Lead Content Licensing Specialist

• Act as the main point of contact for a large global portfolio of content publishers and licensing partners.
• Build long-term relationships with institutions, courts, government bodies, and commercial publishers. Act as a trusted account owner, not just a contract administrator.
• Track agreement terms, renewal timelines, and compliance obligations across the full portfolio.
• Spot and fix issues early, before they put content supply or partner relationships at risk.

• Own the renewal cycle for licensing agreements across US and international markets, and protect continuity of content supply through each renewal.
• Monitor each partner's compliance obligations, and flag risk before it becomes a gap in coverage.

• Find and pursue new licensing deals that close practice-area or jurisdictional gaps in Clio's content library.
• Run initial outreach and scoping on new partnerships, and hand off strategic or high-value deals to commercial or senior leadership at the right point.
• Work with Content and Product teams to rank licensing targets against the platform roadmap and content strategy.

• Negotiate contractual, financial, technical, and strategic terms with global legal publishers, courts, and data partners.
• Identify, evaluate, and close licensing deals that add real value to Clio's primary and secondary legal content.
• Manage multiple deals and renewals at once, and keep every regulatory or contractual deadline on track.

• Partner with the Content & Editorial team to make sure licensed content fits well with Clio's primary content infrastructure.
• Work with business unit commercial teams, including enterprise and regional leads, on accounts where licensing and commercial relationships overlap.
• Coordinate with Product and Legal on licensing terms, technical ingestion requirements, and content metadata standards.
• Give input on licensing strategy as the function grows and takes formal shape inside the product organization.

• 5+ years in content licensing, publishing rights, or partnership management, ideally with exposure to legal publishing or legal data.
• Proven work closing multi-stakeholder or high-value international content and software licensing agreements.
• Experience managing a portfolio of external partners across more than one market at once.
• Strong grounding in reading and analyzing complex legal documents, copyright frameworks, and digital distribution rights.
• Negotiation skills that hold up across financial, technical, and strategic terms with senior external stakeholders.
• Clear written and verbal communication, strong enough to manage relationships with external executive teams and internal stakeholders alike.
• Project management skills that hold multiple high-impact deals and renewals on track at the same time, with every contractual deadline tracked.
