Sr. Manager, Strategic Integration & Operations

At Warner Chappell Music (WCM) - the global music publishing arm of Warner Music Group (WMG) - we shape the culture of songwriting and champion songs that resonate for generations by creating transformational opportunities for songwriters everywhere.

The Warner Chappell Global Strategic Integration and Operations team is a small but mighty team focused on delivering and implementing business objectives. Working closely with our global leaders, we are responsible for driving and embedding our global business strategy.

As a Senior Manager, Strategic Integration & Operations, you will play a central role in shaping and executing WCM’s global strategy. Acting as a key partner to senior leadership, you will lead high-priority, cross-functional initiatives while ensuring alignment across global teams.

This role requires a highly strategic, operationally-minded individual who is comfortable working across executive stakeholders, managing complex projects, and driving tangible business outcomes. You will have broad visibility across the organization and a unique vantage point into how a global music publishing company operates.

• Support WCM’s Co-Chairs (CEO & COO) in aligning global teams to company priorities and key initiatives

• Act as a connective tissue across regions and functions, ensuring alignment and information flow.

• Lead large-scale, cross-functional strategic initiatives (e.g., global platform rollouts, partnership strategies, and new business opportunities)

• Oversee prioritization and execution across multiple concurrent workstreams

• Support the development of quarterly board materials, including drafting narratives, building presentations, and preparing executive talking points

• Support preparation for annual global Business Reviews and other key executive forums

• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI and automation tools to accelerate research, synthesize information, and streamline workflows. The ideal candidate will bring not only familiarity, but active, creative application of these tools.

• Able to work with complex data sets and communicate key findings in the format that best serves the audience, whether that's a verbal briefing, a visual summary, or written narrative.

• Energized by system-level problem-solving and able to find meaning in incremental progress.

• Comfortable operating in long-cycle projects without losing momentum or focus.

• Experience working in small, generalist teams where resourcefulness and adaptability matter as much as expertise.

• Proven experience managing complex, cross-functional projects with senior stakeholders.

• Exceptional communication skills, including experience developing executive-level presentations and materials.

• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and driving clarity across teams.
