Cruise Ship Musicians Talent Acquisition Specialist

Cruise Ship Musicians Talent Acquisition Specialist

Location: Genova, Italy (Office-based)

Sector: Cruise & Maritime Entertainment

The Role

Based in our Genova office, you will be the primary scout and coordinator for our global fleet’s musical entertainment. This role requires a unique blend of "artistic ear" and "administrative engine." You will identify world-class musicians and singers, guiding them through the complex journey from their first audition to their first night performing on stage at sea.

Key Responsibilities

• Source & Audition : Proactively find and vet vocalists, bands, and soloists that meet our brand’s high standards.
• Data & Pipeline Management : Maintain meticulous records of candidate progress, contract dates, and availability.
• Compliance & Logistics : Coordinate the essential "paperwork trail" for maritime employment, including visas and medical clearances.
• High-Volume Communication : Manage daily international correspondence with talent, agencies, and shipboard management.

Technical & Professional Requirements

• Software Proficiency : Advanced skills in Google Sheets and the Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) are essential for tracking talent pipelines and reporting.
• Digital Communication : Exceptional emailing skills; you must be able to communicate professionally and clearly with talent from diverse cultural backgrounds across multiple time zones.
• Recruitment Experience : Previous experience in Talent Acquisition or HR, preferably within the entertainment or maritime sectors.
• Linguistic Skills : Fluency in English (company language) and Italian (local office operations).
• Musical Literacy : A strong understanding of musical genres, performance quality, and stage presence.

What We Look For

We need a "multi-instrumentalist" of the office world - someone who is as comfortable analyzing a spreadsheet as they are analyzing a vocal demo. You should be highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to thrive in the fast-paced environment of the Genova shipping hub.
