A little bit about our team:
The U.S. Legal Shared Services organization is based in WMG’s Center of Excellence for Shared Services in Nashville, Tennessee. The U.S. Legal Shared Services organization consists of three departments: Audit, Legal, and Publishing. Employees of the Center of Excellence provide services to all of WMG’s U.S. record labels, Warner Chappell Music Publishing, WEA Corp. and Alternative Distribution Alliance (WMG’s distribution companies), and WMG’s other U.S. business units.
The Audit Department is responsible for managing all incoming audits arising from the artist recording agreements, joint venture and participation agreements, publishing license agreements, and union collective bargaining agreements to which WMG’s U.S. record labels are a party.
Members of the Department work closely with employees in the Business Affairs, Finance, Production, Operations, New Media, and Marketing departments of each label client to fulfill the above-referenced responsibilities for the recordings and record those labels release.
Your role:
This position will manage all aspects of the audit process, including, without limitation, tracking audit notifications, reviewing and analyzing the claims contained in the audit reports we receive, making recommendations to the relevant WMG internal label clients regarding how to respond to those claims, facilitating settlement negotiations between the party auditing and WMG’s internal label clients, and ensuring that any internal accounting entries related to the audit process are made accurately and in a timely manner.
