Bring the Noise, a leading Spanish festivals operator with seven well-established live music events in the North-West region of Spain (Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria), is looking for a new addition to its team. Reporting directly to the Financial Planning & Controlling Manager and with HQ in Gijon, this is a key financial role, supporting management in decision-making through financial planning & analysis, reporting, cost control and evaluation of commercial opportunities.
Resurrection Fest is an iconic reference of metal, rock and punk in Spain, and one of the most important festivals in the genre in Europe. Since its launch in 2006, world-renowned groups such as Iron Maiden, Korn, Motörhead, Kiss, Scorpions, Rammstein and Slipknot have travelled to Viveiro to perform at Resurrection Fest.
