    The Team

    As a team, we see ourselves as partners and collaborators with all the labels across Sony and we often work with them from the very start of projects through to campaign planning and delivery. We’re all culturally curious and passionate about considering people.

    The Role

    Being a central team, this is a brilliant opportunity to work across a huge breadth of different artist projects whilst learning about and utilising different research methodologies and digital tools to help teams across the business appreciate more about our artists’ fans and potential audiences. While some of the assignments would be partly admin-focused (from raising Purchase Orders for suppliers to helping set up focus groups and brainstorms we run with the labels), we would envisage that the right candidate would very quickly progress to actively helping the team run insight projects – by assisting on projects initially, but ultimately running their own smaller projects too.

    What you’ll do

    • Respond to requests from labels for artist audience profiles leveraging our in-house data sources
    • Work collaboratively with the analytics teams to deliver Social Health Checks and Competitor Reports
    • Support the Insight team with some of the analysis for our in-house Artist Tracker
    • Support the team with label workshops
    • Manage the Insight team’s reports and outputs, uploading them to Sharepoint / Portal
    • Support with ad hoc podcast related requests, including concept testing / guest opportunities / audience profiling
    • Take on responsibility for our trends reporting, including weekly contributions to an internal newsletter and our cultural calendar
    • Support the team with a wide variety of ad hoc projects
    • Deliver one bespoke insight project from beginning to end by the end of the internship

    Who you are

    • This role would be a great opportunity for anyone looking to rapidly develop their research, insight, analysis and storytelling skills in a stimulating, fast paced and always-changing industry.
    • Prior experience of manipulating basic data in Excel and PowerPoint is essential as this will be a major area of support required.
    • Proficient, experienced user of Microsoft Office suite – especially Excel & PowerPoint.
    • Attention to detail.
    • Inquiring, diagnostic mind.
    • Personable and interested in people.
    • An appreciation and love for culture in all its forms (“high” and “low”) – most especially music!
    • Efficient and good time management skills.
    • A keen eye for design and presentation.
    • A love of music is essential! We’re lucky enough to work across all the labels at Sony so a varied taste and appetite for immersing in different genres and scenes would be beneficial.

    What you'll get

    • Weekly sessions with fellow interns to learn about the wider business.
    • Learning and development workshops to help you grow within the working world.
    • The opportunity to join our employee resource groups @HUE, @Whatif, @Whatiffreedom and make a difference to our company.
    • 25 days holiday + Bank holidays
    • 2 Premium days to use for working on yourself, caring for your mental health or volunteering.
    • A credit to use on live gigs.
    • Free vinyl
