Job Title: Junior Manager, A&R and Content Development
A Little Bit About Our Team
Global Catalogue is both the communication centre between Warner Music Catalogue labels and International Territories around the world, and the paramount frontier for marketing artists in the streaming era. We work closely with all labels and artists under the Recorded Music division to develop new catalogue opportunities in marketing, A&R, content development, and consumption, and then convert our findings into new strategies that are deployed across the company to our Catalogue teams around the world.
With catalogues from great heritage acts such as Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Phil Collins, The Doors, Aretha Franklin, Joni Mitchell, Madonna, Prince, New Order, to more current artists such as Wale, Jess Glynne, Clean Bandit, Muse, and many more…the Warner Music catalogue is a rich and varied one that requires constant management and reinvention.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This can vary from reimagining a classic album, crafting and promoting a playlist managed by us or encouraging consumption of key tracks on streaming services, through to maintaining artist profile with digital suppliers.
