About the Company
- Music wouldn't exist without the work of songwriters, composers and publishers. We're here to represent them and make sure that they are paid for their work. After more than a century in the industry, we continue to innovate as a world-leading organisation.

Through a collaborative and inclusive team approach, Distribution Operations work closely with teams across the business to calculate the revenue available for distributions, matching music usage data with licensed revenue and performing agreed control checks to ensure accuracy and completeness. There is also a chance to be involved in PRS' distribution policy decisions and reviews of its operational processes, while delivering record-breaking distributions to PRS members.
