Technical Application Specialist – Pro Audio
Yamaha Music Europe GmbH (UK Branch)
UK field-based | Full-time | £40,000–£45,000 plus bonus, company car and private medical cover
This is a great opportunity for someone who loves the technical side of professional audio, but also wants to be closer to the projects, people and decisions that bring systems to life.
Working as part of Yamaha’s UK Audio team, you will get hands-on with a huge variety of applications – from theatres and live venues to universities, corporate spaces, hospitality and unified communications.
You will work alongside our Business Development Managers, dealers and integrator network, helping turn opportunities into well-designed Yamaha solutions through system design, demonstrations, training, configuration and on-site technical support.
This is a varied, field-based role where no two weeks will look quite the same, and where your technical knowledge can have a genuine influence on the projects we win and how Yamaha technology is experienced by our customers.
Yamaha professional audio equipment is used across the UK in theatres, on tour, in houses of worship, schools and universities, broadcast studios, hotels and corporate meeting rooms. Our UK Audio team supports two key areas: Entertainment & Live Sound and Business Solutions in professional conferencing.
We are looking for a Technical Application Specialist to work alongside our Business Development Managers and dealer network. You will be the person they turn to when a project needs a system design, a demonstration set-up, a configuration check, or a training session delivered.
Importantly, the role does not carry an individual sales target. Your work supports the sales performance of both areas, and you will spend much of your week out with dealers, integrators and their customers rather than sitting behind a desk.

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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Job:

- Enough IT and networking knowledge – including switching, VLANs and PoE – to confidently work with a customer’s IT department
- Confidence in front of customers, whether running a demonstration, supporting a project or delivering training to a room full of dealers
- A proactive approach. Someone comfortable taking ownership, asking questions, sharing ideas, and acting when they see an opportunity to improve a project or support a customer
- A genuine interest in learning and taking on new challenges. You do not need to know everything on day one, but you should be curious and motivated to develop your knowledge across both live sound and business solutions
- Someone who takes pride in the quality of their work, communicates openly and can be relied upon to follow through on commitments to customers, dealers and colleagues
- Most importantly, someone with a genuine passion for audio and technology who enjoys working with others to turn good ideas into great customer experiences
