Job Description:

At Warner Music Group, we’re a global collective of music makers and music lovers, tech innovators and inspired entrepreneurs, game-changing creatives and passionate team members. Here, we turn dreams into stardom and audiences into fans. We are guided by three core values that underpin everything we do across all our diverse businesses: 

 

● Curiosity: We do our best work when we’re immersing ourselves in culture and breaking through barriers. Curiosity is the driving force behind creativity and ingenuity. It fuels innovation, and innovation is the key to our future. 

● Collaboration: Making music and bringing it to the world is all about the power of originality amplified by teamwork. A great idea, like a great song, travels globally. We ignite passions and build connections across our diverse community of artists, songwriters, partners, and fans. 

● Commitment: We pursue excellence for our team and our talent. Everything in music starts with a leap into the unknown, and we’re committed to keeping the faith, acting with integrity, and delivering on our promises. 

 

WMG is home to a wide range of artists, musicians, and songwriters that fuel our success. That is why we are committed to creating a work environment that actively values, appreciates, and respects everyone. We encourage applications from people with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. 

Consider a career at WMG and get the best of both worlds – an innovative global music company that retains the creative spirit of a nimble independent.

● Investigate potential infringements of WMG’s intellectual property by digital services, social media platforms, websites, and mobile apps that use WMG content without a license, including conducting target research and due diligence, confirming rights and collecting evidence.

● Draft cease-and-desist letters, litigation document hold notices, and various reporting documents pertaining to litigations affecting the company.

● Assist with case management and discovery obligations.

● Interact with WMG’s senior executives and outside counsel, artist and songwriter representatives and music industry trade associations.                      

 

 About you:

● Familiarity with copyright registrations and navigating the U.S. Copyright Office’s online catalog.

● Ability to conduct yourself in the highest ethical manner and exhibit professional demeanor and sound judgment.

● A passion for music.   

 

It would be music to our ears if you also had:

● Experience in and/or general knowledge of the music industry and copyright law.

● A sense of humor, a positive attitude and an inquisitive nature.
