Presto Music is looking for an enthusiastic music fan to join our team as a Jazz Product Coordinator. The role will support the day-to-day running and development of our online jazz department, helping to ensure that new releases across CD, vinyl, downloads and streaming are presented accurately and attractively on our website and in our apps.
You will work with product information, images, descriptions, track listings and genre classifications, as well as creating and publishing our weekly jazz newsletter and refreshing promotional content across the department. You will also liaise with labels, suppliers, PR agencies and artists to gather information and assets for new releases.
Our jazz department also covers blues, folk, global music and related genres including soul, funk, hip-hop and electronica, so an interest in a broad range of music would be beneficial.
You will also have opportunities to contribute to our editorial coverage, including new-release features and our Recording of the Week reviews. Previous professional writing experience is not essential, as support and guidance will be provided.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to take their first steps into the recorded music industry and learn more about how music is brought to market behind the scenes.
