Artist Partner Engagement Manager

Duetti • New York, NY

4d • $90,000 - $120,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

The goal of this role is to ensure every artist partner feels genuinely supported - starting at signing and continuing throughout the full life of their partnership with Duetti.
We're looking for an Artist Partner Engagement Manager to join our Marketing team. This role is responsible for building the systems and relationships that help us show up for artists in a meaningful way - not just when a deal is signed, but over the long arc of their careers.
You sit at the intersection of relationship management, cultural intelligence, and strategic process. You also understand how artists think, what they care about, and how trust is earned in the music world.

Requirements

• 4–7 years of experience in the music industry in a role that required both relationship building and organizational discipline — artist management, label marketing, A&R coordination, artist partnerships, or similar
• Deep cultural fluency with artists - you understand their world, their language, and what it takes to earn their trust
• Strong instincts for process and systems - you build structures that actually get used because they make people's work better
• A natural collaborator who can work across teams (Marketing, A&R, Creative) without needing to own every outcome
• Comfortable with CRM tools (Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar) and able to use data to track and communicate relationship health over time
• Excellent written and verbal communication - you can craft an outreach message that doesn't sound like one
• Low ego, high standards - equally comfortable behind the scenes and in the room

Nice To Haves

• Experience on the artist or management side (ie. former artist manager)
• Existing relationships within the independent or major label ecosystem
• Experience building a relationship management process from the ground up

Responsibilities

• Own the onboarding experience for newly signed artist partners, ensuring a seamless and intentional transition from deal close to active relationship
• Own and develop long-term relationship strategies for priority artist partners, thinking in timelines of 12–24 months rather than immediate opportunities
• Identify the right moments to engage - upon signing, releases, tours, life moments, career transitions, Duetti milestones - and help the team show up with intention and relevance
• Build and maintain relationship maps for key contacts, including managers, lawyers, producers, and other key members of an artist's extended team
• Represent the company in select artist-facing settings, building credibility and trust directly with artists and their circles
• Build and maintain a clear system for tracking relationship activity, touchpoints, and next steps across all priority accounts
• Develop playbooks and cadences for different stages of the relationship lifecycle
• Partner with sales ops to keep our CRM current and accurate so it functions as a real time view of relationship health that the full team can rely on and actively reference
• Report on relationship health and development to marketing and A&R leadership regularly
• Meet with artist partners to help them get acquainted with Duetti, manage deliverables, and work on ongoing projects and campaigns with them

Benefits

• healthcare coverage
• flexible paid time off
• hybrid work model
