About Business Solutions
Business Solutions partners with our label, marketing, and release planning teams to build the tools and workflows that help them run more effectively. We operate as a trusted internal partner, not an order-taking function. Our work is guided by three principles: Fail Fast: test ideas quickly, and don't let perfection get in the way of progress; Learn Quickly: treat every iteration as a chance to learn, document, and adapt; and Move Forward: keep the work, and the people we support, moving.
Role Summary
The Senior Business Solutions Specialist is the trusted day-to-day partner for a dedicated portfolio of business units spanning US and international markets, owning the full solution lifecycle from discovery through delivery, while mentoring the broader NYC Specialist team.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary point of contact for your assigned business units
- Run discovery, scoping, and requirements-gathering sessions independently
- Build and maintain business systems, automations, and workflows supporting label, marketing, and release operations
- Write specs and requirements for integrations with internal Sony Music systems
- Lead data migrations for assigned business units
- Test solutions with end users and incorporate feedback quickly
- Share best practices with the broader team, contributing repeatable patterns and playbook content to support other junior Specialists
- Escalate architecture/platform-level questions to the Architect
- Identify opportunities to centralize and standardize workflows across assigned BUs
- Lead enablement and change-adoption efforts within your portfolio – training business users to use AI tools (e.g., Claude Cowork) to solve their own recurring problems, not just handing off finished solutions
- Define success metrics for initiatives in your portfolio and use adoption/usage data to evaluate outcomes and guide iteration
- Ensure initiatives align with governance, privacy, security, and compliance requirements, partnering with the Architect and relevant stakeholders (Legal, InfoSec) as needed
Required Qualifications - 5-8+ years in business/systems analysis, solutions consulting, or enterprise no-code/low-code platform administration, with the judgment to build solutions that are secure, scalable, and well-governed
- Demonstrated ability to run point independently with senior business stakeholders
- Strong requirements-gathering, process-mapping, and documentation skills
- Experience with data migrations
- Comfortable managing multiple concurrent projects and business units
- Extensive A.I. experience using tools such as Claude Cowork, ChatGPT Work, Google Gemini
- Basic scripting, SQL, or automation-logic familiarity
- Tool-agnostic and adaptable to learning new platforms as workflows expand
- Experience leading change adoption or user enablement efforts within a business function
- Comfortable defining measures of success and using data to evaluate outcomes
Nice to Have (not required)
- Music industry experience; media & entertainment adjacency (rights, royalties, metadata) a plus
- Airtable certification or deep hands-on Airtable expertise (our current core platform)
