Remote A&R (Artists & Repertoire) Scout
Discover and Develop Tomorrow's Music Icons
Are you passionate about uncovering raw musical talent? Do you have a sharp ear for chart-topping potential and a deep understanding of today's sonic trends? If you're ready to scout emerging artists from the comfort of your own home, this remote A&R Scout role offers the perfect stage for your next big move. With an annual salary of $85,000, you’ll become a vital part of a forward-thinking music team that’s shaping the sound of the future. This is your chance to transform artists’ dreams into reality—and to make a lasting mark on the music industry.
The Heart of the Role: Championing New Voices
Your Purpose in the Bigger Picture
In this dynamic position, you’ll be more than just a talent hunter. You’ll act as a bridge between aspiring musicians and significant creative opportunities. From discovering unsigned talent to helping develop their artistic direction, your work will directly influence the next wave of music heard around the globe. With a passion-driven team behind you and unlimited digital tools at your disposal, you'll play an active role in building artist brands, planning music rollouts, and shaping careers—one discovery at a time.
Daily Adventures in A&R
- Scour online platforms, live streams, and digital spaces for undiscovered musical acts with standout potential.
- Evaluate demos, social engagement, audience traction, and sonic originality to identify signable talent.
- Conduct virtual meetings with artists, producers, and managers to assess artistic vision and market readiness.
- Collaborate with internal teams (marketing, PR, production) to craft unique artist development strategies.
- Recommend signings with well-researched, data-supported proposals based on trends and audience demand.
- Stay current on evolving music genres, regional breakout scenes, and digital distribution trends.
Where Passion Meets Innovation
An Environment Built for Curiosity and Creativity
This remote-first opportunity empowers you to work from anywhere—be it your studio space, your favorite coffee shop, or a beachside Airbnb. You'll operate in a flexible, open culture where fresh ideas are welcomed, and individuality is celebrated. Our music team thrives on collaboration, creative exchange, and mutual inspiration, creating a highly engaging and emotionally intelligent workspace. Whether you're contributing to an artist showcase or advising on song placement strategy, your insights will carry real creative weight.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Global reach: Scout artists across time zones and continents without stepping outside.
- Creative freedom: Pitch, prototype, and pursue innovative A&R ideas.
- Supportive leadership: Work under visionary executives who value mentorship and inclusion.
- Exciting momentum: Join a company that's growing rapidly, reshaping how music talent is discovered.
Tools That Empower Your Success
Digital A&R Tech Stack
As a modern A&R professional, you’ll use cutting-edge tech tools designed to amplify your instincts and streamline your process:
- SoundCloud, TikTok, YouTube: Platforms where hidden talent thrives.
- Chartmetric, Viberate, and Next Big Sound: Analytical tools for data-driven decisions.
- CRM and Artist Database Platforms: Track outreach, manage artist profiles, and monitor engagement.
- Video conferencing tools: Conduct face-to-face interviews and virtual auditions from anywhere.

We're seeking an individual who excels in fast-paced, creative environments and has a proven passion for discovering innovative sounds.
- Strong familiarity with emerging music platforms, online fan behavior, and viral growth patterns.
- An intuitive ear for marketable sound and a knack for identifying niche genre potential.
- Prior experience in music scouting, artist management, radio programming, or talent coordination is preferred.
