Job Summary:
Universal Music Enterprises is currently seeking a Production Manager to support the Film & TV creative team in all aspects
of audio asset management, client & label relations and website maintenance. The ideal candidate will be highly organized, able to juggle multiple projects under tight deadlines and possesses a keen attention to detail. A high level of decorum and discretion is required while handling confidential information and while interacting with senior executives inside the company and valued clients outside of the company. A ''can-do'' attitude is essential.
The ideal candidate is a walking music encyclopaedia who obsesses on collecting, organizing and sharing music. He/she sees him/herself as a ''tastemaker'' – someone who is the first to discover new music. The ideal candidate loves organizing his/her audio collection into playlists and can ''music supervise'' any event, occasion or road trip. The ideal candidate most likely knows who engineered the eighth Beatles studio album because he/she has been obsessively reading liner notes since third grade.
