Job Summary
Monstercat is seeking a highly motivated, detail-oriented, and enthusiastic Sync & Partnerships Coordinator to join our team on a 6-month contract as part of a parental leave coverage plan. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career professional or recent graduate to gain hands-on experience at the intersection of music, gaming, and internet culture at one of the most influential dance labels in the world.
You’ll be joining the team that placed more than 150 songs in video games in 2026, including major partnerships with titles like Rocket League, Beat Saber, and Fortnite.
