Rights Growth Owner

US, Remote

Hal Leonard

About Muse Group

Muse Group builds tools and platforms used by millions of musicians, educators, creators and music partners around the world. Our ecosystem combines music notation, learning, creator tools, publishing, content and technology.

We are building a new Rights Growth engine at the intersection of content, product, data and commercial partnerships. The opportunity is to make rights easier to activate, use and monetize across Muse products and partner channels, while creating a more transparent and scalable experience for rights owners.

We are looking for a Rights Owner to build and lead this new growth area.

• You will own the commercial outcome of a portfolio of strategic rights-owner relationships. You will work across product, technology, licensing, royalty operations, finance and commercial teams to turn content and rights into clear product value, revenue and contribution margin.

• This is a builder role. You will start with a focused portfolio of strategic partners, establish the operating model and create the playbook for how Muse grows rights-led revenue over time.

• The role is expected to evolve into ownership of the Rights Growth P&L, including the growth strategy, partner portfolio, commercial model and team.

Why This Role

• This is an opportunity to build a new commercial growth engine inside a global music technology and content ecosystem.

• You will have the ability to shape how strategic content partnerships create value across products, customers and markets. You will work with a strong cross-functional leadership group, build the operating model from the ground up and have a clear path to own a growing P&L and business vertical.

Key responsibilities

Required experience

• 7–10 years in music publishing / licensing / rights or in commercial roles in music-tech; fluent in both catalog language and platform economics (see archetypes below).

• Has owned a commercial outcome — P&L, quota or portfolio revenue — not only managed relationships.

• Proven stakeholder management without authority: a track record of getting delivery from legal, product, ops and finance teams they didn't manage.

• Practical experience of working with artificial intelligence tools, and a mindset focused on automating processes.

• Negotiation experience with rights holders / partners, including difficult renewals.

• Strong written communication — partner-facing documents go out almost unedited.

• US-based; able to travel to partners regularly.

A plus:

• Hands-on with AI/data tooling — has personally built automations and workflows (reporting, research, pipeline), not only commissioned them.
