A little bit about our team:
The Mechanical licensing team’s main focus is the clearing and licensing of all WCM songs released in physical and digital audio format. By working closely with internal departments, record labels, various major publishers, and the Harry Fox Agency the Mechanical Licensing Dept. makes sure our writers’ songs are cleared, licensed at the proper mechanical rates and set up for payment. Mechanical royalties are a vital source of revenue for our songwriters so we are looking for detailed oriented applicants who are ready to get involved in this exciting facet of the industry
Why this could be your next big break:
If you love music and have a mind for business this could be the position for you! With a stable of writers ranging from Cole Porter to Charlie Puth; from Lil Wayne to Little Big Town-and from Green Day to Dr. Dre Warner/Chappell represents some of the best song writers in the business!
We’re looking for independent, enthusiastic, music loving applicants ready to work with our team and provide our writers with amazing service so the mechanical royalties for their released products can be paid to them in a timely manner.
Here you’ll get to:
In this department you will have the opportunity to dive head first into the world of writer splits! By working with other internal departments you will become a bit of a “split detective” in order to provide the record labels, HFA, and our co-publishers with the writer shares Warner/Chappell represents. All of this “fact-finding” enables the record labels to calculate our writers’ mechanical rates, request licenses and pay our writers! All thanks to the work you do!
Every day provides a new challenge and working in this department you will have fun learning all about music publishing and its importance within the music industry.
Rockstar candidates will be able to:
We’re looking for candidates that have one or more of the following qualifications:
-A passion for music
-A natural drive to succeed
