Premises are visited by Field Officers who use a variety of methodologies to gather information and data which is then used by CLA to reward rightsholders - authors, publishers and visual creators. While primarily field based roles, for those resident in Greater London and SE England, some work will also be required to be carried out at our offices in Central London.
The successful applicants will have excellent analytical, diplomacy, problem solving, influencing and decision making skills, as well as excellent communication, interviewing, interpersonal skills and significant experience of working to critical deadlines.
