Head of Artist Partnerships (f/m/x)
Role Summary
Join Otherworldly as the Head of Artist Partnerships and lead artist acquisition in an innovative music booking company.
About the Organisation
We believe live music is one of the best things humans do, and that far more artists deserve to make a living from it than currently can. That's the opportunity we're building for.
The industry still runs on cold emails and who-knows-who, and it's about to be rebuilt. AI now lets small teams achieve incredible things, and we intend to be the team that rebuilds this one.
Otherworldly is an AI-native talent management and booking company. We run an actual roster, meaning real tours, real riders, real settlements, and we're turning everything we've learned into agentic infrastructure. That means a database of 250,000+ bookers worldwide and algorithmic pitching systems that get the right artist in front of the right promoter at scale.
It's working. We closed our seed round with roster and revenue traction already built. Between us, we've managed No.1 artists and Grammy nominees, led strategy for household-name brands, and founded YC-backed companies.
Most music-tech is built by people who've never booked a show. We book shows every week.
Key Responsibilities
This is our first dedicated growth hire, and a rare kind of role. Youâll own artist acquisition end-to-end and write the commercial playbook for a category that doesnât exist yet - next-generation talent management.
Youâll own a number. By the end of next year, the goal is 120+ artist clients. How we get there - which artists, through which doors, with what pitch - is yours to figure out, prove, and turn into a repeatable machine. When it works, youâll likely hire the next person to run it with you.
Youâll report directly to Alex (CEO) and work side-by-side with the full team in our Berlin office.
- Define and refine our ideal client profile - established, professional musicians. Weâre deliberately selective, and youâll sharpen that selectivity.
- Build and run the full outbound pipeline from scratch: research, outreach, qualification, pitch, close
- Develop routes to artists through their ecosystem - managers, labels, lawyers, booking agents, publishers
- Turn what works into a documented, repeatable acquisition playbook for this specific ICP
- Represent Otherworldly at industry events and in the communities where our artists live... much of our deal flow will start with a conversation you begin
- Work with the team to find friction in the onboarding handover and eliminate it
Minimum Requirements
- An existing network among mid-level to established independent artists and their teams
- Experience in label services, sync licensing, or live booking
- Familiarity with AI/automation tools in a commercial context
