Job Title - Specialist, Rights & Permissions
Help safeguard Pearson’s assessment products by securing, documenting and tracking permission to use third-party photos, video and text. You will combine accurate licensing work with confident stakeholder communication and disciplined project control in a confidential, deadline-driven environment.

About the Role

Working across several projects at once, you will partner with content development and production teams, rights holders and vendors. You will apply established sourcing and permissions practices, keep milestones on track and flag inconsistencies, risks or sensitive issues to senior colleagues.
This is a UK-based hybrid role with attendance at Pearson’s Strand office at least once each week. The work supports high-stakes assessment products and requires care, discretion and reliable follow-through.
What You’ll Do
