About Vibration Music Group

Vibration Music Group is a boutique music publishing company focused on artist-forward releases and sync-ready catalog development, with a strong connection to film and narrative media through our sister companies. We work on a project-based, creator-friendly model and are currently in a foundation-building phase.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Music Business & Publishing Consultant for a short-term, project-based engagement to help tighten our publishing workflows, documentation, and deal structures. This is not an executive or ongoing advisory role — it is a clearly scoped consulting project with defined deliverables.

Key Responsibilities

Review existing publishing workflows and catalog organization
Provide guidance on split sheets, metadata standards, and registration processes
Sanity-check current publishing/service agreement templates (no legal drafting required)
Advise on project-based vs term-based publishing structures
Assess sync-readiness of the current catalog and identify gaps

Deliverables

A concise Publishing Workflow & SOP document (Google Doc or PDF)
Written recommendations on deal structures and operational best practices
A short Sync Readiness Memo outlining strengths, gaps, and next steps

Ideal Candidate

3–7 years of experience in music publishing, music business operations, or publishing administration
Background at an indie publisher, admin company, label, distributor, or music supervision company
Strong understanding of splits, metadata, PROs, and publishing workflows
Comfortable working independently and delivering clear documentation
Not seeking an executive title or long-term commitment

Important Notes

This is a $600 flat-fee engagement
Contractor role only (no employment benefits)
No A&R scouting, pitching, or artist management responsibilities
Opportunity for future project-based work if it’s a strong fit

To Apply:

Send a brief note outlining your relevant experience and 1–2 examples of similar work or responsibilities (links or descriptions are fine).
