A little bit about our team:

The department consists of five specific areas of responsibility, all ultimately focused on the production and distribution of WMG products. Research and Development helps define new product specifications and processes for production; Product Data Management is responsible for defining product data standards and keying data into systems; Studio and Archive Operations delivers production masters for physical and digital manufacturing and archives the company master assets; Digital Production provides day-to-day production support for WMG labels' digital releases and oversees production of digital assets and Digital and Mobile Operations manages the distribution of digital products to retail partners globally.

Your role:

In this role, you will work with one of the largest tape libraries in the world ensuring the protection, preservation, and production of tapes that source some of the most iconic albums and unheard rarities in all of music history. You'll work with both librarians and engineers, directly handle and distribute master tapes and other audio sources to archive vendors, and ensure the accuracy of production and preservation through research, document creation, and spreadsheet & database maintenance.

Here you'll get to:

• You will ensure that the proper tapes are being archived for a given release.
• You will locate final product and verify that all metadata is correct in relation to tapes pulled.
• You will create Archive Packing Lists detailing correct Artist, Title, Label, Sel #, Track Titles, Source File #, and any other pertinent information needed for each release, providing these to the archive vendors for reference and inclusion in the archives.
• You will update the Transfer Tracker document for archives needed for current production requests, including the date sent for archive, where it was sent and when it is needed by.
• You will schedule pick-ups of archive supplies and tapes and address sourcing issues with vendors as they arise (finding alt sources if tapes are problematic, etc.)
• You will correct errors in our Master Library System (MLS) database based on research, tape box information or additional information provided by archive vendors working with the tapes.
• You will assist non-archive librarians as needed.

About you:

• You are detail-oriented
• You enjoy problem solving and have initiative
• You have composure and interpersonal savvy
• You preferably have a college degree or equivalent work experience
• You maintain a service orientation and costumer focus

We'd love it if you also had:

• Familiarity with Excel and navigating databases
• Knowledge of music industry processes past and present: Tracking/Mixing/Mastering/Duplication
• Familiarity with audio recording media format
