Job Description:
A little bit about our team:
Working under the supervision of the Executive Vice President of Sales at WEA, our team is dedicated to researching and analyzing the vast amount of metadata at the core of the Revenue and Repertoire Assurance process for Warner Music. The main goals of the department are to (a) drive incremental revenue opportunities for WMG with external digital partners such as SoundExchange and YouTube while strictly adhering to Best Practices; (b) work internally with our US labels, international affiliates, and WEA teams in Finance, IT, RMRA and R&A on a global basis, and externally with all DSPs, to improve and maintain the accuracy of metadata and the respect for WMG identifiers; (c) oversee efforts to monitor and take down infringing uses of WMG assets on digital platforms; (d) play a key role in Repertoire Assurance by analyzing opportunities for the International Repertoire Initiative (the IRI), an innovative digital distribution portal at WEA.
Why this could be your next big break:
If you love brainstorming with a team, diving into data, working with cutting-edge digital strategies and working hands-on to release international artists' tracks in America, this is the job for you. It offers the opportunity to learn about the global music business that Warner excels in, in a fluid, ever-evolving environment.
Here you'll get to:
• Research, analyze and assist the Revenue and Repertoire Assurance team in determining the validity of a wide spectrum of WMG metadata claims through ongoing and extensive audits of DSP environments, such as SoundExchange and YouTube

• Work with US and overseas Business Affairs teams to ensure that side artist equity splits, remixes and mashups are being properly monetized
• Proactively ensure that metadata pertaining to YouTube claims and conflict resolution is accurate and that global rights are current
• Analyze and identify incorrect claims of WMG assets by other claimants and alert the team to the exact nature of the problem for further review
• Help the team to determine key sources of metadata verification that will be relied upon throughout the claims process
• Identify WMG-controlled repertoire that is missing from the digital marketplace and coordinate with the team to communicate this information to all WMG repertoire owners
• Administratively create and maintain detailed notes on a track and project level so that the department database is up-to-date
• Participate in team discussions on how to respect Best Practices and how to prepare written and verbal presentations of Revenue Assurance work to our colleagues
• Help the team track and assess IRI releases by providing analytical support, based on market projections
• Continuously improve processes, tools and documentation regarding the handling of curating metadata
• Analyze data sets and report back both internally and externally
• Communicate complex technical problems and solutions to non-technical internal and external partners
• Troubleshoot infringement related issues and escalate accordingly
• Work with our developers to improve and progress our catalogue management systems
