Artist Operations Coordinator (Remote, Part-Time)

We're looking for an organized, resourceful, and proactive person to help support the growth of an independent cinematic folk artist and music business based in Los Angeles.

You'll work directly with artist, songwriter, accordionist, and bandleader Melinda West across music releases, content organization, artist operations, and live-performance business activities.

• Spreadsheet management and organization
• Email list drafting
• Content asset organization and content support
• Booking and lead tracking support, some CRM
• Google Drive and file organization

•Some marketing and optimization

• Resourceful and independent
• Strong written communicators
• Comfortable with spreadsheets
• Detail-oriented
• Curious and eager to learn
• Comfortable using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini

About the Artist
I' ---------- linda West, a Los Angeles-based accordionist, songwriter, bandleader, and cinematic folk artist. My music blends folk storytelling, cinematic and world folk influences, and dynamic musical upbeat arrangements. I'm currently preparing a series of upcoming releases while growing my audience on YouTube and streaming platforms.
In addition to my original artist project, I also operate a small live-performance business that includes private events and seasonal bands. This role will primarily support my original music career while occasionally assisting with related music-business projects.
