Seeking Orchestrator / Music Producer (Remote Demo Tracks for Multi-Genre Musical)

The creative team of a new, multi-genre musical is seeking collaborative, tech-savvy Orchestrators / Music Producers to create high-quality instrumental backing tracks for a 6-song demo recording.
Note on Casting the Creative Team: The score spans a massive stylistic range from hip-hop to contemporary worship. We are open to hiring multiple specialists to tackle specific tracks, or a single "unicorn" producer who can masterfully handle all genres.
This initial contract focuses on digital track production over a 6 to 10 week timeline. However, we are looking for long-term collaborators; if the show is picked up commercially, these positions will transition into official project Orchestrators with an established share in the commercial profit pool.
Track Genres Needed

Musical Theatre Pop
Rock (Nine Inch Nails style)
Hip-Hop / Rap
R&B / Funk
Acoustic / Folk-Pop
Early-2000s Worship / Contemporary Christian Music style
Responsibilities and Scope

Phase 1 (Current Task): Produce fully realized, high-quality instrumental backing tracks based on existing melody and chord materials.
Timeline: Expectation is roughly 7 to 10 days per track, managed via flexible milestone check-ins to accommodate external schedules.
Phase 2 (Future Scope): Transcribe tracks into official sheet music, provide full instrumental orchestration, and assist with SATB vocal arrangements for ensemble voices. Additional pay will be provided for this next phase.
Requirements

Proficiency in modern DAWs (Logic, Pro Tools, Ableton, etc.) and high-quality virtual instruments.
Strong foundation in music theory and music notation software (Sibelius, Finale, or Dorico).
Experience with SATB vocal arranging is a plus.
Compensation and Terms

Developmental Rate: $100 total per track, paid out incrementally as milestones are met across the 6 to 10 week period.
For a single producer handling all 6 songs: $600 total ($50 base per song upon track delivery + $300 milestone bonus upon successful completion of the full package).
For genre specialists: Paid at a flat $100 per completed track upon delivery.
Future Incentive: The chosen orchestrator(s) will be attached to the project moving forward, with a contract provision for a share in the commercial profit pool upon future commercial production or licensing.
