The A Side
UMR is the label responsible for ensuring the continued success of Universal Music Group’s world class catalogue of recordings.
At UMR we work with some of the most successful, innovative, timeless, and respected artists of all time. From The Beatles to Florence + The Machine, from Sam Smith to Stormzy, right through to Metallica & the soundtracks of Disney. UMR’s vision is to use our collective passion & knowledge to help people find their new favourite song, whether it is 3 years or 3 decades old.
Our purpose is to continually spark a connection and reconnection with music that matters; drawing on new content, new platforms and new moments. We give music the chance to reconnect with new and unexpected audiences through great storytelling regardless of generation and genre.
The B Side
As Senior Marketing Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how some of the most iconic recordings in the world continue to connect with audiences today. Embedded within a frontline label but closely aligned with UMR, this role sits at the intersection of culture, creativity and strategy - reimagining catalogue through modern storytelling, platform-native thinking and audience-first marketing.
You’ll lead the development and delivery of ambitious, insight-led campaigns that spark discovery, deepen fan relationships and unlock long-term growth for artists and estates. Acting as the glue between frontline and central catalogue teams, you’ll ensure catalogue thinking is embedded into wider artist strategies while championing its cultural and commercial value across the business.
This is a role for a senior, curious and culturally fluent marketer who understands how music travels today - and how to give timeless records new relevance.
