Royalty Analyst (12-15 Months Contract)

What You Will Do as a Royalty Analyst: Process licensee royalty reporting — receive, review, and upload licensee royalty statements, and ensure amounts are reported completely and accurately against contract terms. Be a key partner to our licensees and internal teams — field and resolve inquiries from licensees, Regional Finance, A/R, and others with responsiveness and good judgment; you are often the person a licensee interacts with directly. Apply analysis, not just processing — assess whether reported royalties are reasonable (e.g., when reported figures depart from expected patterns) and investigate and resolve discrepancies. Support invoicing and payment application — coordinate with Accounts Receivable to invoice licensees and apply payments accurately to their accounts. Reconcile balances between our royalty platform and SAP, investigating and resolving reconciling items in a timely manner. Run and interpret reports from the royalty platform to support close, accruals, and internal/external partner requests. Help make the process better — take ownership of removing friction you see from the front line, test new system capabilities, and bring an eager, tool-oriented mindset to improving how the work gets done. Support close and audit — contribute to month-end and quarter-end activities and provide documentation to support internal and external audits. What You Will Bring: Strong problem-solving ability and analytical instincts — the core of this role. You investigate anomalies, ask why, and follow through until the figures reconcile. A genuine orientation toward partner and relationship support — you bring operational excellence, responsiveness, and reliability to everything you touch, with both internal teams and external licensees. Comfort and curiosity with tools and technology, and eagerness to use them to work more efficiently. Hands-on proficiency with Microsoft Excel. Ability to organize and prioritize a high volume of inbound reports and inquiries without losing accuracy or attention to detail. Strong written and verbal communication skills. A self-directed, collaborative working style, with the adaptability to stay effective as the role and tools evolve. Bachelor's degree in accounting preferred; SAP experience a plus but not a must Employees may be eligible for annual and long-term incentives as part of their overall compensation package, depending on role, location, and eligibility.
