We develop our team as seriously as we develop our artists. We care about credible, lasting careers, and demand high standards from the work we put our name to.
The Role
We are looking for a talented A&R and Artist Liaison to drive our A&R and Artist Development layers at the agency. This is a unique, demanding, hands-on role that blends A&R strategy and industry liaison, requiring deep, demonstrable, practical expertise in music production and communication.
It will best suit a seasoned Electronic music Producer with an Electronic music industry network and experience in working in a professional capacity within it.

You will guide artists through the full demo-to-release lifecycle, help them hone and nurture their signature sound, and provide creative and technical mix and mastering mentorship that genuinely lifts the quality of their output. In spirit, you are the Executive Producer across the roster: the person who elevates artists at every level and consistently brings them closer to their milestones.
Alongside the audio work, you will discover talent that fits the agency at the right point in their career, manage demos and collaboration pitches, act as the liaison between clients, artists, management, and labels, and take real ownership of the role as it scales with us. We are looking for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset who is reliable, authoritative and able to adapt to the rapidly evolving demands of the industry.
