You'll review rights bibles, perform detailed contract analysis on third party license agreements, research use of public domain materials and perform risk assessment as to acceptability of non-standard licenses and releases, raising any concerns to litigation counsel for review and final sign-off. You'll counsel producers on how to cure deficient third-party licenses and coordinate with various business units to establish whether rights waivers should be granted.

Communication skills – you'll collaborate closely with Post Production, Legal & Business Affairs, external archives and third-party licensors, and must be able to communicate with clarity and tact to support those relationships. You're able to present information effectively to allow your partners to make smart decisions as quickly as possible.
Leadership – as a rights management expert working within a production environment, you will leverage your expertise to influence decision-making and avoid legal risks to the enterprise while helping us create great content.
