A little bit about our team:
Warner Chappell Music (WCM) is the music publishing division of Warner Music Group. Our UK team is based in London and brings together creative, commercial, operational, legal, financial, data and administrative expertise to support our songwriters and their music. Our teams work closely with one another and with colleagues across WCM’s global network. From discovering and developing talent to managing rights, licensing music, tracking income and paying royalties, every team plays a part in the journey of a song.

Your role:
Are you curious about what happens behind the scenes in the music industry? Want to understand how songwriters are discovered and supported, how their rights are protected, how they get paid and how their music finds new audiences and opportunities? Our paid internship gives you hands‑on experience of music publishing through dedicated rotations designed to align with your strengths and career interests.

Throughout your internship, you’ll build an understanding of how our teams connect, how decisions made in one part of the business influence another and how we work together to deliver for our songwriters.
