Job Title: Music Publishing & Royalties Manager
Location: Mumbai
Job Type: In office

About SVF
SVF is Eastern India's largest media & entertainment company, spanning film production and distribution, music, television, and cinema exhibition — alongside hoichoi, its OTT platform reaching roughly 250 million Bengalis worldwide. SVF's music catalogue is one of the largest and most-consumed libraries of Bengali film music, anchoring some of the region's biggest audio and video platforms.

The Opportunity
SVF is looking for someone to take ownership of its Bengali film music catalogue — its accuracy, its rights, and its life across every platform it lives on. This isn't a generic content-ops role. It calls for someone who can place a song by ear within its year and film, who knows which composer worked with which director, and who feels the commercial DNA of the 2000s–early 2010s Dev & Jeet era in their bones. That fluency is what turns a catalogue of old songs into a living, monetisable, audience-loved asset.

What You'll Do
Own the health and accuracy of SVF's Bengali film music catalogue — metadata, credits, rights tagging, and listings.
Lead curation and programming of music content around key cultural moments — anniversaries, festivals, composer and actor milestones — with particular depth on the Dev & Jeet commercial era.
Build and maintain relationships with composers, publishers, labels, and rights holders connected to the catalogue.
Drive discoverability and monetisation of the legacy catalogue — playlists, remix and re-release opportunities, and sync licensing leads — with equal attention to lesser-known catalogue depth, not just the obvious hits.




Partner with marketing and content teams to spot nostalgia-driven campaign moments rooted in catalogue depth.
Define and maintain a structured internal knowledge base mapping composers, films, songs, and years.
Track catalogue performance across platforms and flag gaps or opportunities.
Support coordination on third-party licensing requests — ads, remixes, and sync use.

Must-Have Qualifications
5–8+ years of experience in music operations, label or catalogue management, or audio content programming — ideally within a film, OTT, or music company.
Deep, near-encyclopedic knowledge of Bengali commercial film music from the 2000s–early 2010s Dev & Jeet era — composers, soundtracks, actor-song pairings, and cultural context.
Working knowledge of music metadata, rights, and digital distribution systems.
Fluent in Bengali, spoken and written, with strong command of the broader Bengali entertainment landscape.
Sharp curatorial instinct — able to translate catalogue depth into audience-facing playlists, campaigns, or content moments.
Comfortable working cross-functionally with legal/rights, marketing, and content teams.
Uses AI tools to summarise data, draft documents, and explore process improvements — and knows how to verify and correct AI outputs.
Sharp, polished, and genuinely comfortable in client-facing settings — able to represent SVF credibly with composers, publishers, labels, and rights holders, not just work the catalogue from behind a desk.

Good to Have
Prior experience at a music label, publishing house, or OTT music vertical.
Familiarity with sync licensing and remix/re-release commercial models.
Comfort with spreadsheets or basic SQL for catalogue analytics.
Active presence in, or close awareness of, Bengali music communities and fandoms online.
