About beatBread

beatBread is a music funding startup with a mission to empower artists so that they can own their art and control their careers. We give artists access to funding and more choice to select the promotion, marketing, and production partners that best fit their unique needs. We have secured funding from top-tier venture capitalists and investors in a very large “artist fund” (think 8 figures, soon to be 9 figures in size). Our team is strong and has achieved real marketplace traction. We have already executed agreements with close to 350 artists across 4 continents and have launched partnerships with several leading independent music distributors and artist services companies who want to use our technology and platform.

We are looking for a dynamic, artist friendly superstar to join our rapidly growing team.  This is a true “start up” role that requires a particular attitude, ethic, confidence, humility and range. This person will need:

  • A “no task too small” attitude.
  • Strong organizational skills in a fast-paced environment. This includes having the ability to quickly adapt without letting existing tasks fall behind.
  • Willingness to act as an individual contributor, but also the ability to be a supporter of high impact teams
  • A curious and open mind
  • To be able to thoughtfully speak up, advise and push back with senior members of the team as necessary
  • To be highly self-directed, e.g., understand the need and “get the work done” with varying degrees of direction
  • To have the confidence and openness to ask for help when struggling
  • Growth mindset… towards the business, towards co-workers and partners, and towards themselves
  • A personality fit with our team. We are a hardworking, mission-driven group. We believe our team is a good fit for a broad range of working styles, political leanings, cultural backgrounds and sexual/gender orientations. We are not a good fit for high ego, entitled or disrespectful individuals.
