Job description

Join our global force of 500+ innovators, blending the latest in tech with the greatest in soundtracking, from our Stockholm HQ to offices in London, New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, Oslo, and Seoul. We’re an industry leader with a startup mentality. We take what we do seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Creating and collaborating to transform the sound of streaming, content, and culture. Come join us— and let the world feel your work.

The role

As a Sonic Branding Partner, you will combine strategic brand consultancy with hands‑on music curation to deliver world‑class, end‑to‑end solutions in sonic branding and wider music consultancy services. You act as the company’s expert in sonic branding — shaping how brands identify and express themselves sonically and emotionally across experiences and touchpoints. You will own strategically important music curation projects from initiation to final delivery, working closely with Sales and CSM to ensure our in‑house agency delivers strategic, creative, and measurable outcomes. You are equally at home guiding customers through high‑level sonic branding projects as you are curating playlists for a wide spectrum of customers.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Lead & Deliver: Own high‑value client accounts from initial brief to final delivery, leading projects in sonic branding, music curation, and broader music consultancy.

• Strategic & Creative Oversight: Provide expert consultation on sonic identity, oversee creative excellence in all projects, and curate bespoke music selections that align with client objectives.

• Client & Team Leadership: Build and sustain senior‑level client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor while mentoring and elevating the creative quality and delivery within the Curation team.

• Drive Innovation & Measure Value: Track industry trends to keep our services at the forefront of innovation, while defining KPIs and communicating the ROI of our work to clients.

• Hands‑On Music Curation: Curate playlists, soundscapes, and wider music services that serve both creative and commercial client objectives.

• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner effectively with A&R, Music Development, Marketing, Sales, and Product teams to ensure alignment with wider goals, processes, and market positioning.

• Catalog Expertise: Maintain deep knowledge of the Epidemic catalog and artist ecosystem, contributing insights to A&R and Sound Acquisition discussions.

• Workshops & Presentations: Lead high‑impact workshops, listening sessions, and stakeholder sessions — articulating musical rationale with clarity, confidence, and narrative purpose.

Requirements:

You are a client‑centric and influential partner who combines deep musical expertise with strategic brand and storytelling insight to craft sound and music identities that strengthen narrative meaning, deepen emotional connection, and drive meaningful impact. You understand how culture moves, how audiences listen, and how music shapes perception across film, digital content, branded environments, and multi‑sensory brand touchpoints. You bring senior authority in sonic branding, designing and shaping audio identities that are both distinct and strategically anchored in brand purpose. You use that insight to advise clients, shape creative direction, and unlock the full storytelling power of sound — delivering work that is both creatively resonant and commercially effective.

Experience:

• 10+ years in brand strategy, marketing, music or creative consultancy.

• Extensive experience in leading brand strategy and senior client relationships.

• Extensive experience in audio / sonic branding (core expertise requirement).

• Strong experience in agency / consultancy / team or project leadership.

• Strong experience in hands‑on music curation or music supervision.

• Strong musical fluency across genres and cultural contexts.

• Experience with film/TV and digital content is a plus.

• Knowledge of music licensing and copyright is a plus.
