Their work is split into three streams, Record Company Services, Performer Relations & Development, and Contact & Support. Our Member Services team is passionate about music and works to help ensure all our members’ accounts are up to date, so they are able to collect the royalties they are owed when their music is played on radio, tv, online and in public.

You will act as a dedicated point of contact, providing tailored support across repertoire, distributions, airplay analysis, international collections, account updates and day-to-day queries.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage and nurture a portfolio of performer accounts, building strong relationships with performers, managers, agents and representatives.

- Support annual account planning for high-profile and high-value clients, helping to deliver agreed activities and account objectives.
- Respond to day-to-day queries professionally and helpfully, in line with agreed service standards and SLAs.
- Lead regular one-to-one meetings with performers and representatives, providing updates and analysis on repertoire data, distributions, airplay, policy changes and international territories.
- Identify and pursue opportunities to promote PPL’s international collections service, supporting member retention and growth of international mandates.
- Keep Salesforce and internal systems updated with accurate records of member interactions, correspondence and actions.
- Work collaboratively across teams to resolve queries, manage disputes and support excellent service delivery.

- Represent PPL at meetings and events, helping to strengthen relationships across the performer community.
