Music Catalogue Development Manager

Sync-Audio is a curated music licensing platform built to connect high-quality unsigned and independent artists with commercial opportunities across film, television, advertising, gaming, digital media, and other creative industries.

Our mission is to help independent artists diversify their revenue by making their music available for licensing and sync opportunities, while offering commercial buyers access to authentic, culturally relevant music from real artists.

We are now looking for a Catalogue Development Manager to help grow and strengthen the Sync-Audio catalogue by identifying, attracting, reviewing, and onboarding high-quality independent music with strong licensing potential.

The Catalogue Development Manager will be responsible for expanding the Sync-Audio music library in a strategic and curated way.

This role combines elements of artist outreach, A&R, music curation, catalogue growth, and rights/metadata awareness. The focus is not simply to add more tracks, but to help build a commercially useful catalogue that can support licensing opportunities across film, TV, advertising, gaming, digital content, and brand campaigns.

This is an ideal role for someone who has strong music taste, understands independent artists, is commercially aware, and can help build a catalogue that stands out from traditional stock music libraries.

• Identify high-quality unsigned and independent artists suitable for Sync-Audio
• Source new music from artists, producers, managers, music communities, online platforms, and independent networks
• Build relationships with artists and rights holders
• Review music submissions for quality, originality, production standard, and commercial potential
• Assess tracks for sync suitability across film, TV, advertising, gaming, digital media, and brand content
• Identify gaps in the catalogue by genre, mood, tempo, style, use case, or commercial demand

• Help collect and verify key artist, track, and rights information
• Ensure new tracks have accurate and useful metadata, including genre, mood, tempo, artist details, ownership information, and usage suitability
• Work with the team to confirm that submitted tracks are appropriate for licensing

• Work alongside the licensing and partnerships function to understand what types of tracks buyers are looking for
• Help shape the catalogue based on market demand and sync trends
• Identify music with strong potential for advertising, film, TV, gaming, social media, trailers, and branded content

This is a flexible role and the compensation structure is negotiable depending on experience, track record, network, and agreed responsibilities.

Possible compensation structures may include:

• A monthly retainer
• A performance-based structure
• Commission or bonus linked to successfully onboarded artists or approved catalogue growth

The final structure will be discussed with the right candidate and agreed based on experience and expected contribution.
