Yousician is a music-learning platform with millions of users worldwide. This role is the operational backbone of the licensing function, managing the day-to-day administration of music rights, royalty reporting, and licensing economics that directly impact the business.
You will own several interconnected workstreams:
**Rights Administration & Tracking**: Build and maintain a single source of truth for all licensing agreements, including key terms, renewal dates, exclusions, and amendments. This enables fast decision-making about catalogue priorities.
**Licensing Economics**: Model how licensing costs affect business margins and revenue. Work with the content team to understand which licensed content drives user engagement and conversion. Forecast costs for upcoming deals and renewals.
**Automation & AI**: Identify manual processes in reconciliation, reporting, and follow-up that can be automated or improved using AI tools, scripts, or no-code solutions. You will bring hands-on AI fluency to the team.
**Deal Analysis**: Partner with Finance to benchmark proposed licensing terms against existing deals, and recommend commercial terms for negotiations and renewals.
**Royalty Reporting**: Manage the day-to-day relationship with the royalty reporting partner. Reconcile reports, verify royalty and invoice calculations, and resolve delays in claims and payouts.
**Rights Clearance & Monitoring**: Set up automated monitoring of license status and resolve clearance or takedown issues quickly.
**Renewal Management**: Own the renewal calendar, move routine renewals forward, and prepare analyses for strategic decisions by leadership.
**Cross-functional Collaboration**: Work closely with Licensing, Finance, Operations, Product, Content, Data, and Engineering teams on catalogue priorities and reporting pipelines.
This is not a data-entry or back-office role. You will use judgment on commercial terms, stakeholder priorities, and strategic direction. You set your own priorities, look beyond immediate fixes to long-term improvements, and bring recommendations to leadership on where licensing should evolve.
