About Nettwerk Music Group

Founded in 1984, Nettwerk Music Group is a global independent record label with a deep history of purpose-led innovation.

We partner with an eclectic roster of artists to build meaningful, engaged fan bases and sustainable careers.

Headquartered in Vancouver, with a hybrid workforce of over 200 across the globe -and hubs in Los Angeles, London, Hamburg, Sydney, New York, Nashville, Berlin, Amsterdam, Toronto, and beyond- we benefit from a unified global team with diverse and rich, cross-market experience.

About the role

The Director, A&R is responsible for sourcing potential new and catalog artists for signing based on criteria set by Nettwerk's A&R leadership.

In addition, this role works closely with senior team members to coordinate project needs including collaboration with other Nettwerk departments and external parties.

What you'll do

  • Coordinate artist submissions for signing with senior A&R mentor / reporting manager.
  • Manage signed projects from set up through release to ensure effective collaboration with the label team.
  • Collaborate with senior A&R in day to day functions related to artists. (ie. writing sessions)
  • Manage and build a network within the music industry.

  • Sign and maintain an active roster with a minimum of fifteen projects.

Role Requirements

  • Experience working directly with artists, producers, music lawyers and writers
  • A 'rolodex' of contacts for outreach with managers, produces, writers
