This export and sales professional will most likely be based in Stockholm.
We require our producer to be a goal-conscious person with an innovative approach and a passion for marketing communications and developing exportation of Finnish popular music. In addition, we require knowledge of music sector professionals and earnings logics. Understanding of the structures of society and administrative practices is an advantage.
Our producer is rich in ideas, able to shoulder responsibility, works effectively as a team member and gets along with people splendidly. The successful candidate is motivated on the job and has the ability to motivate others.
