Mom + Pop is an established, NY-based indie label who is looking for an office manager and scout.

This opportunity touches the entirety of our label. The job does include a primary responsibility of answering phones. In addition, and of equal importance, the office manager responsibilities include ticket buys, working events/shows, mailings, production, and music marketing coordination/organization of assets. This gives you the chance to learn all the aspects of releasing a record, both digitally and physically.

As far as scouting, we are looking for someone who already has an insatiable appetite for discovering new music. Everything from living “indie” music in and around NY, to combing blogs, to researching artists that are building touring/airplay and growing an audience. The person for this job is already fundamentally doing it. We’d like to monetize something you already do in your sleep. Let us know what you like, listen to, recommend, have seen lately, etc. To be blunt, we’d like someone who is already hanging out at Shea Stadium or Death By Audio. 

Phone responsibility is hugely important to us because it’s the first impression of M+P, both visually and vocally. This person must show great energy and enthusiasm. Many companies our size don’t have this luxury and have automated phones. Organizational skills are paramount, as you are expected to safely store all media, press, cover art, etc, as well as keep track of our entire promotional stock. We appreciate a “list/systems” person; someone who is extremely meticulous, highly organized and yet passionate. 

We are looking for someone who will live and love this position. We don’t see this as a job; but to be frank, if you are in the small percentage of society who love what they do, it’s not a job…it’s a lifestyle and a gift. We are looking for that person who wants to work a Sunday night show, or jump a cab to JFK to deliver that acoustic guitar the singer forgot. We are looking for someone who wants to organize that lunch for the label pitch meeting with that band(s) who are the lifeblood of our label. This is an important position to us and the continued growth of Mom + Pop. 

Please don’t send a resume without a cover letter that is specific. If it’s generic, we won’t even read it. We want to hear about you, your background, what kind of music you enjoy, why you want to be in this business, etc. This job will be gone in a couple of weeks, so please let us know if you have any interest, because we certainly have a huge interest in filling it. Please send all cover letters/resume to officemanagermomandpop@gmail.com.
