About the role

The Accounts & Royalties Team within Ninja Tune deal with all income, expenses and royalty calculations for the Ninja Tune group of companies (which includes the publishing company Just Isn’t Music).

The role holder will prepare third-party statements for uploading into the various systems we use. They will be involved in reconciliations which provide a link between our royalty systems (reporting to artists and writers) and our accounting system (reporting within Ninja and Just Isn’t Music).

• Sourcing, handling and manipulating digital & physical income statements and recharges, ensuring they are in the right format to be uploaded into our software

• Tracking reports received from distributors and customers, ensuring they are complete, accurate, and arrive in a timely way
• Developing and maintaining good relationships with distributors and customers at small and large organisations around the world, as well as being the main point of contact for statement queries
• Generating and maintaining reports for internal use (i.e. physical/digital sales reports)
