Job Summary
Monstercat is seeking a highly motivated, detail-oriented, and enthusiastic Sync & Partnerships Coordinator to join our team on a 6-month contract as part of a parental leave coverage plan. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career professional or recent graduate to gain hands-on experience at the intersection of music, gaming, and internet culture at one of the most influential dance labels in the world.
You’ll be joining the team that placed more than 150 songs in video games in 2024, including major partnerships with titles like Rocket League, Beat Saber, and Fortnite. As part of this cross-functional business development team, you will work closely with internal departments - A&R, Marketing, Operations, Finance and Legal - to help conceptualize and deliver compelling, creative, and impactful partnership campaigns. While this team manages licensing placements across all types of audio-visual media (including TV, Film, and Advertising), the strategic focus continues to be on gaming.
Ideal candidates are passionate about electronic music, fluent in its many subgenres, and deeply familiar with video games and internet culture. You’ll spend much of your time helping partners find the perfect song for their campaign, so a strong instinct for musical fit is essential. An existing familiarity with the
Monstercat catalogue is an asset, but not required. Further, you’ll support the deal making process, ensuring that our artists receive fair compensation for the use of their creative work, while still delivering a compelling value proposition to clients. Your time will be split between managing inbound requests, servicing existing partners & campaigns, and helping us find new partners to build with.
This position reports to the Sync & Partnerships Manager and offers direct exposure to Monstercat’s senior leadership team and President. The role is fully remote within Canada, with the potential to evolve into a full-time position. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds and experiences, especially those from underrepresented communities in the music industry.
This is a full-time and remote, 6-month contract opportunity to cover a team member’s maternity/parental leave.
