Our growing global Music Business & Legal Affairs Group is looking for a new member to join the Music Licensing Team: a Music Clearance Specialist who shares our passion for music to help support our expanding slate of Netflix content.\u00a0 Someone who seeks out and thrives in an environment where freedom and responsibility are a tenet, and passion, innovation and curiosity are mandates (https:\/\/jobs.netflix.com\/culture).\u00a0 A stunning and selfless colleague for whom no task is too small or insurmountable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Music Business & Legal Affairs Group is responsible for all of Netflix\u2019s global music business affairs, legal affairs and strategy, from the production and licensing of Netflix content through to the distribution of the Netflix service globally.\u00a0 This role is based in our Los Angeles office and will report to Manager, Music Licensing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a seasoned music clearance expert, you love music and everything about the music clearance process for film, series and documentaries. You know everyone in the industry: the record companies, the publishers, the indies, music supervisors, music libraries, production houses, music editors, artists, songwriters and managers. You know exactly who to call to expedite a negotiation. You think having multiple quotes for the same song makes complete sense, you\u2019re used to clearing compositions with as many as 10 rights holders, and you\u2019re not fazed by split territory deals. You know what action to take when a licensor redlines or stamps your quotes. You know who to contact for that obscure track from the 1970s and, if necessary, you\u2019re ready to suggest alternative tracks if it doesn\u2019t clear, even if you\u2019re not in a \u201ccreative\u201d role in the traditional sense. You avoid a \u201cfill in the blank\u201d or \u201ccut and paste\u201d approach to music clearances; in fact, you understand each deal, like each production, is highly-nuanced and there is no detail too small or insignificant, however, you\u2019re still focused on the big picture. You\u2019re not intimidated by a high volume of clearances or complex negotiations on a high-profile production, and you\u2019re able to combine pace with a high level of precision and professionalism. The music production process for original content is second nature to you – from script to payment of invoices and submission of cue sheets – you\u2019ve mastered that and feel comfortable working independently throughout the entire process.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You understand the importance of relationships and communication.\u00a0 You also understand the dynamics between showrunners, executive producers, line producers, producers, finance, production, post production, credits, labor, marketing, publicity, content localization, business affairs and legal affairs and know when and how to engage and align the appropriate teams when a music clearance issue calls.\u00a0 You are comfortable speaking with all stakeholders to find solutions to make the seemingly unsolvable, solvable. You may produce locally, but you think globally.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a unique opportunity to expand and grow beyond your immediate area of expertise, and to collaborate with colleagues in our domestic and international offices who share your passion for music, copyright and the entertainment industry.\u00a0 An opportunity to be part of a public company with a great consumer brand and to help Netflix shape the future of entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1507,"template":"","meta":{"_job_location":"Los Angeles","_application":"https:\/\/jobs.netflix.com\/jobs\/89099110","_company_name":"","_company_website":"","_company_tagline":"","_company_twitter":"","_company_video":"","_filled":0,"_featured":0,"_remote_position":0,"_job_salary":"","_job_salary_currency":"","_job_salary_unit":""},"job-categories":[86],"job-types":[16],"job_listing_salary":[93],"job_listing_working_environment":[],"yoast_head":"\n
