Booker / Project Manager (m/f/d)

Kontramarka.de is an agency with a wide range of events such as concerts, performances, shows and much more. Our clients are lovers of vivid emotions and impressions, and we strive to provide them with the best service at every stage of their interaction with us.

By expanding our range of services, our team is growing and evolving. Now is the time to join us as a Booker / Talent Buyer.

Your role

You will be the key operational figure in our tours. You don't just find artists - you build a complete tour for them. From the first contact with the management to the final report after the concerts, all the threads come together with you.

Artist Discovery & Booking (intuition & analysis)

• You identify new and established artists in the pop / rock / R&B / comedy sector with potential for venues for 500-1,500 visitors.
• You realistically assess the ticket sales potential based on streaming figures, social media data and previous live experience
• You conduct negotiations with management and agencies and secure touring rights for us.

Routing & preparation (operational management)

• Tour routing: You plan economically viable tour routes within Germany and optimize distances and transport costs (Sprinter, Nightliner).
• Venue booking: You are in direct contact with concert venues and halls, negotiate rental contracts and conditions and check them carefully for hidden costs.
• Calculation: You create detailed profitability and break-even calculations for individual shows and complete tours, including ticket prices, production costs, GEMA and KSK.
• Pre-sales: You brief our marketing team and play an active role in the ticket and sales strategy.

Execution & follow-up (closing & control)

• During the tour you are a central contact person for organizational questions (in close cooperation with the production management).
• After the concerts or the tour, you prepare the final accounts and carefully check the accounts of the ticketing systems and venues.
• You will maintain our CRM database and build long-term, trusting relationships with club operators and local partners.

Our expectations

• Experience: You have practical experience in booking artists. Experience with venues is also desirable.
• Sober judgment: You are able to make a clear distinction between your personal taste in music and the market conditions in which you work.
• Commercial mindset: You make a clear distinction between turnover and profit. Excel is your daily working tool for risk assessment.
• Negotiating skills: You can negotiate fees and rents confidently but correctly and maintain long-term relationships.
• Organization: You keep an overview, even if you are working on several projects at the same time.
• Languages: Fluent English is a must, good German skills are welcome.

Why us

• Real responsibility: You have a direct impact on the outcome - and you see it in numbers, venues and repeat tours.
• Team culture: We work as a team, without internal competition or backstabbing.
• Music as a profession: You work where others spend their free time - and shape the concert program with your decisions.
