Job Description:
Job Title:
Assistant, Urban A&R
A little bit about our team:
The A&R Dept is on the frontline of finding, signing and developing new and current artist for Atlantic Records. This person will be working with top A&R executives and other key A&R personnel assisting on administrative tasks, research and at times creative.
Why this could be your next big break:
This person will have a lot of responsibilities in the fast paced dept that is A&R. He or she will be answering phones, handling expenses, managing schedule and travel for senior A&R. They may be asked to attend shows, monitor new artist, manage vast data of producers and songwriters spanning the entire globe as well as create decks and documents for artist presentations. While hours will be from 10-7pm, there is high probability that they will be active after hours. This is the definitive entry point for anyone interested in the creative music making process.
Here you'll get to:
• Complete general administrative duties: answer phones, calendar management, filing, scanning, etc.
• Coordinate artist travel, including flights, lodging, and ground transportation and the tracking of the associated spend.
• Process invoices, including the creation of vendors and coding of invoices in our financial systems.
• Correspond with vendors to issue purchase orders and resolve outstanding invoice issues.
• Arrange tracking, mixing, and mastering sessions.
• Draft transmittal letters and form legal documents, including Work For Hire and Remix agreements.
• Coordinate the creation of project numbers and royalty accounts with the Royalty Department.
• Assist supervisors with day to day management of recording projects.
Rockstar candidates will be able to:
• You have to know who the top creatives in our business are. Songwriters, producers and music mixers.
• You have to have a thorough understanding of the current and past climates in this genre. This includes rap music, r&b music and possibly the fledging Latin rap space.
• You have to be efficient in your duties. We don't need assistants, but right hands.
• You have to bring something to the table outside of duties that will help the act, project, roster or department be in advantages position.
• You have to know music charts activity thoroughly. At any given moment you will be asked ''Who's currently sitting at # 1'', ''How many albums has _____sold?''
It would be music to our ears if you also had:
• The ability to socialize and engage with creatives and managers.
• A clear understanding of the modern music landscape, especially the fast paced genre of Urban.
• Some knowledge of the recording processes a plus.
• This is a position for someone who likes to work behind the scenes and as part of a team.
• Prior assistant experience including answering phones, booking travel and handling T&E.
