WE’RE LOOKING FOR AN AMBITIOUS MUSIC COORDINATOR TO JOIN OUR GROWING SYNC TEAM. YOU’LL PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN MANAGING AND ORGANISING OUR EXTENSIVE CATALOGUE AND COMPOSER AND ARTIST ROSTER, WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE TEAM TO LAND SYNC PLACEMENTS.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR? 

You are obsessed with visual media, music, and cultural trends. A self-starter, you’ll be keen to take initiative, and be a good problem solver who wants to make the right music for the right placement work for our team and clients every single time.

You’ll enjoy meeting new people, maintaining relationships, and are confident and enthusiastic about the music and sync process. You’ll also understand the importance of metadata, cue sheets, and music reporting.

You’ll oversee the daily operations of our music catalogue, refreshing our monthly playlists and coordinating the sourcing and delivery of tracks when we get briefs through. You’ll also be part of the team responsible for bringing briefs and projects in. Ideally you already have lots of strong contacts and experience with pitching music.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Music Searches and Playlists: Collaborate with clients and team members to provide music recommendations for projects, creating playlists or suggesting a custom piece that aligns with creative briefs, budgets and clearance requirements.
• Catalogue Management: Organise and maintain the one-stop music library, ensuring accurate metadata, categorisation, and accessibility of music tracks on various platforms, including Disco and BMAT, along with other sites as requested.
• Creative Client Support: 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 with us for new custom briefs, briefing composers and artists and assisting with delivery of new tracks.
• Social Media & Marketing: Bring ideas for our new social media channels, coordinate mailers and new release info.
• Business Development & Events: Attend industry events, network 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 working with the very best music and creatives in the business.
• Administrative Tasks: Assist with the preparation of cue sheets, metadata spreadsheets and tracking sync placements.
• Creative Collaboration: Liaise with composers, artists, and rights holders to ensure smooth delivery of assets for sync opportunities. Request album cover artwork and assist with album, playlists and track titles.

Skills and Qualifications:

• Experience: 1-2 years experience in a client facing role within sync licensing, music supervision, or a related field preferred.
• 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.
• Attention to Detail: Meticulous about data entry, licensing documentation, and project tracking.
• Communication Skills: Strong verbal and written communication skills, with a talent for building and maintaining relationships.
• Tech Proficiency: Experience with Disco and BMAT is a plus.
• 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.
