The Art of Music Tour is a fast-growing international project that blends cinematic electronic music, drone filmmaking, and breathtaking natural landscapes.
We perform and film open-air concerts in iconic outdoor locations worldwide, blending music, storytelling, and visual art into powerful cultural experiences. Past performances have taken place in Sweden, Croatia, Portugal, Spain, Greece and more. The 2026 edition will expand across Europe and beyond.
As we celebrate our fifth year, we are building a high-performance global team that thrives on clarity, ownership, and creativity. We are now hiring a Permits Coordinator with senior-level communication, negotiation, and administrative capability to secure the required authorisations across tourism boards, municipalities, cultural ministries, and land-use authorities. This is not an event assistant role. This is a permitting and negotiation role with public institutions (municipalities, heritage, land use, tourism). If you have not secured permits before, do not apply.
This is a mission-critical role at the centre of a global expansion.
If you’re proactive, professional, and passionate about bringing music and film to extraordinary locations, we’d love to hear from you.
ROLE OVERVIEW
We are looking for someone with institutional maturity, not just events experience.
You must be comfortable navigating government frameworks, dealing with senior officials, and articulating a cultural project with professionalism and clarity.
Your responsibilities include:
1. Permits Acquisition & Institutional Contact
• Identify all authorities involved (tourism boards, municipal cultural offices, heritage/law departments, police, land-use councils).
• Initiate communication through professional written proposals and direct calls.
• Secure meetings, negotiations, and follow-up threads with decision-makers.
• Translate project needs into a language that resonates with institutions.
2. Negotiation & Objection Handling
• Persist through “no,” redirecting to alternative solutions.
• Present the project as cultural, cinematic, and tourism-enhancing — not a party or nightclub event.
• Understand concerns and propose scalable solutions (capacity, footprint, equipment, dates).
3. Process Management & Documentation
• Build a clear map of the approval chain for each location.
• Maintain structured communication records.
• Ensure all documents, liability requirements, safety considerations, and policies are respected.
4. Cross-Country Adaptation
• Adjust approach for different bureaucratic systems in Europe.
• Research best practices from film permits, cultural permits, and tourism partnerships.
