  • Identify upcoming projects and sync briefs, matching them with relevant artists and tracks

  • Coordinate custom composition or re-recording requests with artists and producers

  • Maintain a database of active leads, deal flow, and reporting for internal tracking

  • Advocate for sync-forward artist signings in collaboration with A&R

Qualifications

  • Minimum 3 years experience in sync licensing, music supervision, or music publishing with a strong record of closed placements

  • Portfolio that demonstrates a range of successful sync deals across various media formats

  • Existing, active relationships with music supervisors, agencies, and brand-side decision-makers
