Overview
Director of Rights Management and Contract Operations - Reuters Agency
This full-time hybrid position will be based in either London or Gdansk, with hybrid working available (in office 3 days per week).
At Thomson Reuters, respecting intellectual property and the rights and contractual obligations that govern how content and data may be used is fundamental. Intellectual property is the lifeblood of our business.
Reuters is seeking an experienced professional to join our Agency Commercial Operations team. This role is responsible for end-to-end rights management and contract operations across the Reuters Agency business, ensuring that rights we acquire (for Reuters'' use) and rights we license (to customers, partners, and other third parties) are governed, accurately captured and operationalized throughout the contract lifecycle. The role also leads the Agency's IP enforcement program, including emerging risks associated with AI-enabled misuse.
We are trusted to protect rights from misuse, whether they belong to Thomson Reuters or to third parties, and to ensure the rights we acquire and license are clearly defined, accurately captured, and consistently applied throughout the life of an agreement. From the journalism we publish to the products and partnerships that scale our content globally, strong governance over rights, licenses and permissions is essential to our identity and our ability to innovate.
That means we have a special responsibility to: (1) safeguard the intellectual property and rights we create and acquire, (2) translate contracts into operational reality so permissions and restrictions are implemented in products and workflows, and (3) enforce our rights decisively when misuse occurs.
By doing so, we protect our business, support our colleagues, serve customers with confidence, manage risk responsibly and compete effectively in the market.
