Thanks for visiting our help wanted page.

We are looking for professional, disciplined, and results-driven people to work with us. We appreciate experience and know-how, but initiative and creative thinking score even higher. A good attitude comes first, ego last.

  • We talk directly with developers and do our own project management, so we need little of the corporate overhead and structure typical of agencies and contract shops, though we don’t rule out working with the most streetwise and decentralized of these. We pay competitively, we’re good to work with, and we are striving to do absolutely awesome work on all the projects we take on.
  • You can work wherever you are at your best: in your home office or studio or neighborhood café. You’re welcome to come by and hang out or work from the Music Word Media office whenever the mood strikes you.
  • If you are based in the New York/Western New England region we can have occasional face time, but we regularly work well with talent in Italy, India, and elsewhere, so your location is not an issue if the fit is right.
  • We hope and expect to be in a position down the road where we can offer some of our best contractors full-time employment, if that’s their preference.
