Who We Are:

Koze Music Publishing is a full service Publishing administration & Sync agency based out of Los Angeles, Nashville and Auckland, NZ.

Our team consists of a driven group of like-minded, motivated individuals who embrace their passion for advocating our artists and songwriters in the world of Sync Licensing and Music Publishing Administration.

What We’re Looking For:

We’re looking for a self-motivated, detail-oriented, and creatively minded Sync & Publishing Coordinator to join our small but dynamic team. If you’re passionate about music, eager to learn, have a strong work ethic, and can thrive in a fast-paced environment, this could be the perfect role for you.

The ideal candidate will have up to 2 years of experience at a publisher, sync company, label, or music supervision company. You’ll be joining a collaborative team where your contributions are valued and there is real room to grow.

This role offers a flexible mix of remote work and in-person collaboration. Candidates must be based in Los Angeles. Please do NOT apply if you are not based in Los Angeles.

Why Koze Might Be A Good Fit For You:

You’ll be working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment across all aspects of sync and publishing—both creative and administrative.

You’ll also handle administrative tasks including metadata tagging, organizing and maintaining data, and registering works with PROs and mechanical societies.

This is not a slow-paced or purely passive listening role. If you’re looking for a job where you’ll simply be making playlists and listening to music all day, this is not the right fit.
