We proactively pitch and place stories and feature pieces, manage press inquiries, write internal and external announcements, prepare executive remarks, manage the company's social media accounts, host internal and external events, create advertising, and much more. We are a small but mighty team who are dedicated to amplifying and articulating the great work the company has accomplished. And of course, we share a passion for the music artists, songwriters, and labels we support.

Why this could be your next big break:

We seek a Senior Writer to support the department's writing activities.

The candidate will write with clarity, voice, and context, and continually look for new ways to keep content and messaging fresh and engaging.
