General Accountant (M/W)Believe

Before TuneCore, artists needed to be signed to a record label to sell their music online. In 2006, we democratized the industry by partnering directly with digital stores and streaming platforms to enable any musician to sell their songs worldwide while owning 100% of their music. Today, TuneCore is the leading music digital distribution service for independent artists worldwide and headquartered in Brooklyn, NY, TuneCore is owned by Paris-based, global digital music company Believe. The company is one of the fastest growing companies in the music industry and is actively investing in the continued growth of the business. 

We have made it our mission to best serve artists and labels at each stage of their development in the digital world. We are a company who cares deeply about our people and our creator community, advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion across all of our platforms and throughout our business. Innovation inspires and pushes us to work hard for our artists, while collaboration drives the way we work; as well as how we approach our company’s social responsibility.

Join TuneCore as we embark on the next phase of innovation in the music industry. Lead the team that will bridge artists’ unmet and evolving needs by building the tools and services that they can’t live without and make their lives better.
