Manager, Music Licensing (Netflix – Beverly Hills, CA)

You know everyone in the industry: the record companies, the publishers, the indies, the music supervisors, music libraries, production houses, music editors, artists, songwriters and managers. You think having several different licenses (synch and master) for the same work makes complete sense, you’re used to clearing compositions with as many as 5 or more publishers, and you’re not phased by split territory deals. You know who to contact for that obscure track from the 1970s and you’re ready with alternate tracks to suggest if it doesn’t clear. The music production process for original content is second nature to you – from script to budget to music clearance to on-camera through to delivery, reviewing/negotiating form licenses and reviewing/compiling/submitting cue sheets – you’ve mastered that and feel comfortable working independently through the process. You also love working in an environment where freedom and responsibility are a tenet, and passion, innovation and curiosity are mandates(http://www.slideshare.net/reed2001/culture-1798664). That curiosity is a plus for those who seek a role like this with unique opportunities to expand and grow beyond one’s immediate area of expertise, and to collaborate with colleagues in our domestic and international offices who share your passion for music, copyright and the entertainment industry. You seek an environment that places thoughtful efficiency over process yet you know how to work with organizations or institutions who may not hold the same beliefs. Your innate ability to maintain organization and focus fuels your effectiveness in successfully juggling multiple projects.
