Creative Manager

Full-time

Onsite • Stockholm, Sweden

Job Description

In your role as Creative Manager, you will work to identify opportunities for our songwriters, producers, and catalogues within TV, film, and advertising contexts. You will have daily client contact and work with music supervision—helping our clients find the best music to suit their needs. You’ll hold regular client meetings across the Nordic and Baltic countries, send targeted marketing communications, and participate in various client and industry events.

Another important task is to have in-depth knowledge of our catalogue—both local and international—as this is a major part of your everyday work from both a creative and administrative perspective. You will also work closely with our A&R department, serving as a natural link between our creative team, clients, and songwriters. You’ll report to the company’s Co-Director of Sync / Head of Creative – Film, TV & Advertising, and be based in our pleasant offices at Slussen.

Your Main Responsibilities Include:

Presenting and placing our music with key clients in film, TV, and advertising.

Proactively pitching and promoting our songwriters’ music to clients—new releases, catalogue material, and commissioned works.

Regular client meetings in the Nordics and Baltics with key clients—as well as attending concerts.

Maintaining and developing existing client relationships and staying continuously updated on the film, TV, and advertising industries to identify new opportunities.

Handling administration and rights clearance of copyrighted music, including samples, translations, and more.

Maintaining close contact and relationships with songwriters and management teams.

Personal Qualities

A hybrid between sales and creative work – the main focus is getting clients to use our music.

Social, attentive, positive, and generally service-oriented with a persuasive personality.

Motivated by solving problems, while inspired by the magic that can be created between image and music.

Passionate about creativity but also structured, responsible, and willing to go the extra mile.

Energized by meeting new people and moving comfortably across different settings.

Curious about and/or knowledgeable in the media and music industries, with a strong interest in feature films, TV series, and advertising.

A passionate love of music is a given!

Education and Experience

Fluent in both English and Swedish – a large part of our communication, both internally and externally, takes place in English, so it’s essential that you can handle it both verbally and in writing. It’s an advantage if you also speak Norwegian, Danish, and/or Finnish.

Strong skills in Microsoft Office.

Applicants must have completed secondary education and have work experience in media or a similar role. It’s a plus if you already have a network within the TV, film, and advertising world.

University or vocational studies in media or communication are considered a merit.
