Senior Manager, Finance (Record Label & Distribution)
About The Position
Roc Nation is seeking a Senior Manager, Finance who will own the P&L and financial operations for Roc Nation’s record label and music distribution businesses.

This is an ideal role for a high-energy problem solver who brings a can-do mindset, exceptional organization skills, and the ability to see how people, processes, and systems connect.
