Licensing Operations Manager

Yousician builds apps that teach the world to play music: Yousician (guitar, piano,

bass, ukulele, singing) and GuitarTuna. Licensed music sits at the core of the product: the songs, notation, and lyrics our users

learn from every day.

This role is the backbone of our licensing operations:

the person who keeps track of renewals, rights administration, and royalty reporting day to day, while also supporting strategy,

deal negotiations, and rightsholder relationships. You will also bring AI and automation fluency to the team.

What

you will do​

• Single source of truth for rights:​ Build and maintain one trusted record of

our agreements, including key terms, renewal dates, exclusions and amendments, so we can make decisions about our catalogue

quickly.

• Licensing economics:​ Model how licensing affects the business, including royalty costs against

revenue and margin, working with our content team on which licensed content drives engagement and conversion, and cost forecasts

for upcoming deals.

• Automation & AI:​ Find where manual reconciliation, reporting and follow-up can

be automated, and build those improvements.

• Deal analysis:​ With Finance, benchmark proposed terms

against existing deals and recommend commercial terms for negotiations and renewals.

• Royalty reporting:​

Manage the day-to-day relationship with our royalty reporting partner. This includes reconciling reports, checking royalty and

invoice calculations, and resolving delays in claims and payouts.

• Rights clearance:​ Set up automated

monitoring of license status, and resolve clearance or takedown issues.

• Renewals:​ Own the renewal

calendar, move routine renewals forward, and prepare analyses for strategic decisions by management.

• Cross-functional work:​ Work closely with Licensing, Finance and Operations, and with Product/Content and

Data/Engineering on catalogue priorities and reporting pipelines.

What you have

done​

• 2+ years in an analytical role such as FP&A, business operations, revenue operations, data

analytics or royalty operations, ideally at a digital product company.

• Built financial or operational models that leaders

used to make decisions.

• Strong data skills: advanced spreadsheets and SQL, plus experience with a BI tool (e.g. Metabase,

Looker), ideally a planning tool such as Pigment.

• Automated manual work using AI, scripts or no-code tools. You can point

to a real process you made faster.

• Comfortable with financial reconciliation, including accruals, invoice checks and how

revenue and costs flow through the P&L.

• Turned messy data from several sources into a clean, trusted dataset.

Strong

signals​

• Experience working with music publishers, PROs/CMOs, collection societies, record labels, or other

rightsholders in a licensing or royalty-related capacity.

• Practical, hands-on experience using AI tools to improve

operational workflows, such as reconciliation, contract analysis, data processing, or reporting.

• Good understanding of

the music rights and royalty ecosystem, including PROs/CMOs, publishers, labels, and other rightsholders, and how different

licensing and royalty processes work.

What this role is not​

• Not a data-entry or

back-office role. You will use judgment on commercial terms, stakeholders and priorities.

• Not a role for waiting on

instructions. You set your own priorities and go beyond the day to day. You look past immediate fixes to long-term improvements,

and bring leadership recommendations on where licensing should go next.

• Not a legal role, and not the final owner of

licensing strategy or deal sign-off. You shape those decisions with data and recommendations.

Practicalities​

• Compensation: competitive, based on experience
• Start: as soon as

possible.
