Job Description
NMC Recordings is seeking an Executive Director to lead the organization into its next phase of development.
We seek an outstanding candidate passionate about contemporary music and culture, with excellent leadership, managerial, and administrative skills.

This is a full-time position.
NMC is both a record label and a charity. Following a successful 35th birthday year and receiving the Royal Philharmonic Society’s prestigious Gamechanger Award in March 2025, NMC continues to thrive. Founded in 1989 by composer Colin Matthews OBE, NMC aims to enrich cultural life by connecting audiences worldwide with exceptional contemporary classical music from Britain and Ireland.
We collaborate with leading composers, artists, orchestras, and ensembles, releasing recordings both physically and digitally, and disseminating them globally to expand audiences for new music and elevate our composers on the world stage. We support composers at all career stages, from emerging artists recording their music professionally for the first time to established figures in British and Irish contemporary music. We also preserve this creativity through our non-deletion policy. Committed to reflecting diverse creative talents, we are exploring new directions in our educational initiatives.
This is a pivotal moment for NMC. As an Arts Council England-funded organization, we are exploring new artistic initiatives and seeking to develop new income streams in response to current financial challenges in the sector.
