Position description:
Based in Montreal reporting to Ubisoft International Headquarters, you will join the Ubisoft Music team which, from Montreal, Paris & Shanghai, brings together music supervision, music licensing, publishing and artist partnerships within the company. You will more specifically join the Licensing group, whose mission is to integrate the best songs and musical tracks at the heart of Ubisoft experiences.
Alongside the Music Licensing Specialists already in place, you will be responsible for coordinating the acquisition of music licenses and ensuring smooth execution across a wide variety of projects to meet the musical needs of Ubisoft teams.
Main responsibilities:
- Work closely with music licensing specialists to understand their needs and budgets, and pass on music research to partners.
- Identify rights holders (publishers and record labels) of musical works, draft proposals and follow up on requests, from sending proposals to receiving agreements.
- Track received agreements and license terms, and collect license-related items (audio files, lyrics, credits).
- Develop trusted relationships with internal partners (legal, marketing, production) and external partners (record labels, publishers), and suggest new partners when needed.
- Ensure rigorous archiving of licenses in internal tracking tools, and coordinate with the administrative coordinator to guarantee payment tracking and contract finalization.
Qualifications:
To succeed in this role, you have initial experience in a similar role in the music industry (record label, music publisher, rights management), the video game industry or a similar industry (TV, film, etc.), preferably in an international environment. You will bring experience such as:
- Good knowledge and understanding of copyright related to music publishing and recording.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, enabling effective interaction with stakeholders at all levels.
- Autonomy, rigor and initiative, with the ability to propose relevant ideas within the team.
- Strong project management skills, including the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, structure processes and coordinate contributions from others.
- Solution-oriented approach, with strong resilience in the face of unforeseen events and challenges.
- Fluent written and spoken English, essential for international exchanges.
- Strong interest in the video game and production world is an asset.
