Backed by some of the biggest names in music and growing fast, we’re seeking a music-obsessed A&R Coordinator for an unprecedented challenge: finding the best needles in a constantly-growing haystack.
Role Overview
With over 10 million original songs created by Boomy users, the velocity of new songs is only increasing. As the A&R Coordinator, your job is to discover the best songs on Boomy and find ways to help the artists behind those songs grow.
