As XITE expands across new platforms and territories, we’re looking for a full-time (40 hours/week) Music Curator to join our Music Team. If you live and breathe music and are excited to help shape how people experience music videos around the world, we’d love to hear from you!
It’s our mission to share our passion for music videos with the world and invite people to experience music beyond listening: to see your music. XITE is dedicated to building the best music video experience in the world. Based in Amsterdam, XITE now reaches 100 million households across North America and Europe. XITE delivers premium music video experiences across four core products:
Global & International (Europe & North America)
FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV): This rapidly growing global market offers themed music channels directly on smart TVs. Across Europe and North America, XITE is available with 26 different genre- and decade-based channels.
Interactive TV App: Available on smart TVs in various countries throughout Europe and North America, this app features over 200 curated playlists for a personalized viewing experience.
The Netherlands
Linear Television: This is where our brand began in 2008. It is available specifically in the Netherlands through all major Dutch cable and fiber providers.
XITE Music: A comprehensive collection of 51 non-stop audio channels, available exclusively for viewers in the Netherlands.
As a part of our Music Team, you’ll work alongside five music curators and a metadata specialist under the guidance of our Director of Music Curation. We celebrate diversity and individual expertise; that variety is exactly what allows us to connect with our broad, international audience.
The Music Team’s mission: We operate at the intersection of sound and screen. As a Music Curator, you sit at the heart of this vision, crafting seamless visual journeys for a global audience. Our goal is simple: to deliver the ultimate music video experience. Operating on a global scale, we partner with major labels, independent distributors, and leading platforms to constantly redefine how music videos are consumed.
Work-life balance: We follow a hybrid rhythm: two days remote and three days in the office. During our time on-site, we often head to our rooftop terrace to catch up over a drink and share the latest tracks and videos hitting our radars.
Curate & Program: You will drive the programming for a selection of Linear/FAST channels and build out our Interactive TV App playlists across multiple genres, decades, moods and seasonal themes.
Support Global Strategy: You work closely with our Senior Music Curators to help express XITE’s editorial voice across all active markets, keeping our content fresh, relevant, and forward-looking.
Own the Metadata: You editorialize incoming music videos by assigning accurate subgenres, moods, and visual keywords. This metadata powers XITE’s search, discovery, and recommendation features.
Contribute Creatively: You share ideas and recommendations with our Production team, helping select the perfect visuals for TV elements like idents and show openers.
Collaborate & Innovate: Brainstorm with the wider Music Team on new content ideas and features that keep our global audience engaged.
Discover & Rediscover: From scouting the next global hit to resurfacing timeless classics, you’ll stay ahead of music trends and dig into the archives to showcase the best of both worlds on XITE.
