Business Operations & Development Intern

Invite Only Studios (Chelsea, NYC)

Hybrid (On-Site + Remote)

Invite Only Studios is a world-class recording facility and creative hub in Chelsea, NYC, home to leading artists, producers, writers, and creative teams. We also operate Crash Dummies Productions (music & creative services) and the School of IO, our music and audio education program.

We are seeking a Business Operations & Development Intern to support internal studio administration and assist in the growth of our client, partner, and student networks. This is a hands-on role designed for someone interested in music business, creative operations, entrepreneurship, and relationship-building within the industry.

Responsibilities

Operations / Administration

• Assist with studio scheduling, session coordination, and day-to-day workflows

• Maintain CRM + contact databases (labels, artists, educators, clients, students)

• Support class operations for the School of IO (rosters, communication, scheduling)

• Participate in internal planning, project tracking, and documentation

Business Development / Outreach

• Assist in outreach to artists, labels, music supervisors, creative partners, and schools

• Help identify and research potential new clients, partners, and collaborators

• Draft outreach messages, follow-ups, and relationship touchpoints

• Support development of proposals, decks, and partnership one-sheets

• Learn how to track lead pipelines, convert inquiries, and grow creative networks

You will be coached through outreach — you are not expected to “sell” alone. This is structured learning in professional communication and deal flow.

What You’ll Learn / Gain

• How a major recording studio, production team, and creative education program operate

• Professional communication, outreach strategy, and client relationship management

• Real experience with CRM systems, scheduling tools, project coordination, and pipeline tracking

• Exposure to producers, artists, music supervisors, educators, and partners

• Mentorship in professional growth, creative industry etiquette, and career direction

This internship prioritizes learning, mentorship, and real operational experience, not errands or busywork.

Who You Are

• Organized, reliable, and detail-oriented

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Comfortable with outreach and building relationships (or excited to learn)

• Interested in music, education, studio culture, or creative business

• Able to dedicate 10–15 hours/week (hybrid schedule; some in-studio time)

Compensation

This internship is unpaid and can be taken for academic credit where available.

We provide any university documentation needed for credit approval.
