About the Role
Join the Contributor Royalty Accounting team at BBC Studios and play a key role in ensuring royalty accounting and reporting obligations are met accurately and on time. As a Royalty Analyst, you will support the calculation, analysis and reporting of royalties for contributors including writers, performers and on-screen talent, helping maintain compliance with contractual and union agreements while supporting a global content distribution business.

This is an opportunity to join a specialist team at the heart of BBC Studios' global distribution operations. You will work with complex data, develop expertise in royalty accounting and collaborate with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders. The role offers exposure to major talent and content portfolios, opportunities to contribute to process improvements and projects, and the chance to help shape how royalty operations evolve in a changing media landscape.

Your key responsibilities and impact:
- Support month-end royalty processes, including preparing systems for accrual calculations and analysing results to ensure accuracy and compliance.
- Review and process monthly royalty payment files, ensuring accurate reporting and payments to contributors, agents and other stakeholders.
- Interpret royalty accounting and reporting obligations and help ensure they are accurately reflected within royalty systems and processes.
- Build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, managing queries effectively and delivering a high standard of customer service.
- Contribute to change and improvement initiatives by acting as a subject matter expert, supporting requirements gathering, testing activities and process enhancement recommendations.

Requirements

Experience
- Strong organisational and planning skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver to tight deadlines.
- Advanced Excel skills and a highly analytical approach, with the ability to interpret, manipulate and summarise complex data sets.
- Excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach to identifying, investigating and resolving data issues.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively under pressure within a fast-paced environment.
- Confidence building relationships and communicating with stakeholders at all levels, both internally and externally.

About you
- Experience working in royalties, revenue share accounting or a related financial reporting environment is desirable but not required.
- Knowledge of UK talent union agreements and PACT Terms of Trade is advantageous.
- Experience using royalty management systems, such as Alliant, is a plus.
- An interest in and understanding of the evolving media and entertainment industry.
- Experience supporting system, process improvement or change projects, including testing and implementation activities.
