A little bit about our team:
The International Royalty Processing Team is part of the Global Administration division that resides within WMG’s music publishing company Warner Chappell Music and it plays a crucial role in supporting the end to end music value chain.
The team’s role of managing and reconciling the royalty processing of the EMEIA territories’ income is integral to the business. This involves working closely with the Local Royalties, Finance and Copyright teams in both the UK and other European offices to ensure all income is processed and reconciled in a timely manner to meet our contractual obligations to our clients.
Your role:
As an International Royalty Income Analyst, you’ll play a key role in making sure our songwriters are paid accurately and on time. You’ll be hands-on with international royalty runs, suspense management, and day-to-day royalty processing, while responding to queries and supporting projects that keep our global royalties operation running smoothly.
This role blends detail, problem-solving, and collaboration in a truly music-first environment. You’ll build deep knowledge of music publishing, work with passionate experts across the business, and see the direct impact of your work on our songwriter community. If you take pride in accuracy, enjoy variety, and want your work to matter, this is a great place to grow.
