WHY SHOULD YOU WORK HERE?
The answer is simple. Because you have to do what makes you happy.
If your heart taps to the beat of dance music, and if you've always dreamed of working in the music industry, we can tell you – without even a shred of doubt in our minds – that you'll feel right at home here with us. Whether you're looking to sign hit after hit as an A&R manager, whipping out cool content as a Social Media Creative or ready to crunch the numbers in our Royalty department, dance music is all around you here. It's in the thoughts you share with like-minded colleagues, the drinks you're having on Fridays in our in-office club, and even in that grueling workout you submit yourself to at our gym.
But most of all, it's in the work you do and how it makes a difference. Together, we'll take our mutual passion, add professionalism, expertise and ambition, and turn it into something greater: the dance music you love.
And we'll pay you. There's that too, of course! :)
MEET YOUR COLLEAGUES
MAYKEL
CEO & CO-FOUNDER
In 2003, I founded Armada Music with Armin van Buuren and David Lewis for one simple reason: because of a genuine love for dance music. Because of the amazing people here, that reason still holds true today. Every day, we connect through a mutual passion and put our heart and soul into everything we do. We inspire ourselves and each other, just so we can give the music the platform it deserves.
NADINE
COO OF BEAT MUSIC FUND
No day is the same. The music industry is hyper dynamic, so the way in which we approach our activities and business model can change from month to month. To meet our ambitions, we need to be flexible, smart and fast. It is an environment where we need to challenge ourselves every day, but the possibilities are endless. If you have a good idea and a solid plan, chances are pretty good you get to bring it to life!
LISANNE
ARTIST BRAND MANAGER
My love for music is the reason I started working at Armada Music, and I feel blessed being able to share our music with the world every day. It’s more than that though. Everyone who’s working at Armada does so because of a passion. It’s in the simple things. Being able to share my enthusiasm about a track, an artist, a small melody in a great tune or to simply enjoy live music together with colleagues is something I value highly and am very grateful for having. If I’m completely honest, there’s not been one day where I didn’t feel like going to work. I just love it! Armada is my home.
JAMES
A&R
Here at Armada, I have the complete creative freedom to be able to follow my musical intuition and, most importantly, my gut instinct. Having trust instilled into me from the top down is a key aspect to me being a successful A&R Manager in the dance music industry.
MARIE-CECIEL
HEAD OF HUMAN RESOURCES
The Armada family is defined by a blend of talented creatives, marketing specialists, legal and financial people (and more) with a true passion for music. It is the heart and soul of the company, something you can feel everywhere and in everyone who works here. Being part of such a family inspires me every single day.
