Our candidate will be looking to join a unique label environment which is a small team of people who work very closely to present the artistic vision of our roster. This person will have knowledge of the current state of the music business and its evolution and will be able to balance the goals of moving our artists and label into the next phase of the business while being certain to honor our label's rich legacy.

• Liaise with artist management on a regular basis to strategize, address artist concerns, procure marketing approvals and capitalize on viable opportunities

• Assist in creating materials for the WEA sales staff and independent retailers, as well as coordinating mailings to everyone.
• Monitor and evaluate the overall progress of our artists and their projects and disseminate information to the various departments and management.
• Create and maintain weekly artist one sheets.
• Work closely with the WEA staff to help build our visibility at physical retail, in particular independent record stores.

About you:
• Be creative and driven
• Know the history and catalogue of Nonesuch and have a passion for the diverse genres of music that we work with.
• Feel confident speaking with artists and managers.
• Be a self-starter but also not afraid to ask questions
• Be willing to do the research on ideas as to how to market and promote our artists as well as how we can move our business forward.
• They should feel confident in speaking about their ideas and taking the lead on things.

It would be music to our ears if you also had:
• A knowledge and appreciation of Classical music and Jazz.
• A knowledge base and creativity about streaming strategy.
• Experience working with music retail.
