- Make sure release schedules are complete and contain all the relevant links and information;
- Double checking releases are live on DSP’s in the correct way and shape;
- Proactively come up with ideas to improve our digital distribution setup and get our music distributed in the smartest and most time efficient way;
- Supporting other distribution operations processes and contributing ideas for improvement.
Who we are looking for:
- You’ve acquired a college degree and have relevant experience of working with music metadata and with a supply chain platform like FUGA;
- You are passionate about dance music and are well acquainted with – and an active user of – music streaming services;
- You are able to work accurately, meticulously (with great attention to details), efficiently and independently;
- You thrive under pressure;
- You are perfectly fluent in English;
- You live in or around Amsterdam or London.
Bonus points will be awarded to candidates with:
- Experience with mixing dance tracks and using audio editing software (Ableton etc.).
