Sizzer - Senior Music Producer
Sizzer's core objective is to solidify itself as a global leader in creative music agency services. To continue advancing in this direction, we are actively seeking an experienced Senior Music Producer who aspires to produce the music that will further elevate our industry standing.
We firmly believe that exceptional advertising has the potential to engage, inspire, and profoundly touch people. Harnessing the power of music, we empower our creative partners to accomplish precisely that. Our ultimate goal is to encourage a transformation in people's perception of commercial creativity and have them "unhate advertising."
Backed by a strong team of supervisors and coordinators, you’ll produce the music we work on and provide our clients and composers with creative and musical guidance. With your great taste and eye for musical quality, you’ll help Sizzer further establish its position as the most creative and influential music agency.
Furthermore, within Sizzer, Music Culture holds an integral position.
Do you possess the capability to make a transformative impact on the music landscape of tomorrow? Can you effectively bridge the gap between Music culture and the world of advertising?
Then please read on.
About the job
You’ll oversee the creative process of the music productions that are assigned to you. From briefing to final edit: you’ll manage the production
You’ll talk to clients, directors, editors and other stakeholders in the creative process. You’re able to lead the conversation and your authority and charisma can make a positive impact
With the musical vocabulary you possess, you’ll decipher client briefings and translate them into musical ideas for our composers. You’ll give them a proper musical briefing with your ideas to make the video come to life with great music
You’ll keep track of the progress of the productions that are assigned to you and always make sure that all - impossibly tight - deadlines are met and every composer and team member is on the top of his or her game
As a Senior in the team you’ll be an inspiration to other team members. You’ll be a coach and a mentor for the team and are not afraid to take the lead when necessary
You’re the guardian angel of the quality our company is known for and make sure that everything we produce meets the highest standards
You’ll edit music productions under the video’s we’re working on and make sure that the optimal impact is made. Wrong groove, chord progression or harmony? You’ll instruct the composer to fix this or lay down a better groove yourself
You’ll sometimes represent Sizzer at events, (industry) drinks and parties

You understand what instruments are used in songs, you know common chord progressions, you have a good ear for melodies, and the ability to dive into certain genres / cultures to understand musical characteristics

As a music producer you are a musician at heart. You know your way around an instrument, and maybe even jammed in a band or two
You are social, a team player, and you are able to bring energy to an environment. You know how to support the people in your team
