Business Head — UAE / SAARC
Company: RTHYMS (rthyms.com) Location: Dubai, UAE (Head Office, on-site) Type: Full-time | Senior Leadership Reports to: Founder & CEO Scope: UAE, SAARC & Asia-Pacific expansion markets
About RTHYMS
RTHYMS is the world's first fully automated music label and end-to-end music ecosystem — creation, production, distribution, marketing, monetization, and career growth on one platform. Headquartered in Dubai and Mumbai, we're home to artists, labels, influencers, and agencies, backed by partnerships with the world's leading music companies, and built to take every artist from local story to global stage.
Dubai is our international head office and the launchpad for our next phase of growth. We're hiring a Business Head to own it.
The Role
As Business Head — UAE / SAARC, based at our Dubai head office, you will own RTHYMS's commercial growth across the UAE, SAARC, and expansion markets in Asia-Pacific. Your mandate spans two things:
- Grow the platform — onboard artists, labels, and marketing agencies (local and global) onto RTHYMS across countries.
- Grow the revenue — bring in business and hit sales KPIs across our three revenue engines: distribution, marketing, and brands.
This is a revenue-owning, market-building leadership role for someone who has run a music business across borders and knows the artists, labels, and marketing ecosystems of the region personally.
What You'll Own
- Artist, label & agency onboarding — Drive acquisition of artists, labels, influencers, and marketing agencies onto the RTHYMS platform — from local independent talent to global companies — across the UAE, SAARC, and beyond.
- Sales KPIs across all revenue lines — Own and deliver commercial targets across distribution (catalog and artist sign-ups), marketing (RTHYMS's automated ad and campaign products), and brands (sponsorships, brand partnerships, and integrated deals).
- Market expansion across Asia — Lead exploration and entry into new markets: build the playbook, identify local partners, and open RTHYMS in each territory.
- Regional ecosystem mastery — Direct, working knowledge of the music marketing companies, artists, labels, and their ecosystems in UAE, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, and other key markets — including the promoters, agencies, distributors, DSP partners, and media that move each scene.
- Partnerships & alliances — Structure deals with distributors, marketing agencies, media companies, and brand networks that accelerate onboarding and revenue in each market.
- Dubai head office leadership — Represent RTHYMS in the UAE market, build the regional team out of Dubai, and operate as the senior commercial leader for the international business.
What We're Looking For
- Proven leadership of a music revenue business — you have run (not just supported) a P&L in music: at a label, distributor, music marketing company, agency, or platform — with clear revenue outcomes you can point to.
- Long-standing, direct artist relationships — years of trusted, personal relationships with artists and their teams, built and maintained across borders.
- Cross-border operating experience — you have done business across multiple countries in this footprint (UAE, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia/NZ) and understand how each market's music economy actually works.
- A live network in the region — you can directly reach the key music marketing companies, labels, agencies, and artist ecosystems in the UAE, Bangladesh, Nepal, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and New Zealand — no cold starts.
- Commercial rigor — comfortable carrying sales KPIs, building pipelines, structuring deals, and reporting revenue against targets across multiple product lines.
- Builder's mindset — able to open new markets from zero, hire and lead a regional team, and operate at founder-speed out of our Dubai head office.
- Based in (or willing to relocate to) Dubai; frequent travel across the region.
Nice to Have
- Experience onboarding artists or labels onto a tech platform, distributor, or DSP.
- Existing relationships with global music companies, brand networks, and media groups active in MENA and Asia-Pacific.
- Familiarity with South Asian music and diaspora markets (Punjabi, Bollywood, Bangla, Nepali, and regional scenes) and their global audiences.
Why Join RTHYMS
- Own the international growth engine of one of the fastest-moving music companies in the region, from a Dubai head office positioned at the crossroads of South Asia, MENA, and the world.
- Sell a genuinely differentiated product — an automated, artist-first platform spanning distribution, marketing, and monetization — backed by partnerships with the world's leading music companies.
- Founding-level impact: your markets, your team, your number.
