This role is central to the production of songs; including new commissions and 3rd party copyright arrangements for our world-class Song Bank, with a particular focus on commissioning high-quality audio tracks, and preparing content for digital publication.

Commission original songs and arrangements, audio tracks and other educational content for publication.
Work with external contributors such as songwriters, vocalists and music producers coordinating recording projects and other resource development projects.
Occasionally attend recording sessions ensuring the creation of accurate and high quality audio.
Assess commissioned work against editorial briefs, publication standards and audience needs, providing clear developmental feedback where required.
Make editorial recommendations regarding repertoire selection, content suitability and publication readiness.
Ensure commissioned content aligns with Sing Up's educational, musical and editorial standards.
Prepare and upload content for publication via Sing Up's digital platform.
Support the maintenance of production schedules, records, budgets and editorial processes.
