Udio, the AI music generator backed by a16z music investments and artists like will.i.am and Common, is hiring a Head of Artist Partnerships. The role pays up to $350,000 plus equity and reports directly to leadership. Udio wants someone to drive artist adoption of its platform, negotiate deals with labels and publishers, and represent artist interests internally. The original Udio job posting lists the application deadline as March 12, 2026.

“Udio’s mission is to champion musicians and expand how fans engage with their favorite music and artists,” the company states in its job listing. This hire follows Udio’s recent settlement with Warner Music and the Universal Music Udio partnership announced in late 2025. Both deals require artist onboarding infrastructure.

AI music companies now compete for music industry veterans who can bridge tech and artist relations. Warner Music’s AI hiring push and ByteDance artist partnership roles show a clear pattern. Udio’s early backing from Steve Stoute’s UnitedMasters and will.i.am signaled this direction years ago. The company is now building the team to deliver on those relationships.”
