**What is Lush Music?**

You would be hard pushed to pick up a Lush product that hadn’t been inspired in some part by music. You could say that music is one of their essential ingredients.

Interacting and working alongside musicians rather than just listening to them started with our Spa treatments. Music was to play an important role and become a central part of the therapy, creating the perfect soundtrack to massages, scrubs and soaks. All of Lush’s Spa treatments have bespoke soundtracks created by the ever expanding community of musicians who have become part of the Lush family.

**The placement**

This placement will support Lush Music, supporting projects such as new Lush music releases. The work is varied and requires a blend of a passion for music, alongside a keen eye for detail. We are looking for an individual who is interested in music, or developing their knowledge in the music industry and is passionate about administrative work.

The work will include tasks such as (coordinating incoming music requests from across the business, artist communications, file management support on project development and launches). You will work alongside our Music Expert representing our musical side of the business, helping to facilitate the smooth running of projects when needed.

If successful for the placement this will be in addition to your current role, but any hours spent on Lush Music will be recharged and will not come out of your current team's budget.
