About The Position

Splice is looking for a Sounds Business Operations Manager to own the program management and operational work that keeps our Sounds business running smoothly. This role sits between our category teams and senior leadership, focused on workstream management, team coordination, budget tracking, operational process improvement, and cross-functional partnership with Product & Engineering.
This is not a production or creative role. It's a program management and operations role for someone who thrives on bringing structure to complexity, keeping work moving, and making sure teams are set up to do their best work.

Requirements

• 3–6 years in program management, content operations, or business operations, ideally in a music, media, or subscription business
• Strong program and project management skills, with experience managing complex, multi-team workstreams
• Comfortable owning meeting cadences, executive communications, and cross-functional coordination
• Experience working with budgets and financial tracking
• Highly organized, proactive, and able to work through ambiguity without waiting to be told what to do

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with Airtable, Notion, Linear, or similar workflow and productivity tools
• Experience working in music tech or creator-focused technology
• A track record of building automations and scalable workflows to streamline team operations
• Experience architecting processes and systems in ambiguous or rapidly evolving environments

Responsibilities

• Own senior program management across Audio Dev, tracking: workstreams, milestones, and deliverables
• Maintain visibility into what's on track, what's at risk, and what needs intervention
• Proactively surface blockers and coordinate solutions across teams
• Ensure cross-functional dependencies are identified and managed before they become problems
• Represent Audio Dev's needs and priorities in product roadmap discussions and planning cycles
• Coordinate between Audio Dev and Product/Engineering teams on shared workstreams and initiatives
• Bring Audio Dev context into product decisions — surfacing the right data, needs, and trade-offs at the right time
• Track product initiatives that affect Sounds and flag dependencies or risks proactively
• Own the operational cadence of the Audio Dev team, meeting schedules, agendas, follow-ups, and action item tracking
• Prepare and coordinate materials for leadership presentations and cross-functional meetings
• Ensure the right information reaches the right people at the right time
• Help category leads show up to key meetings prepared and aligned
• Manage and report on the audio development budget (~$120k/month)
• Track spend across in-house production, third-party labels, and artist partnerships
• Flag risks and variances to leadership with context and recommendations
• Partner with Finance on reporting and routine financial processes
• Identify and resolve operational bottlenecks across contracting, approvals, and tracking
• Partner with Content Operations to improve systems and reduce manual friction
• Serve as a first-line escalation point for cross-functional issues, routing them appropriately
• Aggregate data on catalog performance, spend, and content health for leadership
• Identify trends or issues that need attention and bring them forward with context
• Support category leads with operational data to inform their decisions

Benefits

• Competitive pay with annual reviews and equity opportunities
• Unlimited PTO to recharge and thrive
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents
• 401(k) plan with immediate vesting and company match
• 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave for non-birthing parents, and 18-20 weeks for birthing parents
• Work remotely or connect at our office hubs and creative spaces worldwide
• Annual learning budget, leadership programs, and team ambassador opportunities
• Inclusive events, team meet-ups, and vibrant Employee Resource Groups
