Partner with printers, manufacturers, mastering studios, and the UMG supply chain to ensure accuracy, timing, and quality in all deliverables.
Manage key aspects of the production process — including artwork prep, pre-press, mastering, and delivery — while keeping creative intent and execution aligned.
Track and coordinate production timelines and milestones across multiple releases, ensuring projects stay on schedule.
Explore and recommend new materials, packaging, and production techniques that elevate the fan experience.
Assist with digital companion releases, ensuring alignment between physical and digital versions.

A creative production professional with 5–7 years of experience in music, entertainment, or design-driven product development.
Passionate about music, creativity, and craftsmanship, with an appreciation for legacy and innovation.
Knowledgeable in physical manufacturing, printing, design, pre-press, and mastering workflows, with high attention to detail.
Experienced in digital production and asset management, ensuring smooth coordination across platforms.
An excellent communicator and collaborative team member who thrives in a creative, fast-paced environment.
Highly organized, solution-oriented, and committed to delivering quality at every step.
Proven ability to deliver exceptional physical releases that engage audiences and elevate artists.
A balanced mix of creative thinking and technical understanding.
Curiosity for new production methods, sustainable materials, and innovative packaging.
Familiarity with UMG systems or similar production workflows is a plus.
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience preferred.

You’ll play a vital role in shaping how fans experience some of the most influential music ever made — bringing catalog to life through creativity, detail, and innovation.
Your work will help connect classic recordings with new generations, proving that great music never stops evolving.
This is a chance to contribute to projects that honor the past while pushing the boundaries of what catalog can be.
