• Identify opportunities to support school music programs through instrument sales, accessories, percussion, print music, and audio products.
• Coordinate school quotes by gathering product specifications and communicating details to the appropriate team.
• Participate in music conferences, festivals, contests, and other educational events.
• Support other Ted Brown Music departments with deliveries and school-related services.

• Background in music and strong musical instrument or product knowledge.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build lasting relationships.
• Strong organization, time management, and problem-solving skills.
• A customer-focused, approachable, and cooperative attitude.
• Ability to work independently, manage a route, and coordinate multiple school activities.
• A bachelor's degree in music or a related field is preferred. Relevant education and experience may substitute for overall qualifications.
