About the job
SUISA makes music possible
SUISA is the cooperative of composers and publishers of music. Over 43,000 composers, lyricists and music publishers are organised in the company founded in 1923. SUISA enables music to be used publicly and ensures that music creators are fairly paid for this use. Together with sister companies worldwide, it represents the rights of a total of two million authors and publishers. SUISA employs over 220 staff at locations in Zurich, Lausanne and Lugano.
