The Featured Artists Coalition (FAC) is the UK’s not-for-profit body representing the rights and interests of music artists. We are an inclusive community that advocates, educates, collaborates and researches on behalf of artists, coming together to provide a strong, collective voice within the industry and to governments domestically and abroad.

In an unprecedented time for the music industry, the FAC’s remit, membership and influence has grown as the organisation has become a campaigning voice on issues such as post-Brexit touring, artificial intelligence, grassroots touring and the music streaming economy. The FAC is a founding member of the Council of Music Makers and the International Artist Organisation, and sits as a member body on the boards of UK Music and LIVE, operating across numerous committees on initiatives and policies that impact artists.

The role:

The FAC is seeking a Membership and Communications Co-Ordinator to act as the first point of contact for the FAC’s artist members, handle the organisation’s comms channels (including social media, the FAC’s fortnightly newsletters and website) and assist with other general duties of the organisation.

The role provides the chance to gain experience working with the FAC’s Board and Artist Council, as well as the committees on which the FAC holds seats across the music industry.
