Royalties Manager (Fixed Term Contract, 12-18 months)
Global Media Company | Manchester | Hybrid (2 days per week in office)
Our client, a world-renowned media business with productions famous across the globe. They can be found in every home across the UK. Leading the charge in digital streaming. And we're looking for someone who can help us get the numbers right when it comes to paying the people who make our content possible.
What you'll be doing
Join our Royalty Payments team within Finance Operations, where you'll oversee the accurate calculation, reporting and distribution of royalty payments to producers, broadcasters, talent and rights holders across global operations.
This is a hands-on leadership role that sits at the intersection of finance, contracts and operations. You'll be managing both new deal integrations and ongoing statement production, making sure everyone gets paid correctly and on time.
No small feat when you're dealing with licensing agreements, revenue shares and residuals across multiple territories and formats.
Day to day, you'll be:
- Calculating royalties for new contracts and overseeing accurate statement production for existing agreements
- Interpreting complex licensing deals and translating them into watertight payment calculations
- Reconciling payments, advances and recoupments while investigating any discrepancies
- Working closely with Legal, Business Affairs, Finance and Technology teams to resolve queries and improve processes
- Leading your team through multiple reporting cycles, setting objectives and developing their skills
- Identifying opportunities to automate repetitive tasks and streamline how we work
- Acting as the go-to person for complex calculations and system optimisations
What we're looking for
You'll need solid experience in royalty accounting, licensing, finance or similar data-intensive environments. Someone who's genuinely comfortable with contracts, numbers and the detail that sits between them.
Specifically:
- Excellent stakeholder management – you'll be dealing with everyone from talent agents to internal finance teams
- Team leadership
- Strong track record interpreting contracts and licensing agreements
- Deep understanding of royalty structures (licensing fees, revenue share, residuals)
- Advanced Excel skills – we're talking lookups, pivot tables, complex formulas and large datasets
- Experience with royalty or ERP systems (Rightsline, Alliant or similar) would be brilliant
- The ability to translate legal contract language into accurate payment terms
- Proven leadership capability: setting objectives, managing performance, developing people
- Sharp analytical mind with obsessive attention to detail
This is a 12-18 month fixed term contract, but it's a genuine opportunity to make your mark. You'll be joining at a time when we're optimising systems and driving automation, so there's real scope to shape how we do things.
Come develop your skills, change TV and the course of your career.
Don't just watch it. Be part of it.
