Explore Work Behind the Stage

The original cards introduce five kinds of behind-the-scenes work. They describe roles, not current vacancies or guaranteed routes into an agency.

Tour Manager

The card highlights tour logistics, coordination and communication. Research the actual responsibilities and language requirements of a specific vacancy.

PR Specialist

PR work in the source centers on public image, media and communication strategy. A relevant portfolio should demonstrate work suited to the employer’s audience.

Music Producer and Songwriter

The card introduces music creation and collaboration. Build a portfolio relevant to the work you want to pursue and use legitimate submission channels.

A&R

A&R connects creative discovery, production and release planning in the source overview. Role boundaries differ by company.

Trainee Manager

The card highlights scheduling and supporting trainees. Actual duties, safeguarding requirements and qualifications must be checked with the employer.

Choose a Role to Research

Compare real vacancy descriptions and identify the skills you need to develop. The cards do not establish that an employer is hiring or sponsoring visas.
