*We had over 150 applications and the vacancy has now been filled*<\/strong>
– – – –

Please note:<\/strong>
The ideal candidate will live in Scotland, and while we’re open to the idea of you being elsewhere (see below for more on this), it will benefit your application if you can detail the many benefits of your location, beyond the ability to take meetings for the company. We’re regularly in London, have a direct train link, and collectively lived and worked there for 30 years

5000 is an artist management company committed to the mental and physical health of its clients and colleagues, and we’re looking for someone to join us. A small team that works very closely together in support of each other, we manage two artists via four labels across five artistic projects with responsibility for all aspects of their global careers

Ali Lacey<\/strong>: Novo Amor<\/a>
Ed Tullett<\/strong>: Lowswimmer, Hailaker, Tolari, Lissom<\/a>

The role we seek to fill is varied, with a couple of focus points. We don’t expect the successful candidate to be able to tick every box below, and while there will be some scope to carve out a role that best suits and interests you, we would initially have our new colleague focus on the following areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Building a global<\/strong> and environmentally responsible<\/strong> merchandise<\/strong> business for our artists, including product development and marketing
\u2022 Investigating how our artists’ touring<\/strong> businesses can become more environmentally sustainable, and implementing processes to achieve this
\u2022 Assisting with touring logistics<\/strong>, while being mindful of the mental, physical and emotional toll touring can exact on those on the road, and considering how we can tour in ways that are kinder and gentler<\/strong> on our artists and their crew

There\u2019s no reason why this role couldn\u2019t be filled by someone who has an interest<\/em> in management, touring and environmental responsibility but has only a little experience<\/em> in them. Similarly, it could be filled by someone who has experience in one or all, to varying extents. It’s essential, though, that they have great enthusiasm for artist management. In any event, the successful applicant’s salary will reflect their experience<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will also be opportunities to get involved across the company\u2019s entire business, depending on your experience of \/ interest in the following:

\u2022 Campaign Strategy
\u2022 International development
\u2022 Sponsorship and branding
\u2022 Writing and collaborations
\u2022 Data analysis and leverage
\u2022 Business and legal affairs
\u2022 Catalogue management \/ registrations
\u2022 General administrative support of the Management Team

Again, we don’t expect the successful candidate to be fully conversant in all of these areas, so don’t worry if you’re not. We had a think about what a week-in-the-life might look like, and you can read that here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The successful candidate will ideally <\/strong>
\u2022 be Mac literate
\u2022 have a head for numbers, spreadsheets and logistics 
\u2022 be organised, a good problem-solver and lateral thinker, able to juggle a number of things at once, and take the initiative when it’s needed
\u2022 be conversant in social media 
\u2022 have a positive familiarity with 5000\u2019s artists 
\u2022 have some experience in artist management or be really keen to work in artist management 
\u2022 be mindful and protective of their health, and empathetic to the health of others
\u2022 live in Scotland (or be willing to move there, with 5000 helping with relocation costs) and be able to travel by train or bus (not car or plane) once a week to Edinburgh or Glasgow. This isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker; applicants from further afield – including abroad – are very welcome to apply, and outline how their location could be of great benefit to the business*. Please do, however, in your email to us, tell us where you’re currently based or where you’re going to be based in the near future, and why this location will be of great benefit to the company and its artists

The successful candidate will not <\/strong>
\u2022 have to work evenings, weekends, or under pressure<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5000 is offering <\/strong>
\u2022 A full-time position
\u2022 A friendly, kind, respectful and safe working environment
\u2022 A salary between \u00a324,000 – \u00a333,000, depending on experience and location*
\u2022 A four-day week (ideally you\u2019d take a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday off)
\u2022 A generous holiday entitlement
\u2022 Flexible working hours
\u2022 A signing-on fee
\u2022 Bonuses
\u2022 A pension
\u2022 Training courses
\u2022 A MacBook Air (yours after 24 months)
\u2022 Noise-cancelling headphones (yours after 6 months)
\u2022 Custom-fitted ear protection (yours immediately)
\u2022 Field trips around the UK and abroad for both working and learning opportunities 
\u2022 Access to Edinburgh’s Gleneagles Townhouse<\/a> to work and socialise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this sounds like you, or close enough, please email Andy and Hannah at work@5000mgmt.com<\/a> and say hello. If you don’t have a CV, that’s fine; you’re very welcome to apply in any way you feel best represents you, and you don’t need to worry about gaps in your CV or having a higher education. Regardless of the outcome, all will receive a response, and feedback if requested

Interviews will be in-person and online, and by the time the successful candidate joins us, we\u2019ll have met a number of times. It\u2019s more important that our ethics and values align than it is your skillset matches exactly what we\u2019re looking for, or that your experience or qualifications are extensive, though it would be great if your experience somewhat aligns with the areas listed above

Interviews will begin in November with the aim of the successful candidate starting at the beginning of January 2023

Application deadline is 15 November 2022<\/strong>
