THE COMPANY
Our client is a renowned
content creation company, with an impressive library of content that spans
high-end factual TV, documentaries, corporate film, branded content and more.
THE ROLE
As Distribution
Manager, you will be responsible for ensuring that the rights revenues for the company’s
programmes are being exploited and maximised.
Key responsibilities:
- Serve as the first point of contact for
enquires about distribution and the client’s catalogue
- Handle any clip sale requests where the client
is the right holder; this includes drafting license agreements and sending
out invoices
- Keep updated on the latest rights, productions
and distribution information
- Work closely with post production teams to
ensure that any distribution deals are delivered to the established
timescale
- Maintain a strong working relationship with all
major distribution partners that the client work with
- Prepare quarterly Distribution Statements in

revenues against budgets and adjust forecasts accordingly
THE PERSON
The ideal candidate
will have extensive knowledge of working across rights, catalogue and archive
licensing and will understand the distribution process from start to finish.
Previous experience working
with similar programming is highly desirable but not essential as our client is
keen to speak with anyone who has a strong track record within clips and
archive distribution.
The role
works closely with post-producers, the internal financial team as well as key
distribution partners and so strong interpersonal skills would be beneficial.
