A&R Director

About the job

We are seeking a A&R Representative (Director). This position will hold senior ability over his or her department. The A&R Director will work to scope out and hire local and international talent. The Rep may find these artists in a variety of ways, including holding auditions to locate the very best talent. This can be a stressful job because many people believe that they have the talent necessary to make it as a recording artist, but it is up to the A&R rep to tell them the truth and to determine if they will have a career in this field or not.

The Rep will be responsible for finding talent and then may play an active role in ensuring that they actually record an album, the rep managing the artists along the way.

Not only do A&R reps work to find talent, but they also work to find music for existing recording artists. In the instances in which the A&R rep work's with the artist, they act as a liaison between the recording artist and the record label. The rep will be responsible for ensuring that the right music is selected for the recording artist to continue to be successful.

The main mission of an A&R rep is to continue securing successful musical artists who record hit albums. The more talent that an artist and repertoire representative can sign and the more hit albums that are produced as a result of these efforts, the more professionally successful that A&P rep will be.
