Empowering artists and labels is in the DNA of what we do here at Absolute. Our market leading approach supports clients releasing their music in the independent sector whilst allowing them to maintain full control of their copyrights. Our dedicated team is the backbone of our world-class service and we’re currently looking for the newest member of the Absolute family.

What We’re Looking For

The Digital team delivers thousands of digital releases to DSPs each year and maintains the Absolute catalogue across all platforms. We’re looking for a new Digital Coordinator to join the team to assist with digital production and retail marketing.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Scheduling and building releases using our in-house system Absolute Project.
