic to millions every day. Hundreds of millions of users. Billions of tags. Countless moments of discovery. It's our people - their imagination, skills, and ideas - that shape our future, and help us make the impossible come to life.

As a Product Marketing Manager on the Shazam team, you are passionate about music and supporting artists, big and small. You'll define business requirements, go-to-market strategies, and work closely with cross-functional teams to scope, position, and launch innovative new products and initiatives that change the way users discover and experience music. This is your chance to inform innovative new products and join a team that is imagining, inventing, and building what's next for millions of artists and their fans around the world.

We're looking for an inspired and creative individual to champion exciting new music products and initiatives. In this role you'll work on unprecedented greenfield programs and craft briefs, messaging, and campaigns for features beloved by hundreds of millions of users worldwide.

On this team, we are experts at representing the perspective and voice of the customer - whether an end user, artist, label, or partner - to develop the consideration set and business requirements that ultimately shape Shazam's roadmap and marketing plans. Cross-functional teams, including Product, Design, Legal and more, rely on us to keep them informed and deliver well-researched, data-driven recommendations and solutions that influence their decisions and policies. They look to us for innovative go-to-market strategies and channel plans that consistently drive awareness and adoption of, or engagement with our products and programs. Our team also serves as product and program evangelists to external stakeholders, including artists, industry partners, press, and customers. As such, this role requires frequent interactions with colleagues, stakeholders, and external partners, alike.

We operate in a highly dynamic, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same. There are always new ideas to be vetted, partners to pitch, campaigns to position, and problems to solve. As a result, strong communication, collaboration, and project management skills are required for our success and credibility. You must be an effective project owner, able to structure ambiguous asks into well-defined deliverables, synthesize complex features or issues into clear points, negotiate effectively with stakeholders, and tailor your communication by context and audience- whether you're speaking to customers, artists and partners, or senior leadership.

Our work on campaigns also requires us to be organized, meticulous, punctual, and attentive to stakeholder and customer needs. We're responsible for ensuring that every marketing plan or campaign is executed smoothly and successfully, and that we proactively monitor performance, identify and triage issues, find real-time escalation paths and solutions, and roll up our sleeves to verify that solutions have been thoroughly implemented. Quality control and assurance is part of the job.
