- This role is the backbone of our licensing operations: the person who keeps track of renewals, rights administration, and royalty reporting day to day, while also supporting strategy, deal negotiations, and rightsholder relationships. You will also bring AI and automation fluency to the team.
- Experience working with music publishers, PROs/CMOs, collection societies, record labels, or other rightsholders in a licensing or royalty-related capacity.
- Practical, hands-on experience using AI tools to improve operational workflows, such as reconciliation, contract analysis, data processing, or reporting.
- Good understanding of the music rights and royalty ecosystem, including PROs/CMOs, publishers, labels, and other rightsholders, and how different licensing and royalty processes work.
- Not a data-entry or back-office role. You will use judgment on commercial terms, stakeholders and priorities.
- Not a role for waiting on instructions. You set your own priorities and go beyond the day to day. You look past immediate fixes to long-term improvements, and bring leadership recommendations on where licensing should go next.
- Not a legal role, and not the final owner of licensing strategy or deal sign-off. You shape those decisions with data and recommendations.

- Start: as soon as possible.
