Who we’re looking for
The ideal candidate would have some knowledge of music publishing and be looking to get a solid footing in the music business and grow with us. Schooling in music industry studies is a plus, but are not required. This position is not a work from home position.
Success in this position requires a strong work ethic, attention to detail, a deep desire to learn, and the ability to create and nurture lasting relationships with our TV, film, advertising agency, and record label licensees. If you’ve always wanted to be a music supervisor, great, however, this isn’t the job for you. This is not a creative position.
What you’d do
- Draft and track licenses to ensure that they are signed and paid in a timely fashion.
- Register songs with the copyright office.
- Confirm splits and resolve counterclaims.
- Help to maintain our database of songs to ensure information is complete, accurate and up to date
- Assist client managers with research, projects, and resolving issues, and coordinate with other departments where necessary
- Interact with our TV/film studio, video game company, advertising agency, record label, and independent recording artist licensees.
Why you want to work here
- Competitive salary
- Health insurance and optional dental insurance plans
- Two weeks paid vacation
- An additional paid week off between Christmas and New Years for performing 16 hours of community service
- Company paid profit sharing and defined benefit plans
- A dynamic, varied workday. We believe our clients are best served when they have a single point person who is involved in all aspects of their music publishing rights. And we also believe that doing the same thing over and over day in and day out is a job for robots, not people. You’ll have a hand in the entire gamut of music publishing.
- You’ll gain a broad understanding of the music business as a whole, and a deep understanding of the nuances of music publishing.
- A casual office environment in a small, independent, writer-friendly publishing company proudly representing some of the finest music written in the last 90 years.
- Healthy work-life balance. We get an early start at 7:30am but call it a day at 4pm so we can spend time with our friends and family.
