  • Musical training strongly preferred (piano/keyboard proficiency is a plus).
  • Excellent communication, organization, and collaboration skills.

  • Passion for helping artists create music that inspires, encourages, and reflects Christian values.


Preferred Experience

  • Potential production fees, master participation, and long-term growth opportunities.
  • Full-time preferred; flexible arrangements may be considered.


Why Join Summit Music Group?

  • Help build an emerging Christian music company dedicated to creating music that makes a lasting impact.
  • Work directly with artists who are passionate about faith, creativity, and excellence.
