Legal Assistant

Do you actually read the terms and conditions before you agree to anything? Are you able to work with such pinpoint accuracy it puts the likes of Robin Hood to shame? And does your heart tap to the beat of dance music? Then you may just be the chosen one.

What will you be doing?

As a Legal Assistant, you support the lawyers working in the department in their tasks, with an emphasis on the administration and archiving of the agreements concluded by Armada Music. You do this using the contract management system. You also take care of the financial processing of the contract data. In this role you are in contact with artists and their management and you are an important link between various departments.

Among other challenges, you will:

• Draft and negotiate remix and video agreements;

• Draft and negotiate international licensing agreements;

• Keep track and extend  expiring licenses;

• Be responsible for creating various internal reports;

• Administrate and archive the agreements;

• Take care of the catalog administration;

• Summarize the core terms of contracts in so-called Royalty Summary Memos (RSM).

Who we are looking for?

• You have a relevant degree (HBO level or higher) in law;

• You have 1-3 years of experience working in a legal position;

• You have knowledge of contract management systems;

• You have good knowledge of Excel;

• You have a good numerical understanding and well-developed analytical ability;

• You work independently, but are also a team player;

• You have good attention to detail and are able to multitask;

• You are a master of English language in word and writing;

• You preferably live in or around Amsterdam.

What do you get in return?

At Armada Music, you’ll be pursuing your passion on an international scale. Calling an inspiring and musical environment home, you’ll bump fists with a young and dynamic team of skilled coworkers. We also offer 25 days off per year to force you to miss us every once in a while, and an appealing pension scheme for when we finally decide to grow up. And if that doesn’t convince you, know that we’ve got our own in-office club for wild office parties and Friday afternoon drinks, a gym open to anyone who wants to blow off some steam and colleagues so fun you probably don’t even want to head back home at the end of the day. And of course, we’re stocked up on the music you love. And we’ll pay you. There’s that too, of course.
