The Role
Working closely with the senior supervisors; you would be an integral part of what is a small and close-knit team. The role is multi-disciplined working across all the different facets of the business – supervision, licensing and bespoke composition. There is a core music creative element but also requires a keen understanding of music rights, great communication, attention to administrative detail and the genuine ability to work as part of a team. You would be working with existing clients and also expected to help develop new business opportunities. As with every small business, the ability to multitask and work across a variety of different things is essential.
We offer some flexibility with hours and hybrid work but our preference is for employees to be in our Chiswick office 4 days a week. There also is an expectation you will be keen to attend evening gigs and networking events, as well developing in-person working relationships with clients and rightsholders.
The role will be best suited to someone with a great ear, outgoing personality, that is self-motivated with a strong drive to succeed. We are very open to applicants from both music and gaming industries. Our business has grown significantly over the last 10 years and there is a huge opportunity to become a key part of the team and grow with the business.
