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.
 

Famehouse, a division of UMG, is the preeminent leader in D2C solutions in music, defining & delivering the industry’s best-in-class service to connect artists with their fans. Established & headquartered in Philly, Famehouse powers eCommerce for UMG’s labels, artists, and Bravado, along with a select roster of 3rd party clients.

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.

How we LEAD:

Merchandise and commerce are a 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.

Mercury Records and Famehouse are seeking a driven individual to join our teams as a Director, eCommerce & Artist Services. This role will report into Famehouse, but will be deeply embedded into Mercury’s operations and based out of the label’s New York office. Leading a cross-functional team of D2C experts, you’ll drive global eCommerce planning & campaign management across Mercury’s artist roster, collaborating closely with the label, Bravado, and key groups across UMG to deliver amazing D2C experiences for Mercury, their artists, and—most importantly—their fans.

    • Engage directly with artist teams to sell through eCommerce proposals and to deliver against plans.
    • Work closely with Mercury, Bravado brand managers, and creative lead(s) to ensure ongoing store activity is aligned into broader artist development goals, both on- and off-cycle.
    • Drive label engagement and implementation of core D2C initiatives.
  • Drive eCommerce revenue, calendar & campaign planning & execution
    • Lead store planning, campaign planning and management across Mercury’s eCommerce rights, developing rolling 12mo+ plans to achieve revenue & other artist goals.
    • Track performance against goals by campaign & store, proactively identifying opportunities to improve & adjusting plans based on performance insights
    • Work across Mercury, eCommerce, merch rights owners (ROs), international, and other center teams to facilitate collaboration between appropriate stakeholders across programs, ensuring teams are briefed and integrated appropriately from planning through to execution and fulfillment.
    • Report back to Mercury, REPUBLIC Collective, and Famehouse leadership on store, campaign, and label-level performance, in addition to ongoing activity & status reporting.
  • Lead a cross-functional team to deliver against Mercury & Famehouse’s KPIs:
    • Foster a positive, collaborative, and trusting environment of mutual respect and support across internal FH partners supporting Mercury’s business (creative, merchandising, store management, operations, production, etc.).
    • Ensure the team operates efficiently in tight unison, so we deliver the highest service level to the label and their artists
    • Ensure we are leveraging the right FH & UMG capabilities for each project to maximize impact for the label & artist, pulling individual team members & experts directly into conversations when appropriate.
    • Liaise with Finance teams across eCommerce programs, including managing campaign P&Ls.
    • Ensure eCommerce program compliance with UMG and eCommerce policies.
