Job Summary:

Blue Highway Records is building a modern country label grounded in craft, artist development, and long-term vision. We are looking for an Executive Assistant to support the CEO in a fast-moving, high-trust environment at the center of music, culture, and business.

Job Responsibilities:

• Own and manage a high-volume, constantly shifting calendar across internal, artist, and external meetings.
• Coordinate travel and logistics, both domestic and international, with precision and efficiency.
• Serve as a gatekeeper and liaison between the CEO and artists, managers, executives, and partners.
• Prepare materials for meetings including briefs, agendas, and follow-ups.
• Track key priorities and ensure timely execution across multiple workstreams.
• Manage and track expenses, including submitting reports, reconciling receipts, and ensuring timely reimbursement.
• Handle confidential information with the highest level of discretion.
• Support on-site needs for events, showcases, and key moments across the label.
• Anticipate needs before they arise and solve problems proactively.

Other Duties:

Please note this job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee for this job. Duties, responsibilities and activities may change at any time with or without notice.

• Deep understanding of how the music industry operates — including artists, managers, touring, and label functions.
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Ability to operate calmly under pressure and adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment.
• High level of discretion and professionalism.
• Strong instincts and judgment — you know what matters and what can wait.
• Someone who understands the pace and personalities of the music business.
• Someone who takes pride in being reliable, prepared, and two steps ahead.
• Someone who values taste, relationships, and long-term thinking.
• Someone who wants to be in the room and contribute, not just observe.
