Details of Role: 

Qu Junktions is an artist management company and live music booking agency
established in 2004. Based in Bristol but working internationally, as managers
and agents we represent a diverse roster of 60+ cutting-edge musicians and
artists. Our work encompasses a wide spectrum of activity spanning
DIY/underground scenes through to larger scale cultural practices. While our
main place of work is in an informal, round table office environment in
Bristol, we also work closely with team members based in London, Berlin and
Copenhagen.

This is a rare opportunity to join our small, committed team in Bristol.
Working with our artist managers and booking agents, the successful applicant
will support the careers of the artists we represent on a day-to-day basis –
from the process of making/releasing records, publishing their music, tour
logistics and advancing, press and marketing, through to accounting.
This would be an ideal position for someone looking to take their first steps
in the music industry. Although the job involves a wide range of
administrative and inter-personal tasks, we do not expect applicants to have
prior experience of carrying these out in a workplace. Dedicated time for
training and development will be built into the role, and for the right
candidate there is potential for supported growth within the organisation.

- Organising immigration documents/visas
- Booking travel and accommodation

- Basic accounting (invoicing, royalty tracking, applying for tax documents)

Personal Attributes we are looking for

- A passion for new music
- Cultural understanding of the musicians/artists we work with
- Experience working with musicians/artists in some capacity (however a track
record working within the music industry or similar organisations is not
essential)
- Hunger to learn new skills on the job
- Ability to work proactively and prioritise tasks efficiently
- High level of attention to detail
- Sensitivity around handling confidential information and personal details
- Good communication skills in person and on email
