THE ROLE ‍
We are looking for an experienced Booker to strengthen our booking team across all three brands. You
work side by side with our Head Booker and take full ownership of your own shows and lineups: from
talent scouting and offers to negotiation, deal memos and handover to production.
This role is for someone who has booked shows before, has a strong network with agents and
management, and knows how to build a lineup that sells tickets and fits the brand.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Own the booking for your shows and brands, in the Netherlands and abroad
• Build lineups that fit each brand's sound, audience and budget
• Make offers, negotiate fees and terms, and close deals with agents and management
• Keep talent costs within budget and report on them to the Head Booker
• Scout new talent and keep track of who is breaking through, which labels matter and where the
music is heading
• Prepare deal memos and contracts, and hand over clearly to advancing and artist liaison
• Work with marketing on announcements, including checking artwork and billing
• Build and maintain long-term relationships with agencies and artist teams
• Keep the artist database and booking schedules up to date

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• At least [3–5] years of experience as a booker, on the promoter or agency side
• A proven track record: lineups and shows you booked yourself
• A strong network with agents and management in electronic music, in Europe and beyond
• Strong negotiation skills and a good feel for budgets and ticket sales
• A sharp eye for the scene: you know which artists are breaking through and which fit our brands
• Organised, independent and able to work under pressure in peak season
• Fluent in English; Dutch is a plus
• Based in or near Amsterdam.

WHAT WE OFFER
• A full-time role with real ownership in a fast-growing international events company
• A competitive salary based on experience
• A front-row seat to the Amsterdam music scene and international shows
• A driven team that works hard and looks out for each other
• Room to grow as we expand internationally
