Careers at HarmENT — Remote Music Industry Jobs UK
Join a modern, remote-first music-tech company shaping the careers of independent artists worldwide.
HarmENT is a UK-based music promotion company, indie label and artist-tools studio. Since 2019 we've helped 500+ independent artists grow real audiences across Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, radio and beyond. Working here means owning real outcomes for real artists, in a small, senior, low-ego team that ships every week — without the politics, fake-stream tactics or burnout culture of the legacy industry.

Transparent and ethical
Clear contracts, fair splits, no fake streams, no shady tactics. Ever.
Senior-light, ownership-heavy

Executive PA & Personal Bodyguard to James Armstrong (Founder & CEO)
⚠️ 99% of applicants need not apply. If the job doesn't kill you, your personal life will.
STOP. Read every word. This is the hardest job HarmENT will ever advertise. There is no honeymoon period. There is no easing in. From day one your phone is on, your bag is packed, and your old life is on hold. You will be woken up. You will miss birthdays, weddings, funerals, holidays, dates, dinners, gym sessions, sleep. You will eat in airports and answer emails from the back of cars. You will be screamed at on bad days and hugged on good ones — sometimes in the same hour. You will know things about James, about artists, about deals, about money, that you can never repeat to anyone, ever — including a future partner, a future therapist, a future journalist, or a future version of yourself who thinks the story is too good not to tell.
You are the right hand to HarmENT's Founder & CEO James Armstrong — effectively on-call 24/7/365. Helicopter at 11pm. Flight rerouted at midnight. New suit by Friday morning. Tailor at the hotel by 6am. Takeaway delivered to a green room at 4am. Hospital pharmacy located in a city you've never been to. A problem you've never seen before, solved in twenty minutes, with a smile, in front of people who are paid to watch you fail. This is not a job. It is a lifestyle replacement.
If you have a partner — talk to them before you apply. If you have young kids — do not apply. If you need eight hours of sleep, weekends off, predictable hours, or a clean line between work and life — do not apply. If you think "on-call" means "I might get a Slack at 7pm" — do not apply. If you have ever leaked a story, screenshotted a chat, or "vented" about a previous principal online — close this tab. Serious money. Total trust. No quiet life. No going back.
View role details
What you'll actually do
- Be reachable around the clock — last-minute helicopters, private flights, hotels, cars, restaurants, gifts, takeaways at 4am, problems solved before they reach James
- You travel where James travels. Multiple hotel suites booked wherever you go so you're on hand when needed. This job is not for a family man — mental wellbeing cannot be guaranteed
- Own and defend James's calendar across UK, US and EU time zones; rebuild it on the fly when plans change
- Run the founder inbox: triage, draft, reply on his behalf, chase, close loops
- Personal life admin too — tailoring, new suits, dry cleaning, household, family logistics, lifestyle
- Premium travel and events — private aviation, chauffeurs, showcases, festivals, awards, international meetings
- Board, investor, partnership and artist meeting prep — agendas, decks, briefing packs, minutes
- Confidential contracts, signatures, expenses, suppliers, NDAs — handled quietly
- Act as gatekeeper and human firewall between James and the rest of the world
Who this is for
- 5+ years as an EA/PA to a founder, C-suite exec, principal or HNW individual — ideally in music, entertainment, sport or finance
- Security, close-protection, military or private-guard background REQUIRED. SIA Close Protection licence (or equivalent) strongly preferred. You are the PA and the bodyguard — diary in one hand, situational awareness in the other. Not looking for a hitman; not looking for a desk jockey
- Unflappable. 3am phone calls do not faze you. Last-minute changes are the job, not an inconvenience
- Surgical discretion, watertight judgement, total loyalty. Read that again. This is the single most important line on this page
- Hyper-organised across calendars, inboxes, travel and personal admin; fluent in Google Workspace, Notion and Slack
- UK-based, fully remote, ready to travel at short notice
- Low-ego, kind, sharp, genuinely up for it. If you want a quiet life, this is not the role
What you get
- £200k flat base, performance bonus, full expenses, premium travel, security kit/training where required, direct access to every part of a fast-moving music company
Before you start
- NDA and liability waiver must be signed prior to commencing employment. Non-negotiable

Hiring philosophy
What we look for
Skills can be taught. These six things are non-negotiable across every HarmENT hire, from day-one analyst to senior partnerships lead.
Independent thinkers
You bring a point of view, push back kindly, and own decisions end to end.
Artist-first values
You make decisions that are good for artists first — long term, not just this campaign.
Music-culture literacy
You actually listen, follow scenes, and understand why a release matters.
Remote-ready operators
You're disciplined, communicate clearly in writing, and don't need to be chased.
Proactive and curious
You spot problems early, ship fixes, and bring better ideas than the brief.
Kind, low-ego humans
We're a small team. We hire people we genuinely want to work with for years.
Our culture
How we actually work
HarmENT is built on three things: transparency, artist-first values and boring discipline. We share numbers openly, we say no to work that won't move artists forward, and we run small, focused weeks instead of theatrical sprints.
We're remote-first, async-by-default and low-meeting. Most days you'll work from wherever you are in the UK, in deep focus blocks, with a single planning call and a written end-of-day. We care more about output than hours, and we genuinely protect evenings, weekends and holidays.
We're small, senior and ambitious. You'll work directly with founders, ship into production every week, and see the impact of your work on real artists' careers — usually within days, not quarters.
