Job Description

THE ROLE: Director, Data & Technology Operations, Music 360

Overview

The Director, Data & Technology Operations – Music 360 supports A+E Global Media’s Music 360 organization by building and maintaining scalable data and workflow solutions that improve music and secondary rights metadata integrity, cue sheet accuracy, registration quality, revenue tracking, and reporting across platforms.

This role blends hands-on data engineering with operational ownership, serving as a connector between technical systems and rights operations. It plays a key role in managing and evolving how Music 360 tracks and monetizes both music and secondary rights assets, ensures accurate registration across all relevant entities, and drives automation and analytics that support scalable growth.

This role contributes to the development and execution of Music 360’s data and technology priorities, ensuring alignment between day-to-day operations, evolving monetization requirements, and A+E’s broader technology environment.

A core responsibility is to support end-to-end asset lifecycle solutions, from initial requisition through registration and ongoing monetization—both in current workflows and future-state systems. This includes managing registration data across all external rights organizations and partners, including Performance Rights Organizations (PROs), Collective Management Organizations (CMOs), and global administration partners.

The position is also responsible for identifying opportunities to streamline operational processes and workflows, reduce manual work, and improve transparency across systems and teams.

The role also supports special initiatives and cross-functional projects as assigned by the VP of Music 360 or other senior leadership.

MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU’LL DO:

Data Engineering & Analytics Foundations

• Build and maintain curated datasets in Snowflake (or equivalent systems) that support operational tracking, reporting, and audit workflows across Music 360

• Experience working with cloud-native data architectures using AWS (S3, Glue, Lambda preferred)

• Develop reusable transformation logic (tables, views, and data models) that standardizes key concepts—such as works, recordings, usages, registrations, partners, and financial signals—so reporting is consistent and comparable

• Implement practical data quality checks (validation rules, exception outputs, reconciliation logic) to strengthen trust in downstream analytics and dashboards

• Establish and maintain data standards and quality controls for Music 360 systems to reduce risk and support consistent reporting

External + Internal Data Integration

• Ingest and normalize data from external rights and revenue partners (including PROs such as ASCAP/BMI, publishers, platforms, and usage/royalty vendors), and align it with internal identifiers and systems for analytics and reconciliation

• Hands-on experience with Snowflake (data modeling, performance tuning, secure data sharing)

• Support partner-facing data workflows by helping structure outbound data, monitoring delivery outcomes, and troubleshooting common issues (e.g., mismatched identifiers, incomplete metadata, unexpected rejections)

• Maintain traceability from raw sources through curated outputs so that questions about revenue, registrations, and usage can be answered with clear supporting detail

• Monitor industry and platform changes that impact data requirements and adjust workflows and infrastructure accordingly
