Wave’s mission is to unite humanity through immersive 3d entertainment. Our vision is to be the live entertainment hub of the metaverse: a place where anyone can attend, perform live, or be a part of a 24/7 live entertainment community. No matter where or who you are, our platform welcomes you—joining on mobile, streaming a 2D social video, or immersing you in 3D VR. Virtual shows (“Waves”) are the heartbeat of our platform. Unlike other virtual experiences, Waves are unique because they happen live, enabling real-time interaction and connection between performers and audiences.

As the Manager of Music Partnerships and Marketing, you will drive artist and creator relationships while supporting marketing initiatives to amplify our platform. You’ll work closely with artists, labels, and creators, managing projects from concept to completion. A key part of the role is project management—overseeing timelines, deliverables, and ensuring artist requirements and marketing deadlines are met through clear communication, sharing information, managing expectations, and requesting clarifications as needed. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced live production environment, spending 50% of your time on-ground at our LA studio and the rest working remotely. This role offers significant growth and learning opportunities at the forefront of immersive live entertainment, with plenty of upside potential and the chance for contract-to-perm conversion.
