BMG is a new kind of music company. Our mission is clear; to help artists and songwriters make the very most of their songs and recordings in the digital age.

BMG is a company with service, transparency and fairness at its heart and a commitment to being the best international music company for songwriters, artists and everyone who works with us. In this role, you’ll work to ensure successful registration of BMG repertoire with income sources and the United States Copyright Office.

  • Collaborating closely with affiliate offices and sub-publishers to ensure global redirection of royalties.
  • Investigating and resolving registration inquiries from other BMG departments and clients.
  • Manually registering works on an ad-hoc basis where business priorities require.
  • Completing and submitting Copyright Registrations to the United States Copyright Office for all BMG-controlled compositions and recordings.
