• Assist in the development of additional systems and tools to monitor and audit our clients’ catalogs and activities.

• Review monthly revenue reports to identify potential violations such as artificial streaming, content abuse and rights violations.

• Track and enforce adherence to DSP-specific rules.

• Stay updated on copyright law developments and DSP policy updates, and proactively implement changes.

• Support internal teams in interpreting and applying DSP and rights-related policies.

• Serve as the point of contact for external partners (DSPs, clients, labels) on compliance-related matters.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Trust & Safety, Customer Success, and Tech teams to support compliant distribution practices.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of experience in compliance, rights management, or legal operations within the music or digital media industry.

• Strong organizational, analytical, and documentation skills.

• The ability to think through entirely novel cases and situations based on fundamental principles.

• Experience in music distribution, label operations, or with a digital aggregator.

• Knowledge of rights management tools (e.g., ACRCloud, BMAT, rights databases).

• Legal background or training in intellectual property is a strong plus.
