The Role
This is a freelance role initially 2 days per week with the opportunity to extend this. We would prefer you to be London based to benefit from face time in the office at Old Street, though not essential.
As a talent booker for native, you’ll be playing a key role in supporting the Senior Programming Manager in the programming, booking and advancing of talent for all talent booking requests, native proprietary shows and tours. Booking will predominantly focus on music and electronic music in particular but you’ll need good knowledge across the industry too. Ideally, if you have had experience booking non-music-based talent this would be desirable.
You will have a solid understanding of the youth/student demographic, their listening habits, how they respond to different bookings, and ultimately what artists will sell. You should understand the big draws alongside having your finger firmly on the pulse for those up-and-coming artists.
You will have extensive experience with agents and agencies; you should have pre-existing, trusted relationships and understand the details of how agencies work and the nuanced processes involved. Experience agency side is preferred.
You will report to the Senior Programming Manager, as well as work closely with other members of the events team to bring the programme to life. The ideal candidate for this role will have demonstrable experience working within a fast-paced event booking role for a nightclub, music festival or similar.
