Interactive Web Designer

WMG’s family of labels—including Atlantic Records Group, Warner Bros. Records Inc., and Parlophone—is among the most prominent and successful in the history of music, encompassing a global roster of acclaimed artists and an unparalleled catalog including many of the world's most popular and influential recordings.

Our team’s primary goal is to provide fans with an engaging artist experience. The Interactive Web Designer is part of the team responsible for UX, design, product development, and content strategy across digital platforms. The Interactive Web Designer will work with label creative to produce artist websites, digital properties, and online marketing materials. We seek a creative, conceptual thinker with a passion for music who can work collaboratively with our team and other departments. The Interactive Web Designer will have the opportunity to work with a variety of artists spanning diverse genres. Knowledge of current design and tech trends is a necessity. This is a full-time, freelance, on-site position with no specific end date. There’s a real opportunity to shape the way fans engage with artists and music online, beyond following them on Twitter and Facebook. This is a great role for a recent graduate or someone with 2+ years web design experience. This is a WEB DESIGNER role, NOT UX/UI. The right person for the job will bring a point of view and an open mind to every discussion. They’ll advocate for the fan, and develop practical solutions that take into account business goals, timelines, and available resources. Most importantly, they are seen as a collaborator and problem solver who is calm under pressure. This will be a paid internship in which the person will work in our New York office with the Consumer Sales and Marketing Team.
