Royalty Administration Manager

We're looking for a leader to run our Royalty Administration team — the engine behind every dollar we pay out to our clients.Since launching, we've closed hundreds of deals and the volume keeps climbing. Last year we paid out over $20M in royalties, and the pace is only accelerating. Our Royalty Administration team's workload is the fastest growing across the organization, and we need someone who can scale it without missing a beat.The ideal candidate is an equal part operator and people leader. You know how to build efficient, repeatable processes — and you know how to develop a team that can execute them. You've managed royalty workflows (or something equally detail-intensive and high-stakes) and you're energized by the challenge of doing more with less friction. A background in music royalties or publishing is a big plus, but what matters most is that you're obsessed with accuracy, systems, and continuous improvement.You'll own the full royalty distribution lifecycle — from retrieving statements to delivering payments — and you'll be responsible for making sure millions of dollars move accurately and on time. Our clients trust us to get this right, and they trust us even more when we catch mistakes upstream before they become problems.Job Responsibilities Lead, mentor, and develop the Royalty Administration teamOwn the end-to-end royalty distribution process — statements, reconciliation, reporting, and paymentsDesign and implement process improvements that scale with deal volumeServe as the escalation point for complex royalty inquiries and discrepanciesPartner with Accounting and other departments to ensure accuracy across the boardSet priorities and manage workload across the team to meet tight, recurring deadlinesEstablish quality controls and audit processes to catch errors before they reach clientsTrack and report on team performance and operational metricsQualifications Prior people management experience requiredAbility to manage high volume, time-sensitive deadlinesGeneral ledger accounting and reconciliation experienceAudit experience and/or strong GAAP knowledgeMusic royalty experience preferredCompensation:$85k-$95k based on experienceBenefits: Medical, Vision, Life, Dental, 401kEmployee Stock OptionsPaid Time Off and Sick Leave Powered by JazzHR
