Senior Music Producer
Description
Hi, nice to meet you.
We’re Sizzer. An international music partner with offices in Amsterdam and Berlin. To strengthen our music production department, we’re currently looking for a Senior Music Producer. As a Senior Music Producer you’re in charge of the creative process of the music & sound productions we create for our clients. This is a key position within our company that offers the opportunity to put your stamp on the output we create for our clients and to produce content that is seen by millions around the world.
About the role:
- You’ll oversee the creative process of the music productions that are assigned to you. From briefing to final edit: you’ll manage the production
- With the musical vocabulary you possess, you’ll decipher client briefings and translate them into musical ideas for our composers. You’ll give them a proper musical briefing with your ideas to make the video come to life with great music
- You’ll keep track of the progress of the productions that are assigned to you and always make sure that all - impossibly tight - deadlines are met and every composer is on the top of his or her game
- You’re the guardian angel of the quality our company is known for and make sure that everything we produce meets the highest standards
- You’ll edit music productions under the video’s we’re working on and make sure that the optimal impact is made. Wrong groove, chord progression or harmony? You’ll instruct the composer to fix this or lay down a better groove yourself
- You’ll sometimes represent Sizzer at events, (industry) drinks and parties
Requirements
- Several years’ experience as a music producer - with proven experience with productions for moving images - is a must for this role
- You’re available for a full-time (plus) job
- You have a broad technical knowledge of music production and are highly proficient in at least 1 DAW. You have a proper understanding of basic plugins
- Since a great deal of the job will include handling tight deadlines, working with eccentric composers and deciphering client feedback, you’ll possess nerves of steel
- You have a good understanding of music in general. You understand what instruments are used in songs, you know common chord progressions, you have a good ear for melodies, and the ability to dive into certain genres / cultures to understand musical characteristics
- As a music producer you are a musician at heart. You know your way around an instrument, and maybe even jammed in a band or two
- Besides your love for music, you should have a keen interest in film as well. Add in a passion for advertising and you're golden
It’s possible you graduated cum-laude from a conservatory, but you could have also learned the ropes during your world-tours, trashing dressing rooms and forgetting setlists. You might be all punk on the outside, but on the inside, we expect you to run like clockwork. In other words, we already expect a certain level of knowledge and skills to be present. But don’t be disheartened. We find character, talent, and attitude equally as important!
Benefits & Perks
The chance to be part of a fast-paced, internationally operating music agency that holds a great reputation in the markets we’re active in. Next to a primary salary and other competitive terms, we offer a working environment where music is always close (and sometimes a bit too loud). ‘Music’ is not just a business to us – we are a group of misfits with strong ideas and opinions about the broader cultural context in which we operate.
Do you want to part of our kick-ass (if we can say so ourselves) team? Then don’t hesitate to send in your application! Please do so before the 8th of October. Don’t forget to include your portfolio and resume with your application. Also, please let us know which 5 albums you’d bring to a deserted island!
We’re assisted by The Music Recruiters for the selection of the candidates and the first interview round. An assessment and reference check might be part of our selection process.
This job has expired but you can still explore other open positions from the same company or find new ones from our amazing selection.
