We are looking for someone with a minimum of 3 years experience pitching music for sync. This role will include all aspects of music supervision, managing the music needs of client campaigns from initial briefings through to final delivery, via research, creative searches, original composition and licensing.
You’ll enjoy meeting new people, maintaining relationships, and are confident and enthusiastic about the music production and sync process.

Key Responsibilities:
- Music Consultancy: Work closely with music supervisors, producers, and creatives to understand their music needs and deliver suitable music options proactively to help us land sync placements for the current catalogue. You’ll also work across new custom briefs.
- Strong network: Established connections and existing clients within the creative media industries via agencies, production companies, producers and directors and confident in pitching for new business.
- Business Development & Events: Attend industry events, network, generate new business, and maintain client relationships. Help promote catalogue tracks to clients by curating new and seasonal playlists for pitching and participating in music showcases, listening sessions, and pitch meetings.
- Music Research: Stay updated on emerging artists, new releases, and music trends to ensure our catalogue remains fresh and relevant and that we’re filling any gaps and spotting any trends.
- A&R: Growing our artist pool and talent roster so we can fill a wider pool of music briefs.
- Pitching: Pro-actively look for opportunities to pitch the current roster.
- Creative Collaboration: Liaise with composers, artists, and rights holders to ensure smooth communication and delivery of assets for sync opportunities. Request album cover artwork and assist with album, playlists and track titles.
Skills and Qualifications:
- Experience: 3+ years experience in a client facing role within sync licensing, music supervision, or a related field.
- Commercial Awareness: You love the music business and exploring new models for revenue, taking the initiative to drive change.
- Understanding of Sync Licensing: Knowledge of copyright law, music publishing, and the rights clearance process for film, TV, and ads.
- Musical Awareness: Strong understanding of different music genres and their potential uses in visual media.
- Creative Thinking: Ability to interpret creative briefs and suggest music that aligns with project themes and tones.
- Ability to multitask: Ability to juggle a wide range of projects independently.
- Team Player: Be a team player. Go above and beyond when the team needs extra support, and vice versa; we’ll be sure to do the same for you.
Why Work with Us?
- Be part of a great team where individuality and creativity are encouraged.
- Work on exciting projects with renowned clients across various industries.
- Competitive salary and benefits package
