Job Description
IMRO is a national organisation that administers the performing right in copyright music in Ireland on behalf of its members (songwriters, composers and music publishers) and on behalf of members of the international overseas societies that are affiliated to it.
IMRO’s Licensing Team is responsible for the licensing, invoicing and collection of royalties from businesses using copyright music, cinemas and live music venues and providing excellent Licencee services including the resolution of any Licencee queries which may arise.
We are currently recruiting for a full time Marketing Executive to join our Licensing Team. The successful candidate will drive activity to improve Licencees understanding of the requirement to have a music Licence, the commercial benefits of using music in their businesses, the importance of remunerating music creators for the use of their work while also developing Licensing communication channels.
This is a new role and a great opportunity to join a small team and make a real impact. Until this point, IMRO Licencee marketing requirements have been delivered to very good effect by the Membership Marketing Team. Licensing and Membership target audiences are now deemed to be different and require more specific and enhanced marketing approaches.

- Increase Licencee awareness of the importance of remunerating music creators for the commercial use of their work.
- Liaise closely with the Membership Marketing Team to ensure that all IMRO messaging is clear, consistent and on brand.
- Engage with Licencee representative bodies to take advantage of their marketing inventory to promote IMRO (e.g. VFI, LVA, Restaurants Association of Ireland)
- Generate and implement ideas to increase Licencee engagement on various media (including social media) and digital platforms.
- Understand the requirements of Licencees to ensure more value-added initiatives can be developed and delivered.
- Keep up-to-date with current digital trends, evaluate new technologies and suggest new ideas to enhance the Licensing Marketing strategy.
- Support the acquisition of new Licencees and manage existing client relationships.
Engage with existing broadcast partners to promote IMRO to national audiences.

- In-depth understanding of market research methods and analysis.
- Good administration and organisational skills.
- Creativity to come up with compelling campaigns.
- Strong team player with ability to work on own initiative within tight policy and target guidelines.
