Job description

Role Overview

We're looking for a Digital Rights Coordinator to run the hands-on execution work that keeps our clients' money flowing: catch missed revenue, keep catalogs accurate, resolve claims and conflicts quickly, and keep monetization clean and compliant across YouTube. Every artist and label should feel like their catalog is handled with precision.

Rebel runs on carefully crafted systems, built for speed without losing the human judgment and attention to detail that set us apart. So you should be comfortable picking up new tools, documenting your work clearly, and using AI to move faster without losing judgment or accountability. You'll work closely with ops on execution and with client-facing teams on issue resolution.

Why This Role Exists

In this industry, artist money goes uncollected by default. Unclaimed tracks, mismatched registrations, and unresolved conflicts are normal almost everywhere (but not here!), and getting clients the money that the rest of the industry leaves on the table is exactly what we're here for.

As the roster grows, we're putting a dedicated owner on that work: every claim asserted, every match closed, every conflict resolved, and nothing left sitting.

What Success Looks Like in Year One

The 5 Key Accomplishments

Run daily workflows independently - You process catalog updates, asset optimization, and metadata entry clean enough that nobody has to double-check it

Resolve issues before they escalated - You catch and resolve rights conflicts, content claims, and channel issues before they reach a client, showing real ownership and follow-through

Improve the process, not just the output - You've documented workflows, spotted inefficiencies, and made at least one real improvement that adds capacity or accuracy for the team

Apply our standards with real judgment - You know platform and company best practices well enough to apply them consistently, and you know which calls to escape instead of guessing

Owns day-to-day ISRC matching - You match unclaimed ISRCs to the correct registrations using the matching tool, working through the roster and flagging high-value matches for review

• Assert clients' rights across every audio and video asset to maximize revenue

Who You Are (Humble, Hungry, Smart)

You're humble enough to work in a support role where precision matters more than visibility — collaborating with the operations team and taking pride in getting details right. You're hungry to find missed revenue opportunities and solve problems before they escalated. You're smart about navigating complex systems, knowing when to act independently versus when to ...?
