Our people and culture are at the epicenter of our company, and we are looking for team members who share our service-oriented mindset and have a passion for looking after our songwriters.

As the global music publishing arm of Warner Music Group (WMG), we’re a collective band of music lovers, innovative connectors, and relentless supporters of our songwriters and catalog of iconic works.

Job Title: Analyst, Income Tracking

A little bit about our team:

The Income Tracking Analyst role falls within the overall structure of the Administration Team and has a direct impact on our songwriters through maximising revenue from all revenue streams.

You will enjoy the opportunity to provide input into the creation of reports that support Income Tracking as well as the opportunity to collaborate with internal departments to create and improve processes that can easily adapt to the constantly evolving nature of music licensing. If you love music and have a mind for business this could be the position for you!

Here you’ll get to:

• Work as integrated member of a future-facing administration team.

• Evolve ways of working to take our income tracking to the next level.

• Identify and make claims for shortfalls in income.

• Provide the business with regular forecasts/updates by income providers (society/DSP/ affiliate/third party).

• You will monitor accurate deal level revenue across all income streams

• Ensure affiliate income queries relating to domestic income are resolved

• Support the Admin team on projects including ad hoc forecasts and income analysis

• You will work closely with the US Royalty and Copyright teams to both resolve and proactively prevent against problems arising with the collection of income

We’d love it if you also had:

• You have skills to analyze, extract & manipulate data from high volume datafiles

• You have advanced Excel capabilities including Power Pivot & advanced formulae

• You have a solid understanding of mechanical licensing and copyright registration

• You are passionate about music and enjoy working with spreadsheets

• Excellent organizational and time management skills

• Experience working with PRO’s as well as HFA, MLC, and/or other collection societies

• The ability to manage multiple projects at once and hit time-sensitive deadlines

• The ability to join dots, think laterally and understand both downstream and upstream impact of events

• Experience with Alteryx and/or Tableau

About us:

At Warner Chappell Music (WCM) , we shape the culture of songwriting and champion songs that resonate for generations by creating transformational opportunities for songwriters everywhere.

Before the fans and fame, the soundtracks and syncs, there is the song. And before the song comes the songwriter - the heart of an art form that defines generations, and the soul of our business. Songwriters are our inspiration; we are their partners, collaborators, and crusaders.

Songwriters shape culture; and here at WCM we help hone their craft, build their careers, and protect their legacies. We value curiosity, collaboration, and commitment – which helps set us apart and helps us in our commitment and global service to our songwriters.

We are Warner Chappell Music - where songwriters are heard.
