Frequency is looking for an A&R Scout

By translating music into impactful visual campaigns and connecting groundbreaking artists with a global fanbase, Frequency prioritizes quality over quantity. As a genre-transcending label, they collaborate with unique talent to ensure creative visions are realized and shared with listeners worldwide.

About the job
What if you could combine your sales and research skills with a love for music, concerts and festivals? At record label Frequency we’re looking for an A&R Scout.
ABOUT THIS ROLE
As our A&R Scout, you’ll be responsible for finding new artists and driving the creative and commercial direction of our roster. We’re looking for a salesperson with research skills, someone who thinks in creative solutions and finds the gaps in the music market.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
- Scouting and outbound prospecting with a strong lead focus will be a major focus of your role, identifying emerging artists (Spotify, TikTok, YouTube, live shows) and relation opportunities globally.
- Conduct market research to identify trends, market shifts and cultural movements to spot opportunities for Frequency’s artist roster.
- Manage and optimize the scouting process by continuously following up with prospects and ensuring connection throughout the A&R pipeline.
- Engage with potential artists to understand their needs and present Frequency’s ideas and solutions to enhance release strategy.
- Maintain expert knowledge of Frequency label’s vision and leverage this in artist conversations.
- Collaborate closely with the team but operate independently to drive your own results.
