Senior Music Supervisor at TBWA\Media Arts Lab

TBWA edia Arts Lab is the bespoke global agency for Apple and only Apple. They think different to create impact for the world’s most iconic brand.

The TBWA edia Arts Lab team are looking for a Senior Music Supervisor to help shape how Media Arts Lab London connects their client with music, artists and culture across Europe, the Middle East and Turkey. This is not a conventional music-supervision role: alongside outstanding musical knowledge and industry relationships, you will identify and develop original artist-led creative opportunities, bringing together music, visual culture, content and technology.

You will be a trusted senior partner to artists, management, labels, publishers, production partners, their client and global MAL teams — helping realise ambitious ideas from early conversation through to delivered work. With sharp cultural instincts, a producer’s mindset and a reputation for making things happen, you will help ensure that MAL’s work is not only relevant to culture, but contributes meaningfully to it.

The Work

• Proactively identify artists, emerging talent, cultural moments, creative collaborators and partnership opportunities that can lead to distinctive work for the brand.

• Provide senior music supervision and music-production counsel where required, including artist recommendations, music strategy, rights, negotiations, approvals and stakeholder management.
• Build and maintain meaningful relationships across the UK, France, Germany and wider European, Middle Eastern and Turkish music ecosystems.
• Create opportunities through your network and reputation, helping establish MAL as a trusted and creatively valuable partner within the music industry.
• Share informed, relevant and surprising music and cultural insight with the wider agency, helping teams understand emerging scenes, talent, formats and creative possibilities.
• Bring a clear point of view on what is next in music and visual culture, and how our client can participate in ways that feel authentic, generous and culturally credible.
• Represent MAL externally with warmth, discretion and authority across industry events, artist meetings, creative partnerships and cultural conversations.

Who Will Thrive in This Role?

• You are deeply embedded in music and culture, with exceptional taste, real curiosity and a live understanding of artists, scenes and creative communities.
• You are entrepreneurial by nature: you do not wait for a brief, but spot opportunities, make connections and build ideas that would not otherwise exist.
• You are as comfortable discussing an artist’s creative ambition as you are navigating production realities, stakeholder needs, budgets and delivery deadlines.
• You bring a producer’s instinct: able to convene the right people, create…
