And @Hadji - now’s your chance guys to put the OCC to rights

There is a little bit of me that finds it tempting to apply for this and jack the careeer in…. but I probably won’t.

All the songs older than two weeks would be doomed!

The 14 month FTC puts me right off.

Yep. Give them some ideas to remove the market rule, remove Christmas songs that are over 3 years old, remove the compilation chart and move them back into the album chart and stop unnecessary random resets

Only a 14-month contract! And no salary posted either.

In my experience, 'executive' is often code for 'low paid'.

Amen to all of this

Hopefully the successful candidate will add an extra 0 or two to Bebe Rexha’s sales

This - in the company I’m at ‘Executive’ is entry-level/admin title.

I’d apply just to see their database and leak total sales for Kylie and Madonna so I can update their chart threads in their respective artists forums! 😂

If I ran the OCC I would

1. modify the ACR system so that non-consecutive declines count towards ACR.

2. Double ACR for Christmas songs and former number one singles.

3. Complete ban on re-entries for songs with over 100 weeks on the chart

Same here for the things I'm interested in. 😆

whoever gets this job I suspect wouldn't be able to change a thing about how the charts are actually ran...

Especially as it’s an admin/office support role.

Its a customer service job. Helping subscribers and compiling data requests.

I love that they shamelessly put this in the ad

• High degree of data manipulation and interpretation to present entertainment market data in a clear and concise manner to client specifications

Misconstrue those stats babes!
