Piano Education Producer - Full-time, Los Angeles

I’m Sam Blakelock, co-founder at Pickup Music, and I’ll be hiring for this role. This is a rare opportunity where you’ll be coming in early to help shape piano education at Pickup Music, both in front of and behind the camera.

About us

Pickup Music is a leading music-education company based in Los Angeles that has been growing steadily since 2016. We are the leaders in structured, long-form learning with over 50,000 members for guitar, bass, piano, and drums. We are an independent, bootstrapped company led by musicians.

About the role

We are looking for a pianist to lead the development of piano lessons. This role involves a mix of preparing and teaching lessons on camera, producing other teachers to create lessons, and supporting our community of piano learners.

You’re the right person for the job if you fit the following three requirements:

• You’re a professional pianist. You can sight-read, improvise fluently, play multiple styles, and have extensive performing experience.
• You’re passionate about creating video lessons to teach beginner to intermediate students.
• You’re excited to work with a fast-growing music technology company to build something special that helps tens of thousands of people learn music.

Location & Schedule

This is a full-time role based in Los Angeles. The hours are normal working hours—Monday to Friday. You’ll be in the studio at least 80% of the time, but some pre- and post-production work can be done at home.

Pay & Benefits

$75,000 / year

• 401K with 4% match
• Healthcare
• 20 days paid leave
• Sick leave
• Parental leave

Responsibilities

At Pickup Music, we respect and allow time for our team members to focus on deep, meaningful work. For you, this will primarily involve writing, producing, and filming the world’s best piano curriculum.

Here’s what your first 30 days will look like:

• Week 1: Onboarding, where you can meet the team, learn our product, and start to plan your first course.
• Week 2: Teach a course, with another producer producing you, so you can see what it’s like to do a class end-to-end.
• Week 3: Start work on your first learning pathway.

Day-to-day, you’ll be working with our piano lead, head of education, and LA production team. As well as being on camera, you will direct and produce talent and see classes through to publish. We don’t expect you to hit the ground running—we’ll coach you through how to produce a class at Pickup Music. You’ll learn from our other producers and iterate quickly from user feedback.

Requirements

• Must be legally able to work in the US (no visa sponsorship available).
• This is not a remote role.
