As a Senior Licensing Manager, you will independently manage and develop strategic relationships with major international licensors, serving as the primary point of contact for tier-one accounts.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as a key communication link, effectively collaborating with internal departments (e.g., product development, marketing, legal, finance) and external licensing agencies and stakeholders to ensure seamless project execution.

- Market and Industry Expertise: Maintain a deep understanding and awareness of recent developments and trends in the global licensing and entertainment industries.

- Licensing Strategy Development: Contribute to the overall inbound and outbound licensing strategy, leveraging vast experience to identify new opportunities and maximize existing partnerships.

Requirements include:

- Extensive experience in managing major licensing accounts on an international scale.
