Royalty Manager
Muse Group’s products are used by millions of musicians, from Ultimate Guitar and MuseScore to Hal Leonard. Behind every score sold there’s a composer, an author or a publisher who expects to be paid fairly and on time. Our Global Royalty team makes that happen, and we’re looking for a Royalty Manager to be the main point of contact for our US partners. This is a communication role first. You’ll be the person partners talk to when they have a question about a statement, a deal or a change in how we work, and you’ll make sure every one of those conversations stays clear, constructive and professional.
We are actively integrating AI and automation into all areas of the business and expect candidates with mindset focused on improving efficiency and deliver a better user experience.
