We are UMG, the Universal Music Group. We are the world's leading music company. In everything we do, we are committed to artistry, innovation and entrepreneurship.

We own and operate a broad array of businesses engaged in recorded music, music publishing, merchandising, and audiovisual content in more than 60 countries. We identify and develop recording artists and songwriters, and we produce, distribute and promote the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful music to delight and entertain fans around the world.

We are passionate about the impact of eCommerce for artists, providing a full service solution to grow an artist's owned business including strategy, creative, storefront merchandising, fulfillment, customer service, technology, and more.

Merchandise and e-commerce is part of the fabric of music culture. For artists, it's a way to develop and further articulate their brand. For fans, it's another pathway to connecting with an artist and the culture they represent.

- Lead the creative development of artist stores, ensuring visual storytelling, navigation, and content work together intuitively.

- Partner with insights and research teams to translate fan behavior, performance data, and learnings into creative strategy.

- Continuously refine creative approaches based on results, cultural trends, and emerging digital best practices.

- Act as a trusted creative partner to labels, artists, managers, and internal stakeholders by communicating creative direction with clarity and confidence, building trust and alignment across teams.

- Balance artist expression, brand integrity, UX best practices, and commercial objectives.

- 5-7 year's experience with Ecomm digital creative direction

- You don't just make decks, you create worlds that people want to live in, then sell them

- You understand that creative production is a team sport and foster a collaborative environment

- You are obsessed with digital experiences, but no, really.

- You understand that function dictates form, but emotion dictates action

- Deep experience within either fashion Ecomm OR Music, both preferred.
