Product Manager – Royalties & Reporting, Big Data & Publishing
We are around 50 people in the Royalty tech team today located across Stockholm and New York. Our task is to provide a royalty platform to the rest of the organisation and our licensors that handles our mutual contracts, and make sure we pay and report to each and everyone of them in a timely and correct way.
The teams you will guide from a product perspective are responsible for the technical solutions needed to report to and gather input from the Publishing ecosystem (Collecting Societies, Publishers), through which the song and lyrics writers of the world get their compensation. We are on an exciting journey where we are modernising and improving both our own processes and supporting systems as well as pushing change to the wider community, for instance through a new user interface where licensors can interact with us directly.
