Client Services & Catalogue Operations Manager

Working closely with Pophouse

Y Royalties is looking for a Client Services & Catalogue Operations Manager to join its team in Stockholm, working closely with Pophouse and supporting work connected to its music rights and catalogues.

This is a role for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of music catalogues, agreements, rights information, documentation and client services. You will act as an important link between Pophouse, Y Royalties and different internal and external stakeholders, ensuring that catalogue and agreement-related information is accurate, accessible and clearly communicated.

This is not primarily a royalty accounting, licensing, sales or deal-closing role. The focus is instead on understanding agreements, maintaining catalogue and agreement information, coordinating questions between specialist teams and making sure processes move forward.

About the role

The role is employed by and sits within Y Royalties, while the day-to-day work will be closely connected to Pophouse.

In this role, you will support the ongoing management of music catalogue and agreement information. You will work closely with Pophouse, Y Royalties and internal specialist teams across areas such as rights management, data, royalties, legal and documentation.

A central part of the role is being able to read and understand complex agreements and how agreement terms apply to different parts of a catalogue.

• Acting as a key point of contact for questions relating to catalogue data, agreement terms, rights information and documentation

• Following up on missing documentation from sellers, selling teams and other external parties

• Supporting data room and documentation processes

• Helping identify whether a question belongs with data, rights management, royalties, legal or another specialist team

• Coordinating several parallel workstreams and ensuring clear communication between stakeholders

• Making sure relevant information is followed up, clarified and kept up to date

• Member services team

As a person

You are structured, communicative and service-minded. You enjoy being the person who connects the right people, information and processes.
