Job Description

As a Music Producer, you’ll be responsible for running music and sound productions from start to finish. Whether it’s producing sound for an advertising campaign, broadcast branding package, holistic sonic branding project, or musical activation, you’re the one turning whatever is on the client’s whiteboard to life.

As a part of our Production department, you’re reporting to the Managing Director. You’ll work independently and as part of a team, either receiveing briefs or designing the briefs yourself. You’ll source the right talent (composers, sound designers, musicians and vocalists), build and manage a local roster of music professionals, and brief them to produce original music and sound design. Conversely, projects that require commercial music or talent will see you collaborate with rights holders or artist management to source commercial talent.

You have past experience in advertising/film production and/or in the music industry. You get a buzz off the industry and are keen to attend Massive events and other industry-related events and get-togethers.

You’re a supernova of energy, passion and enthusiasm for music and life in general. People enjoy working with you because you bring fresh ideas to the table and always have a proactive solution to any challenge. You’re always one step ahead of the game: that’s why your friends and frenemies look to you for inspiration. Having you around is fun, which is great because all work and no play isn’t our cup of tea (or any other drink you usually go for).

Responsibilities

• Overseeing bespoke music production across campaign, film, and sonic branding projects as the main interface with our talent-side suppliers, including composers, artists, musicians, sound engineers, and recording studios
• Relationship management of existing and new accounts, especially within advertising agencies and production companies, and using these contacts to research and generate new business opportunities
• Facilitating sonic branding, bespoke composition and music production with creative guidance
• Delivering high-quality work and always on time
• Controlling project finances and timelines
• Organizing and attending meetings with clients
• Delivering presentations and research materials
• Successfully implementing company policy
• Contributing to the development of the wider team

Skills & Requirements

• Experience in bespoke music production for advertising or branding, or equivalent industry experience in a music production or project management role, or in film production related to music and sound
• Experience in music supervision, sourcing and licensing music from labels/publishers
• Comfortable navigating and working within a DAW (preferably Logic and/or Ableton)
• Music production and video editing skills? That’s your daily bread
• Good understanding of the cultural landscape in the MENA region, specifically relating to music – from the instruments involved to technicalities such as scales (you can go deeper than a double harmonic major) or lyrical and sung dialects
• Proven ability to maintain and develop client relationships
• You’re a dab hand at translating creative ideas into musical terms
• You’re fluent in Arabic, both speaking and reading

Massive Attitude

• Your work attitude is above and beyond
• You eat, breathe and sleep* music (*hopefully not while working)
• You are social and helpful not only to your colleagues but to everyone who comes our way
• You challenge yourself and the team to set the bar a little higher each time
• You like to be present at our Massive events and other industry-related events & get-togethers

Employment

Full time. What do you get in return on top of our financial package? Inspiration, knowledge, and career development. You’ll also be working with an international bunch of remarkable musically- infused individuals.
