Job Description
The Role
We are looking for a Junior Producer to join us at Father. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to be a part of an exciting team - someone who is just as comfortable talking about sound and music as they are keeping a project running smoothly.
You will work closely with our Head of Production across every stage of a project, from first brief to final delivery. Over time, you will take ownership of your own projects, build direct relationships with clients and creatives, and help shape the Father workflow.
If you have a genuine love of music, some experience in production or account / project management roles, and a hunger to learn - we want to hear from you.
About Father
Father is an award-winning music and sound design studio founded by sound designers and composers. We work on the principle that sound amplifies emotion, engagement and recall, and we view sound as an integral part of design. Collaborating with a wide range of clients on sonic branding, original music, UI sound design and experiential sound, we translate ideas into sound experiences. We create rich and atmospheric sonic content, and pride ourselves on our strategic and sensitive approach.
All our work is produced in-house by our team of creative composers and sound designers, and it is our mission to create design-led, art-driven original work with intention, beauty and cultural sensitivity, for brands and organisations that want their sound to deliver impact beyond the superficial.
