Job description

We’re looking for a precise and well-organised Licensing Compliance Coordinator to join Goliath and run the compliance side of our licensing business.

Working across our portfolio of games and toys, you’ll help coordinate the day-to-day relationship between Goliath and our licensing partners. In this role you ensure we meet our obligations under those agreements: every product, pack and piece of marketing approved before it goes out, every royalty report accurate and on time, and every contractual requirement tracked. You’ll work closely with our Product, Marketing, Finance, Sales and Legal teams. You’ll play an important role in keeping projects moving, ensuring approvals happen on time and helping bring licensed products successfully to market.

This is a good fit for someone who enjoys detail, numbers and process, and is experienced or wants to build a career in licensing.

The Role:

Approvals

• Manage the end-to-end Licensor approval process for products, packaging and marketing materials, from initial concepts and artwork through prototypes, pre-production samples and final production samples.
• Coordinate submissions, feedback, revisions and approvals with Licensors and internal Product, Design and Marketing teams, ensuring all stages are documented and deadlines are met.
• Track contractual approval requirements, compliance obligations and key licensing deadlines, escalating delays or outstanding approvals as needed.
• Ensure no products are produced or shipped, and no marketing materials are published, without the required contractual approvals. Maintain complete and accurate approval records.
• Coordinate product samples, artwork, style guides and brand assets between Licensors and internal teams.

Royalty management

• Review royalty reports for Licensors in collaboration with Finance.
• Track advances, minimum guarantees and payment schedules by agreement, territory and channel, and identify any shortfalls.

Marketing compliance

• Check advertising, social media content, PR and point-of-sale materials against Licensor brand guidelines before submission.
• Ensure the correct legal lines, copyright and trademark notices, and licensing marks appear on packaging and marketing materials.
• Track contractual marketing commitments, including marketing spend and launch support, and report on them to Licensors.

Contract compliance

• Flag upcoming contractual deadlines and obligations to the relevant teams in good time.
• Track Licensor requirements relating to product safety testing, factory audits, insurance and reporting.
• Act as the first point of contact for day-to-day Licensor queries and ensure actions are followed through.
• Work with Legal on contract questions and new agreements.

What We’re Looking For:

You’ll be someone who is:

• Highly organised, with excellent attention to detail.
• Strong with numbers and confident in Excel.
• Comfortable reading contracts and turning them into clear obligations and deadlines.
• Process-minded: you like systems, records and checklists, and keep them up to date.
• Persistent and diplomatic when following up on actions internally and with external partners.
• A clear communicator in both written and spoken English.
• A collaborative team player comfortable in a fast-paced international business.
• Interested in brands, games, toys and entertainment.

Experience in licensing, royalty administration, contract management or compliance, ideally in toys, games, entertainment or consumer products, is an advantage. We’re equally interested in someone with the right attitude, organisational skills and willingness to learn.

• Market-conform salary
• A hands-on, collaborative team that makes toys and games with one goal in mind: bringing fun to every household
• Employee discount on Goliath products
• Flexible hybrid working, with the opportunity to work remotely

You’ll see how licensing works from contract to shelf, across well-known brands and an international business. It’s a role with real responsibility from day one and room to develop your career within Goliath.
