Specialist, Rights and Permissions (3 months renewable contract)

Professional Services • Contract / Project Based • Hong Kong, Hong Kong, HK • 6d ago

Job Title: Specialist, Rights and Permissions – English Language Learning

Job Description: As a Specialist in Rights and Permissions, you’ll play a critical role in enabling the use of third‑party content across English Language Learning (ELL) products and services. You’ll support the clearance of image, video, and text assets, ensuring they are accurately processed, documented, and ready for use in global learning solutions.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with detail, systems, and multiple projects at once — and who is excited to build expertise in rights, permissions, and content publishing. From day one, you’ll contribute directly to project delivery while developing valuable knowledge in copyright and media rights.

What You’ll Own

Rather than a long task list, success in this role looks like:

Delivering accurate and timely rights clearance for ELL projects, ensuring content is ready for publication and product release
Owning data integrity within rights and permissions systems — entering, managing, and remediating records as needed
Supporting project delivery , helping teams meet closure dates, manage extensions, and resolve clearance backlogs
Managing digital documentation and assets , keeping files organised, discoverable, and audit‑ready
Partnering with project managers and global teams , providing administrative and reporting support that keeps projects moving smoothly

Your impact will be most visible in your first six months as you help projects reach closure, improve data accuracy, and become a trusted partner within the ELL Rights & Permissions team.

About You

You bring strong administrative skills and a sharp eye for detail, and you’re someone who takes pride in doing things accurately and thoroughly.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

Are highly organised and comfortable working across multiple projects at the same time
Communicate clearly and collaborate well with colleagues across different teams and regions
Enjoy working with systems, data, and processes , and are quick to learn new tools
Bring a fluent level of English , with confidence handling written documentation
Have experience or interest in content, media, publishing, or copyright (or are keen to learn)
Are motivated by continuous learning and growing your expertise in rights and permissions

Experience with Microsoft Office, database systems, or SharePoint is helpful, but curiosity and willingness to learn matter just as much.

What You’ll Get

Hands‑on experience in rights and permissions within global education publishing
Full training and ongoing support for bespoke systems and processes
Opportunities to expand your knowledge beyond the immediate role and build a longer‑term career in content, rights, or publishing operations
Exposure to global projects and cross‑functional collaboration within Pearson’s English Language Learning business
The chance to contribute to products that support learners and educators around the world
