Content Acquisition & Licensing Manager

Company Description GoPhrazy is a rapidly expanding localization service provider, specializing in cultural adaptation for audiovisual media in more than 150 languages. The company focuses on preserving the authentic viewer experience by applying cultural markers, ensuring content remains culturally appropriate and engaging across markets. GoPhrazy is currently building digital entertainment channels around high-quality third-party content, with a focus on YouTube, FAST, AVOD and international localization.

We are looking for a Content Acquisition & Licensing Manager to help us identify strong content opportunities, build relationships with rights holders and negotiate licensing deals that can support scalable digital channels.

What you’ll do

• Source suitable content catalogues from producers, distributors, studios and rights holders
• Evaluate content for digital channel potential, audience fit and commercial viability
• Build and manage relationships with content suppliers
• Negotiate licensing terms, including:
• territories
• languages
• YouTube, FAST, AVOD and VOD rights
• license term
• exclusivity
• localization and AI-assisted localization rights
• editing and versioning rights
• monetization and revenue-share structures
• Coordinate rights due diligence and ensure all required rights are clearly documented
• Maintain an overview of available, negotiated and contracted content
• Work closely with the CEO and Content & Distribution Manager to prioritize acquisitions
• Identify opportunities for outbound licensing of GoPhrazy-owned or represented content where relevant

What we’re looking for

• Experience in content acquisition, licensing, distribution or international TV/digital sales
• Existing relationships with producers, distributors or rights holders are a strong advantage
• Strong understanding of rights terminology and licensing structures
• Commercial mindset and confidence negotiating deals
• Ability to assess whether a catalogue can work as a digital channel, not just whether an individual title is good
• Understanding of YouTube, FAST and AVOD economics is highly desirable
• Comfortable working independently in an entrepreneurial environment
• Excellent written and spoken English

What matters most

We are not looking for someone who simply collects catalogues.

We want someone who can identify content with real digital monetization potential, secure the rights required to exploit it internationally and structure deals where the economics work for both GoPhrazy and the rights holder.

Working model

Remote.

We are open to:

• full-time employment
• part-time engagement
• independent consultancy
• a combination of fixed compensation and performance-based incentives

The right structure will depend on the candidate’s experience and network.

If you have experience acquiring or licensing content and understand where digital distribution is heading, we’d like to hear from you.
