Kobalt continues to grow 3x faster than the market and, as such, continuously focuses on scaling out its systems, products and services to cope with the increasing demand. One of the key opportunities for Kobalt is to address the masses of songwriters who are reasonably early in their careers and, as such, struggle to get representation from strong publishers. As most publishers depend on primarily manual processes, the service cost usually outweighs the revenue potential that those songwriters would generate. Through technology, Kobalt aims to reduce the cost of service for each individual songwriter, making it viable to support large numbers of songwriters at a marginal cost.

Who is the Catalogue Management & Data Quality Team?

The Catalogue Management & Data Quality team is focused on building and maintaining a scalable, automated and performant set of catalogue management tools for both Kobalt and amra. This includes tools for some core entities like songwriters, publishers, collecting societies, etc.

Our primary goal is that business users have a suite of best in class tools to administer our catalogue and serve other teams across the organisation that require information about them. We sit at the very core of Kobalts domain and interact with almost every other team in the organisation.
