About the role

Roc Nation is seeking a motivated A&R Intern for in-office work in New York, NY. This paid internship offers hands-on exposure to live entertainment and music industries, including A&R, studio recording, and release planning.

Ideal candidates are college students or recent graduates with a passion for indie artists and a proactive work ethic.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
