Your New Role…
As the Director of Music Society Licensing, you will play a pivotal role in managing Discovery Global’s relationships and contracts with international performing rights organizations and collective management organizations, known as Music Societies.

In this fast-paced, deadline-driven environment, you will need a high degree of autonomy, organization, and discipline to manage DG’s international Music Society portfolio while supporting U.S. performing rights organization administration. A hybrid work model is in place, allowing for direct interaction and collaboration across internal business units.
Your Role Accountabilities…
* Manage Music Society agreements by reviewing, analyzing, and negotiating business and legal deal terms, collaborating with local in-house and outside counsel to finalize agreements.
* Provide business and legal guidance regarding Music Society agreements to clients outside the U.S.
* Assist the VP of Legal, Music with music business affairs and legal agreements related to U.S.-based Music Society agreements, including data analytics for renewal fees.
* Perform other duties as assigned.
Qualifications & Experience…
