The WEAREONE.world group is the creative force behind a diverse range of creative industries including Tomorrowland festivals & events, music, fashion, storytelling, interior and product design, broadcasting, and media production. Within our music cluster, we bring together a record label (Tomorrowland Music), an artist management and booking agency (One World Artists), a DJ school (Tomorrowland Academy), a media production and distribution arm (Tomorrowland Media House), a global radio channel (One World Radio), and a dedicated business unit responsible for artist bookings and hospitality across our festivals & events.

You are expected to operate with ownership, structure, and strategic insight, while maintaining a pragmatic, solution-oriented mindset that enables the cluster to move forward safely and efficiently. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, are comfortable with short deadlines, and can switch quickly between diverse legal domains ranging from IP clearance and artist contracting to media licensing and royalty structuring.
