As a Senior Analyst, Global Rights and Clearances, you’ll lead end-to-end rights clearances across APAC—negotiating and securing the permissions needed for Spotify-produced content and campaigns on and off platform.

You’ll handle a mix of large-scale and one-off licenses for third-party content used in productions such as live performances, performance footage, marketing, events, and Spotify Studios projects.

In this role, you’ll be a trusted partner to teams across the business, providing clear, practical guidance on third-party content usage and helping teams make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
