The Role

Kobalt Music Publishing is redefining catalog marketing for the modern era. We are looking for a visionary and forward-thinking Vice President, Catalog Marketing to lead global strategies that drive catalog consumption, audience development, and long-term revenue growth.

In this role, you will develop and execute innovative, data-driven campaigns that celebrate Kobalt’s world-class catalog — from newly acquired works to iconic compositions spanning generations. You’ll collaborate closely with Creative, Synch, Writer & Publisher Relations and Business Development to bring catalog stories to life in culturally relevant, contemporary ways.

We are seeking a strategic, entrepreneurial leader with deep catalog expertise and the passion to shape how timeless songs find new audiences around the world.

  • Translate strategy into actionable plans and campaigns with clear KPIs and measurable impact.

Campaign Innovation & Execution

  • Develop and execute global and regional campaigns that reintroduce catalog works to modern audiences.
  • Create compelling narratives around composers, songs, and cultural moments.
  • Partner with DSPs, digital platforms, and media to secure playlisting, editorial opportunities, and activations.
  • Experiment with new partnerships, content formats, and digital experiences that drive discovery.
  • Leverage social trends and cultural moments (TikTok, Reels, viral events, anniversaries, etc.) to amplify catalog relevance.
  • Produce high-impact visual assets — short-form video, lyric videos, reels, motion graphics — to support priority songs.
  • Collaborate with merchandising partners to develop unique products tied to iconic works.

Data & Insights

  • Partner with Business Intelligence & Creative Research teams to identify growth opportunities.
  • Monitor campaign performance, report insights, and continually refine marketing approaches.

Collaboration

  • Align catalog marketing with Sync opportunities across film, TV, gaming and advertising.
  • Collaborate with PR to drive visibility, storytelling, and media momentum.
  • Support Business Development with post-acquisition launch strategies for new catalogs.
  • Work with labels and artist teams to support shared marketing initiatives.

What You’ll Bring

  • Extensive experience in catalog marketing, music marketing, publishing, or entertainment strategy roles.
  • Proven success building multi-platform campaigns that drive audience growth and long-term revenue.
  • Deep understanding of catalog music, streaming trends, and digital audience behavior.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to spot commercial opportunities and bring ideas to life.
  • Strong leadership, collaboration, and communication skills — experienced in global, cross-functional environments.
  • Excellent analytical, creative, and storytelling abilities.
  • Existing relationships with DSPs, media partners, and key industry stakeholders.
  • A resourceful marketer who excels without huge budgets, creates high-impact digital content cost-effectively, and has a proven track record of driving playlisting and increasing catalog consumption through smart, data-led digital campaigns.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
