IP Rights Management: Conduct plagiarism checks, manage third‑party content workflows, complete risk assessments, and communicate recommendations.
Permissions Project Management: Assess materials for rights requirements, set up and maintain project folders, and engage with copyright holders for clearance.
Collaboration & Communication: Support publishers with copyright guidance and negotiate effectively with external rights holders.
Administrative Support: Track and archive IP documentation, oversee invoicing, and help improve internal processes.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
Detail-oriented, organised, and able to meet deadlines
