The A Side: A Day In the Life

Universal Production Music, a division of Universal Music Publishing Group, is a leading global production music library, providing music for all commercial content platforms.

Universal Production Music is the world’s biggest production music library and has a heritage that has developed over decades into a diverse and comprehensive catalogue of unparalleled depth and breadth. Its ambition is to maintain its position as an industry leader. We pride ourselves on producing quality music and developing creative ideas to promote our library, composers, labels & innovative tools to our clients.

As a Junior Music Supervisor, your primary job will be to carry out music searches for Universal Production Music clients. You will be someone with a deep love of all music and a good ear for how music works to picture, plus an excellent ability to deconstruct any music brief or task given to you. Whilst confident in dealing with clients and efficient at multitasking you’re also happy to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment and most importantly be a great character to fit into a tight-knit team.

A big personality is needed to sell a big music library, so we want someone who will be constantly promoting the Universal Production Music UK repertoire and talking up our Music Supervision service. You’ll need to work in collaboration with our Partnerships team to entice our clients to send accurate & detailed music briefs for their upcoming productions.
