Compare up to three roles. Never equate a company category with a salary.
Personal Manager
The manager aligns the artist’s aims, team, schedule, commercial choices and resources. A useful week can include a release meeting, budget review, promoter conversation, approval request, status update and a difficult decision about which opportunity to decline.
Work pattern Mix of project sprints, sessions, office or remote days, and occasional travel. Irregular hours are common in music; they are not proof of a particular legal status.
Entry Assistant manager, Management coordinator, Adjacent marketing, live or label operations
Portfolio Build an artist plan, weekly report and transparent budget, then look for assistant manager or coordinator routes.
Credentials Hiring often values a portfolio and supervised experience more than a single global certificate. Teaching, driving, food, law, accountancy, medicine and security have local rules — verify them before offering the service.
Pay evidence Fee, salary, royalty share, commission or a mix — only as the agreement states. Atlas does not publish a universal percentage. Atlas does not invent a salary.
Merchandise Manager
This role translates audience knowledge into products that can be made, sold, delivered and reconciled. Work includes surveys, design briefs, rights checks, samples, size quantities, price decisions, stock counts, online listings, show sales, returns and supplier payments.
