Music Coordinator / Assisstant To Music Supervisor (6 Month Contract)

6 MONTH CONTRACT

Location : Remuera, Auckland (Hybrid approx25% remote)

Contract Term : Mid November 2025 - Mid May 2026

Pay Range : NZD $25,000 - $35,000 (total for 6 months, depending on experience)

ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you organised, flexible, music-obsessed, and thrive on creative chaos? We’re looking for an Assistant / Coordinator to join our small, tight-knit team. You’ll be working directly with me, the Music Supervisor and collaborating daily with our Los Angeles office.

You’ll help coordinate music across everything from the coolest NZ indiefilms to major US blockbusters, plus ad campaigns that reach millions. No two days are the same - some weeks are chill, others are full-on (especially during the SYNCPOSIUM 2026 conference in March).

If you love music, movies (music in movies) and being part of a small team that’s deeply connected to the international screen & music scene, then this is your dream job.

What You’ll Be Doing :

• Supporting the Music Supervisor across film and advertising projects in NZ and the US.
• Reading and breaking down scripts, writing a solid synopsis, offering your creative opinion, and identifying scenes that need or could benefit from music.
• Writing briefs and creating playlists
• Coordinating from start to finish and negotiating and tracking music licensing-experience is helpful but not mandatory; being thorough, organised, and ready to learn is essential.
• Managing music assets using DISCO (experience preferred, but training provided) and working entirely in Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive).
• Coordinating calls, meetings, travel bookings, and music-department logistics between NZ and LA - expect plenty of Zooms!
• Doing a hell of a lot of scheduling in different time zones
• Assisting with cue tracking, documentation, creating budgets and general admin support.
• Being present at recording sessions, meetings with directors and producers (and occasionally on set).
• Helping coordinate SYNCPOSIUM 2026 -guest and speaker relations, travel, panels, workshops, and event logistics.
• Often joining working lunches (we’ll shout those).
• Some weeks could be 25 hours; some maybe more than 40 and the week leading up to and during the conference may include some 12-hour days (balanced with dinners and cool activities.)
• You’ll be working with well-known talent, excitement is good; fanning out is not permitted. Confidentiality is everything, you’ll be asked to sign a strict NDA.
