Royalty Accountant | Global TV Production and Distribution Group | London / Hybrid
Harmonic is delighted to be partnering with a global TV production and distribution giant, home to a group of operating companies and a deep catalogue of third-party producer relationships. Royalty accounting sits at the core of how the business pays its creative partners and protects those relationships. This is a chance to join a finance function that is continuing to develop its royalty capability.
The Role
Reporting into the Head of Commercial Finance, the Royalty Accountant will own quarterly royalty cash reporting for both internal entities within the group and third-party producers, alongside royalty cash forecasting.

The team is expecting someone who can pick up its systems and ways of working quickly.
