HMV have announced some changes in their Music Department, with the creation of two new jobs, Commercial Manager (Music) and Product Manager (Music), both of which will report to the recently appointed Head Of Music, Gary Rolfe. The first job will be done by Rudy Osorio, the company's Specialities & Classical Manager since 2004, while the latter will be done by Melanie Armstrong, currently Rock & Pop Manager.
Additionally, there will be three genre managers reporting to Mel - Steve Owen will remain in his current position as Dance & Urban Manager, Allen Webb will move from his current role as Irish Product Manager to become Rock & Pop Manager, and Tony Shaw will take over the Specialities & Classical Manager role.
