Through the combination of UnitedMasters’ music distribution platform and its deep ties to brands, UnitedMasters enables independent artists and change-makers to grow and earn unlike any other platform.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The UnitedMasters team is made up of musicians, marketers, engineers, and storytellers with backgrounds from YouTube, SoundCloud, Pandora, Facebook, Uber, Dropbox, Complex, VICE, and more. We work hand in hand with the award-winning creative teams that forge those innovative partnerships at Translation (our in-house creative advertising agency).</span></p> <h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>What's the Role</strong></span></h3> <p>UnitedMasters is seeking a Director of UX to lead the design vision, customer research, and end-to-end product experience across iOS, Android, and web.
