Music and entertainment have the unique power to transcend cultures, languages, and borders. Promoting it, however, has become increasingly complex. Artists and creators around the world compete for fans’ attention, while consumption is fragmented across hundreds of services and platforms. So how do you connect to all of them at once, as simply as possible?

That’s where Linkfire comes in. The technology provides major labels and over 80,000 creators with the intuitive design tools, effortless automations, and unparalleled insights they need to grow their careers, while seamlessly connecting billions of fans to their favourite content. Linkfire is a smart link platform for the music marketing space, helping music marketers create intelligent links that route fans to the music they love within the apps they love — automatically. One link can provide detailed information on user behaviour: one link to rule them all.

Since 2014, Linkfire has become a trusted partner to the music industry’s biggest names, counting Spotify, Apple, and Facebook among its clients, as well as thousands of soon-to-be biggest names. Linkfire has a global team with offices in Copenhagen (HQ), New York, and Los Angeles. Underpinning the culture are collaborative, agile processes and something they like to call the “Nordic spirit” — working together with transparency, respect, and honesty. And that goes for the way they do business too.

UX, Engineering & Business

As a Senior AdTech Product Manager, you will be situated at the intersection of UX, engineering, and business.
