DistroKid’s mission: 

DistroKid is a leading provider of SaaS-based software that serves independent musicians and record labels. DistroKid helps more that 350,000 artists with a suite of tools to help them collect revenue from their music, automatically split earnings among collaborators, publish credits and lyrics online, backup music files, procure cover song licenses, build direct relationships with fans, and get their music into major online stores and services worldwide.

Why this role exists: 

Artists that choose DistroKid rely on the Content Operations (“CO”) team to live up to our reputation as the fastest and highest quality distributor in the market today. The digital stores we deliver music to (such as Spotify, Apple, YouTube, etc) rely on the CO team to only approve releases that perfectly meet their current style guide requirements and are free from rights concerns.

The Content Operations team at DistroKid is responsible for making both artists and digital stores happy by quickly and accurately reviewing all new releases uploaded to DistroKid each and every day. This includes confirming metadata consistency and accuracy, ensuring that artwork is retail ready, and that new releases are free of potential rights concerns prior to approving and sending music downstream to our digital store partners. In this role, you will be expected to maintain DistroKid’s quality and quantity standards, which involve performing repetitive tasks, recognizing patterns and reacting to them appropriately, adapting to sudden and frequent change, possessing a knack for creative problem solving, and bringing a great sense of humor day in and day out.

What’s in it for me?

DistroKid is the new industry standard in digital music distribution. You will be working with leaders of the industry, and be the last step between releases being uploaded to DistroKid, and going to stores.
