This role sits at the intersection of operations, production, and music, requiring an experienced, highly organised individual with excellent communication skills, confidence in managing budgets, and an in-depth understanding of the nuances of live music events. You’ll lead the Artist Liaison team on show days and be a key contact for artists, agents, and internal teams.

What you’ll be responsible for:

• Own and manage the artist advance process across all shows, including initial outreach, technical and hospitality riders, and itineraries.
• Liaise with internal departments (Operations, Production, Marketing, Partnerships, Finance) to integrate artist needs into wider event plans.
• Contribute to backstage layout planning and dressing room design.
• Coordinate artist accreditation requirements and passes.

• Maintain artist-facing spaces to a professional and consistent standard throughout each event.

Administration & Compliance

• Manage the Artist Liaison budget, raising purchase orders, processing payments, and tracking expenditure.
• Coordinate COS/Visa and immigration processes for international artists, working alongside legal and HR teams.

You’ll need to have:

• Minimum 3 years' experience as an Artist Liaison Manager or similar within the live music or festival space.
